Journey, greatest band ever?

i think so...

How many times have you heard Open Arms and thought "man, if I was getting back with my Ex this would be a great song. I know I have. Then you remember they're a cold-hearted bitch who never liked you anyways.

For all those people out there that feel that Journey is one of the best bands ever. for those that thought Steve Perry leaving Journey was bigger than Challenger exploding. Journey exists in a dimension totally different from other bands. In this dimension, terms like "taste" and "artistic sense" and "musicallity" do not exist. Instead, musical greatness is measured purely in how many people can sing along. In this dimension, Beethoven sucks Steve Perry's.....

Steve Perry is the god of singers, a Zeus enthroned on the Mount Olympus of arena rock where his righteous tone, range and delivery rain down upon grateful mortals and demigods alike.

His golden voice and peerless songwriting skills helped your dad to score and will someday help you to do the same, after you realize the error of your Journey-hating ways and embrace, in a blinding flash, the sheer perfection that is Steve Perry-era Journey.

Rock on.

It's a good track, but I cant say I like to hear it often. The Time collection rocked.

I wouldn't say they're the greatest band ever, but they do have some really nice songs.

Anyone ever play the Journey Escape game for Atari 2600? You had to dodge groupies and paparazzi. http://www.journey-tribute.com/jour...rces/atari2600/

If you like Open Arms you'll love 'Separate Ways'. That song is so passionate and full of raw rock emotion.

i love journey, there greatest hits live is an amazing album...every song is a classic and very good!
if you get a chance to see them live, do so!

but as far as best band ever? dont think so...

they're many better bands..

i even love van halen more than them, it's their similar style and same time but they are just in a different level than journey...

I feel that anyone who truly believes this should be euthanised.

Icrymuch... no Arena Rock for RJT...

Posted by crackity jones on Dec-06-2005 05:58:

Haha, Aqua Teen Hunger Force got it SO right...

Most of the Journey fans I've met have been strangely hyper-sensitive about criticism of their Jurassic-period arena rock. It's like they're worried that if someone speaks ill about Journey it will cause the universe to implode.

Personally, I'd rather listen to... something else. Don't hate them, though, just can't take em seriously.

Yeah if you wanted to inject... Pine Sol through a neck catheter. It's too sad to be the greatest. How about Prince? Always upbeat!

Best band of all time must be the beatles but since I was'nt born in that timeframe, I'll stick with the two chord stadium rockers known as U2. So many tunes, so many memories...I must be getting old

Posted by Estella on Dec-06-2005 20:53:

Ok. ok. Fine. .... The Beatles.. We can't just tell Simon & Garfunkel to screw themselves. I nominate best song to be The Lonliest Boy in New York. Something about them singing "and half the time we're gone and we don't where we don't where.. " just tugs at the heart tendons. Or!! The Man Who Sold the World?! Bowie's version of course! No, sorry. Keep your electric eye on meee babee. Freak out in a moonage daydream ohhh yeahhh. Far out!

Posted by torontotrance on Dec-06-2005 20:57:

would you tell the same thing to mr.mccartney?

even tho Michael Jackson is a real nutcase/pedo, he still sold more records than most and who can top thriller?

Posted by LazarusDJ on Dec-07-2005 00:17:

Journey were fantastic. Don't Stop Believing is still a brilliant stadium-rock record.

It might sound dated nowadays, almost 25 years on, but hey, Journey had a sound that summed up the 80's just like Kenny Loggins, bad hair, and St Elmo's Fire did.

God bless 'em.

Wait, are you trying to say that sad music can't be great??? Pink Floyd is definitely one of the greatest bands in rock history, as are other bands with dark tones, such as The Doors, Depeche Mode, Nirvana and Radiohead.

The world isn't always happy and cuddly, so why should great music have to be only about those times??

I think my friend use to cry to Open Arms, because the track reminded him of his ex. One of my fave is Foolish Heart. Here is another thinng to ponder, I think we should make more trance remakes of these fine 80's tracks.
