FINALLY hitting some Journey! We’ve waited a while to get around to it but it was time!! Where do we go next with them?! 🔥

Steve Perry never yells. He wails, and it hits you right in the feels. He has one of the greatest voices in rock. Keep on going with “Lights.”

My British husband played keyboards for Lennie Kravitz and The Outfield on tours and when the Outfield opened for Journey on their USA tour in the 80s, Reg said that there was no purer sound than listening to Steve Perry warming up in an empty auditorium! He was in awe. Perry is still my favorite voice in rock.

STONE IN LOVE... that's the only one you need to hear to cement that these guys could ALSO rock. Yes they liked to make the kids cry, but they could also rock. And Stone in Love is pure juice!!!

Lights. If you're feeling homesick and listen to Lights, you'll cry. When I was away in the military, this song choked me up every time I heard it. It is an amazing song.

Who’s Crying Now has one of the best guitar solos of all time

"Feeling That Way" & "Anytime" When Journey had two singers. Steve had just joined the band and they did an album with the old singer and the new. Their two vocal styles complimented each other amazingly. I wish their old singer had stuck around. It really is magic.

There’s a reason that these guys filled stadiums night after night after night .... the talent is off the chain! I’m throwing my vote in for ‘Stone In Love’ as well if you react to them again! 🎸

Even people who say they hate Journey, alone in their cars, are singing it at the top of their lungs. And of course Neil Schon!

“Feeling That Way/Anytime” best of old Journey. Full stop. “Stone in Love” Neal Schon guitar solo is killer. Bass line drives the tune.

When you buy an album 4 times from losing it, breaking it, being stolen and borrowed and never returned, you know it is a great album...😏😏😏 #GREATESTHITS

Not Steve yelling, but Steve hitting some amazing high notes.

This is the best era of Journey, when Greg Rolie handed the lead vocals over to Steve Perry but was still with the group.

"Feelin That Way", and "Anytime" will give you both all the goodness Journey has to offer, and some grittier guitar work

Stone In Love is a must. Neil Schonn at his bad-ass best!

Never apologize for loving Dont Stop Believing. Its an amazing song no matter how overplayed its been. I hope you guys continue to explore Journey. Its painful to know you guys have barely been introduced to Steve Perry and his incredible voice.

“Anyway you want it” is a great track that really shows off Steve Perry’s voice, with all his high notes and awesome vibrato style. Also look into their live albums. Great versions of their early and best music.

"I'll Be Alright (without you)", "Stone in Love" and "Who's Crying Now" all have the killer guitar solos you wanted in this one.

'Feeling That Way/Anytime' should be the next Journey selection

Steve Perry's voice soaring above that guitar solo. Damn. Chills. Steve will always be the voice of Journey, no matter how many karaoke singers they find, to try to replace him... he's irreplaceable, end of story.

Steve Perry once said that he never felt like he was part of Journey - Hell man You are Journey!

The interesting thing about Steve Perry's vocal range is that he can hit very high notes without going falsetto (head voice) - - he's still singing from the chest voice.

I’ve always loved Journey. Escape was the first record I ever bought with my own money... Steve’s voice on ‘Mother, Father’ and ‘Still They Ride’ is absolutely incredible... ‘Open Arms’ is one of the truly great ballads... Legendary voice. Neil Schon is a pretty great guitarist, even if he is a prick of a person... Steve Smith is a spectacular drummer, and a very nice person.

Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin' is my fave early Journey. Speaking of karaoke performances... My 11 yr old son approaches as I'm listening to this. (both earbuds in, singing away). "You sound like a dying cat." he says.

Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin', is the song that got me hooked on Journey, but I think two of the most unique hits Journey cranked out were "Just The Same Way" and "Feeling That Way", where Gregg Rolie & Steve Perry shared lead vocal duties.

"mother father" live from Houston 81... Please look at Steve vocals live.. He is touching sky like an angel there😇😁 and Neal guitar solo.. Also in "stone in love" guitar is burning. Maaan this are the masterpieces of life performances, like Phil Collins "in the air tonight" live in Paris, first farewell tour - mind blowing!!!

