He was born in 1989....
Okay, so Gronk would lose badly on ‘Name that Tune.’ Did anyone seriously expect him to know anything about anything other than football?
in his defense, Journy sucks
I think that it’s great that he doesn’t know all these groups. I know more about that sort of stuff than I should. I was edified when I was courting my future wife (born in ‘77), and she didn’t know who George Harrison was.
I would've thought "Lights" would be their top song, or maybe "Wheel in the Sky". I guess that's just because of my age. Also, I hate the way modern streaming has broken songs that were meant to run together, like Journey's "Feeling That Way / Anytime", Queen's "We Will Rock You / We Are the Champions", Van Halen's "Eruption / You Really Got Me" and Elton John's "Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding".
Not a huge shock. I often get Journey tunes mixed up with songs by Foreigner. Both were groups that had a certain sound but were, for the most part, faceless.
I am with Gronk, who’s Journy ? Like i always say, that’s that Journy song.
Personally, I found that time when he asked if Riemann's Hypothesis could be proven using hyper-elliptical variance in the zeta function much more embarrassing!

Gronk should’ve made a move on Taylor. Must see TV.
I can’t stand Journey... Never could.
I don’t blame him at all. There has been so much actually great music that has been composed in the last 300 years that, why would you even waste your time with Journey or most Pop for that matter?
Gronk doesn’t know the name of a rock group? Well, that shoots his credibility as a modern tv football analyst.
The Superbowl is going to be pretty anticlimactic. There is no way the NFL will let Taylor’s Swift’s team lose. The marketing synergies are far too great to pass up, and the gambling interests know it.
Maybe he’s a classical music fan, or jazz fan or country fan or Mongolian throat singing fan.
The ditzy blonde used to be a standard trope in comedy duos.
Now it’s the dumb jock.
In defense of Rob, that song debuted 8 years before he was even born.
And Steve Perry is now 75 years old...LOL!
Get a real problem, Larry.
Ridiculous clickbait title. Every one of Journey’s hits were recorded before Gronk was born. Plus it’s not like they were such a great band anyway. Their best tunes were probably Wheel in the Sky and Anytime.
It's *also* funny to me as a Journey fan since the early 80s that some fellow Gen Xers and younger Boomers are still stuck in a pretentious-1981-Rolling-Stone-rock-critic view of Journey as faceless corporate balladeers.
They are enormously talented musicians who were capable of far more than commercial radio ever let on. Two of the guys were from Santana--Gregg Rolie who sang "Black Magic Woman", and Neal Schon, a guitar prodigy that Carlos hired at like 15. And even their most commercially successful stuff has some great musicianship and songwriting.
Listen to tracks from first 3 albums of hard rock/experimental fusion if you want the full picture. Here are some of my favorites from that era:
Nickel and Dime note the time signatures on this one.
As a music teacher, and in my 60s, I’ve noticed things have changed. Kids today have a more superficial take on the current hits and after a few weeks, bump them from their mixes, never to be allowed to return.
Also, they show a tortured revulsion for the ‘oldies’, any songs, of yesteryear. If one of their parent’s favs comes on the car radio, their hand darts for the controls at warp speed with a cry of anguish on their lips.
One caveat, home-schooled kids aren’t this bad.
