Gilligan: Thanks for the support, guys.I know a lot of dudes think of Journey as a wimpy ballad band (which I guess they are about 1/3 of the time!) but they can certainly rock as well.Neal Schon is able to add a lot of “meat” to pop songs with his playing.
Go check ‘em out if they’re in your town!The drum solo alone is almost worth it.
yeah wimpy ballad band at times… but they were THE kings of that stuff. I was listening to Journey albums last week on shuffle.
The question is which is your fav album? I always thought Escape…it’s the go to and hard to beat. “Stone In Love” probably my fav Journey song. But damn Frontiers had some killer tunes.
I’m more of a singles guy than an album guy, but looking at their stuff, I’d say Frontiers is probably the best. All those late 70s early 80s albums look pretty solid, though! And what an output over a short 5 or 6 year period!!
Favorite Journey song has always been Just the Same Way, but they didn’t play it last week.
Funny, I just started listening to Journey again last week after many years. Favorite song is Escape.
I also always liked the songs that featured both Gregg Rolie and Steve Perry. I remember hearing Feeling That Way and Anytime on the radio. Great songs.