That was a nice surprise for a Monday. I drank the koolaid ( ha ha). Love Journey. Steve Perry has a great voice. "Lovin', touchin', squeezin'" and "Lights".Thanks A&A.

Never a big Journey fan, but I always liked "Lights" and the "Feeling That Way/Anytime" combo. (They were meant to be listened together.)

STONE IN LOVE. Best Summer Song of all time

Don't Stop Believin' isn't my favorite Journey tune by any stretch but it's hard to knock a big hit from almost 40 years ago that became a huge hit again decades later. That's not "cheese" -- that's inarguably a classic, no matter what your taste is.

Are you 2 saying, you haven't heard/reacted to, "Separate Ways"?! Heck, react to Side A of Frontiers (1983), and you'll be blown away. And, yes: Steve Perry was hitting those HIGH NOTES. He's known for that...even in his 60s, on his latest solo album, Traces.

Neal Schon and Greg Rolie were in Santana before they were in Journey. Schon is one of the best rock guitarists in history.

Wow, way back to the early Journey stuff. It is hard to describe how HUGE this band was in the 70's and 80's. One of the great voices in R&R history.

And Neil Schon is suuuuuch an underrated guitar player

"Stone In Love" has the BEST guitar solo by Neil Schon ever...you gotta hit it!!

On Nov. 3 1991 I along with 300,000 wonderful music fans attended "Laughter, Love & Music " Bill Grahams memorial service at Golden Gate park after he along with 2 others were tragically killed in a helicopter crash. I was a Dead Head and liked Journey on a sing along with the radio kind of level. Many Bay Area bands played...Jackson Browne, Tracy Chapman,Crosby,Stills, Nash & Young, the Dead, Credence Clearwater, Santana. Robin Williams hosted. Steve Perry stepped up to the mike and said..".I know you're not all Journey fans, but even if your not please, please sing along. Let's show how much this city loved Bill and the joy he brought to us" They then performed "City By the Bay" Perry's ethereal voice had me in tears. It was truly magical. A big airtanker flew over and dropped flowers on the crowd as they performed. I've been to hundreds of concerts over the years but this...especially the crowd singing.....lit lighters raised to the sky, along with Steve Perry was really one of the coolest moments EVEAAAAAHH. You should check out this song as well as "Don't Stop Believing"

“Lights” is a great Bay Area anthem. Brings back great memories.

Good to be up first. This one goes way back like "Feeling that way too / Anytime You Want Me ."

I saw Journey in the 80’s with Steve Perry! They were fantastic!

“Patiently” live 1978, “Still They Ride”, Stone In Love”, “Mother Father” live in Houston 1981, are some of my favorites.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND hitting Dixie Highway off the Captured, live album. The song was only recorded live, but it is 7 minutes of heaven! Amazing musicianship, some really good transitions, and Steve Perry's amazing voice. Neal Schon has, imo, his best guitar solo on this song!

You know you have a great lead singer when one of your backup singers is Greg Rolie who sang lead on Black Magic Woman with Santana.

no one mentions The incredible notes Steve Perry hits in the background during the guitar solo

No he was not yelling. That's the voice of an angel

Journey was a unique Opera Rock bands which did a wide diversity of music from hard driving rock, opera rock, rock ballads, and they need a deep listen into their songbook to hear just what the incredible talent of Steve Perry and the rest of Journey were able to do. I am happy to hear the appreciation to their mix diversity. There are many more gems left to hear......rock on....

Don't you dare break up "Feeling That Way/Anytime." Seriously.

Yes!!!! He is singing at the high part, and holding that note! He is AMAZING!!!!

Right around the 4:28 mark Steve let's out a soaring long note in the background of the guitar solo. It just adds so much emotion to the song.

Guys its not yelling. Its called pure talent.

Feeling That Way/Anytime is a great classic song by Journey. Steve Perry shares vocals with Journey's original vocalist and the guitar solos are phenomenal.

