The track, by US soft rock band Journey was first released in 1981.
Nearly 30 years later, downloads of the original song stand at about three million while, according to Journey founder Neal Schon, sales of the version made by the stars of TV series Glee have hit the one billion mark.
"Don't Stop Believin' has just turned out to be a beast, something that we never imagined would happen, and it just keeps going," Schon told BBC News.

I like all sorts of music, from Doo Wop to Motown to country to classic rock. But I would say Sam Cooke is my all-time favorite.

Listen to their first three albums and tell me they were girl rock. They were far more musically talented than most of the clowns out there who were stoned out of their minds at the time.
Yes, I have lots of Sam Cooke on vinyl.
Here is some great Glass Harp music...

Lol! Stop it, you're killing me!
Steve Smith, the original Journey drummer, had a solo disc called “Steve Smith’s Vital Information”...one of my favorite heavy jazz albums ever...give it a listen if you get a chance...magritte
Digital is never quite as good as analog. Information is lost. It all depends on how good the reproduction is.
True, at some point it is immeasurable. But it takes a few years and improvement in the digital technology. What users are trading quality for is convenience and as you say, portability. Another note: many digital media sources (cable TV, Internet radio, etc.) tend to throttle the bit rate (quality) thinking that we wont notice. The average customer doesn't notice. I do. But is good enough.
I remember in 1978 the first time I saw The Pat Metheny Group on TV, I was absolutely mesmerized, it didn’t sound like anything I had ever heard before, and here were these guys who looked like a rock band, playing jazz.

If Perry doesn't come back, I really think they should think about tapping back into their pre-Perry days 1973-1977. Do some prog/space rock stuff with a modern twist.
More people need to know about *that* Journey.
I have Pat Metheny with Lyle Mays on vinyl, very hard to find now. He is phenomenal. He plays some wild guitars too.

He had this one made for him.

So few have heard pre Steve Perry Journey. I have some on vinyl, and I don’t think it has been put to cd. I could be wrong about that though.
Yep, that’s the Pikasso 42-String.
You should have seen his Orchestrion tour, here is a sample.

What’s amazing is that if you didn’t know any better, you would have thought it was a normal band making that music.
Yep, the one man band has gone high tech and plays fusion jazz.
Baker is #2 behind Carmine Appice of Cactus/Vanilla Fudge (but only in his heyday—Carmine today just doesn’t get it, while Ginger Baker, as of Cream’s Royal Albert Hall reunion a few years ago, is still a powerhouse). He’s also a great world-class polo player.
Your opinion only. I’d take Perry over Morrison for most rock songs any day of the week. Morrison had a good voice, but was certainly less dynamic and flexible than Perry’s. I put Perry with Mickey Thomas and Steve Walsh of Kansas as the three best voices ever.
Who is Jeff Beck’s drummer? Not my cup of tea, but he’s freakin’ incredible. The bass player holds that band together, because the drummer is soloing constantly.
****Who is Jeff Beck’s drummer?****
He has worked with a few. Aynsley Dunbar, Mickey Waller, Tony Newman, Cozy Powell, Carmine Appice and other. I’ll bet that who you are talking about is Terry Bozzio. He is a wild man, in the vein of Keith Moon.