Steve Perry is so unique in his upper range, that it is tough to cover Journey songs. You start playing a Journey song, and do a reasonable job with the instrumental - but then your cover band singer comes in, and you realize you are never going to try and play the song in front of anyone. Due respect to the cover band singers, but if you find a singer that can due justice to a Steve Perry vocal, that's a different level of singer.

Who's crying now and girl can't help it great songs open arms or faithfully for ballads and separate ways for the banger they have everything

Every song on Infinity is a classic.

I think Steve Perry's voice is one of the finest, most iconic in rock history. And Journey's musicianship is outstanding. It elevates everything they've ever done, including the cheesy stuff, the overplayed stuff, and the filler in some of their albums. Good job breaking down some of the little details, as always!

“Feeling that way” is by far the best Journey song.

Next Up: Lights, Just the Same Way, (Feelin' That Way/Anytime), (Lovin' Touchin' Squeezen'/City of The angel). When played on the radio, they would often play these songs together.

STONE IN LOVE!!!!! It’s what you’re looking for

Stone In Love. Good riff, good hook, good guitar solo.

Journey is the tale of two, well now three, bands. Early on before Steve Perry joined, they were a California jam band. It's understandable seeing as Greg Rolle and Neal Schon formed the band after playing with Santana for years. Once Steve joined and contributed to writing songs the band noticed that more women were showing up at gigs, instead of a bunch of sweating guys. As for early Journey here goes - Lights, Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin', Anyway You Want It, Feeling That Way/Anytime to start. When Greg left and Jonathan Cain, of the Babys, joined the stuff got a bit more commercial due to it being the height of MTV. And YES Steve perry is the voice, I've had the pleasure of seeing three of the greatest rock vocalists live in my life Steve Perry, Ann Wilson and Freddie Mercury.

“Is he yelling in the back?” Nope. He’s singing. Those are controlled notes. And yes, Steve Perry could actually hit those notes. As a teen I “broke” my larynx numerous times trying to replicate Steve while driving around town. Lol

'Stone In Love' has my favorite guitar solo by Journey, and it comes in at my #5 favorite solo of all time. You should check that one out next.

Please do ‘Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin’ next. You won’t regret it.

Feeling that way/anytime those will be great to listen to.

Don't stop believin is one the greatest rock songs ever. It has totally been poundung into everyone's head perhaps more than any song should be. It's hard not to be absolutely numb to it, it's been so overplayed. But it's a song that will never go away. Lovin touchin squeezing, Lights, stone in love... those would be the next ones to listen to.

S tier journey song. “Lights” and “separate ways” are also s tier. Some other guys like stone in love, who’s crying now, only the young, only solutions, feeling the way/anytime.

Separate Ways and Stone In Love are the bangers you want to hear.

Steve Perry's voice is simply amazing. Just like Freddie Mercury, his range is breath-taking. So many songs showcase his gift - Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin', Who's Crying Now, Open Arms. And Andy, you don't need to apologize for the thematic appreciation of Don't Stop Believing! It's a show choir staple!

Steve Perry singing For tomorrow is one my favorite moments in rock.

I wasn't a fan of Journey when I was young but came to appreciate them more after time. "Feeling That Way" off the same album, "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" (what I call a Na-Na song), and "Stone in Love" on Escape among my favorites.

Journey is great. Steve Perry is awesome. I understand Don't Stop Believin may be a little over played. But everything with Steve Perry is Amazing. Stone in Love, Open Arms, Lights, Faithfully, Separate Ways, Why's Crying Now. Still they Ride, Send Her My Love, Why can't This Night Go on Forever. And so many more. Give them a chance, you won't be sorry. There is no one like Steve Perry.

"Feeling That Way" S "Lights" and "Stone In Love" A+ "Open Arms" Makes me want to hurl.

'Stone In Love' and 'Feeling That Way/Anytime'

Andy, Don't Stop Believing...is an amazing 💙 song so don't you ever stop believing that. Wheel in the Sky is also great and every song they did was special. Special people, special times.

"Stone In Love" and The Party's Over", and"Lights". are my favorite Journey songs.

I was always a Journey fan in Jr. High, all the chics were. I remember distinctly the concert, when I decided Journey had gotten cheesy. 1978, Summit, Houston, Tx. AC/DC opened up for them and literally blew our minds!!!! Bon Scott carrying Angus Young on his shoulders, down through the crowd. Wow!!! ✌️🎸💥

Went to the Summer Blowout concert at the LA Coliseum in 1980. Journey, Cheap Trick, Black Sabbath... When Journey hit the stage, I had never seen thousands of beach balls hit the air like that before. No one let a ball hit the ground. People went F’ing bat shit crazy! The atmosphere was on fire! Early Journey- Just the Same Way. Steve was the backup vocal. Gregg Rolie was the lead vocalist and played keyboards.

Nastier you say? Stone in Love and Who’s Crying Now are two of Neil Schon’s best solos.

Journey actually started out as a jazzy prog band. Their sound underwent a major metamorphosis when Steve Perry joined in 1977. They truly hit superstar territory when their original keyboardist left in 1980 and was replaced by a much more pop-oriented songwriter. Wheel in the Sky is from the first album with Perry.

Journey is a GREAT start to the week.

This was Journey’s first single (radio) with Steve Perry. #1 Journey fan and can go forever without hearing Don’t Stop!

Stone in love, and any way you want it. Both great guitar solos. Epic song is feeling that way/ anytime back to back like radio play

YESSSSS! Next up PLEASE do "Feeling That Way/Anytime" back to back! SOO GOOOOD

That wasn't yelling that was our friend Steve Perry rivaling Freddie Mercury in range, and emotion

You should do "Lights" This is the 1st song I ever heard by Journey. It was summer of maybe 1978 or 79 so I was allowed to stay up late and it was a late night video. This is probably my favorite Journey song.

FEELING THAT WAY/ANYTIME is a must from Journey, STONE IN LOVE as well. This was Steve Perry's debut with Greg Rollie singing together! DO IT GUYS!!!!!

Steve Perry is known as “The Voice”.

There are 3 Journey albums that came out before Steve Perry joined. They had a totally different sound before that.

Off the first side of the INFINITY album; "LIGHTS", "FEELING THAT WAY", "ANYTIME", and off of the evolution album; "LOVIN, TOUCHIN, SQUEEZIN" and "SWEET AND SIMPLE".

Omg. Steve Perry's voice. Simply breathtaking.

You may already know 2 members of Santana broke off to form Journey, FYI. Also from same album Feeling That Way/Anytime (2 part song) is a BANGER with great guitar work.

Journey has incredible roots with Schon and Rollie coming out of Santana. If you guys want to trip, listen to them BEFORE Steve Perry joined. The song “Of a Lifetime” , off their first album, is an epic jam!

Yes, you caught that extended high note Steve sings during the guitar solo. Almost everyone reacting to the audio version misses it. Sounds unreal!

"Stone In Love" and "Open Arms." And "Lights."

Bob Jovi used to call Steve Perry ‘The Voice’. Very highly esteemed in rock circles.

Also Journey - Faithfully

I will never forget. It was 2002, I was fired from a job at Computer Associates while I was living in Northern Viginia. I was only at the company for 3 months. I went to my car, and I immediately turned on my radio, like I always did, and what did I hear. "The Wheel in the Sky Keeps on Turning." I got over my firing very quickly!!!!

Yes he was getting that high in range during the middle of the song!

This album was so good I use to play it at 10 on my parents stereo!

Journey's "Anyway You Want It" from the Album Departure and the duet with Steve Perry and Kenny Loggins "Don't Fight It" from Kenny Loggins High Adventure album. Both great bangers.

I remember 1996 me and my wife hitting the freeway ramp on I-75 south to Alabama leaving Detroit(my home town) and the song wheel in the sky coming on the radio. Glancing back and saying goodbye to where I grew up.
