Hey Jude by The Beatles

But only if Linda is doing backup vocals.

Just like John’s Sunday, Bloody Sunday is only good if Yoko is screeching out backup vocals.

This video is probably when they realized some men had low testosterone and started supplementation efforts.

Steve Smith is one of the best jazz drummers on the scene. He made a LOT of "FU money" playing with Journey, so he's been able to do a lot of his own projects, mainly Vital Information.

In fact, WAY back in college, I did a couple of Vital Information arrangements for our combo. Here's one, the original, not my arrangement:
Looks Bad, Feels Good

And here's something I bet none of y'all have heard before: Steve Smith & Vital Information: “Don’t Stop Believin’” from the NEW PERSPECTIVE Album (2025)

Yeah, Air Supply’s IAOOL sold close 18M copies. Or is that 1800? While I recognize posts like this will bring out the Journey haters, there are not too many bands in the 70’s and 80’s that matched their success. Within the R & R world very few singers have matched Perry’s accolades and Schon is clearly one of top 10 guitarists of all time. It was, by most musical experts, a very good band.

"Is there anything more subjective than music people like?"

I'm glad someone made that point. To declare one song as the best song of all time is as asinine as those "sexiest man in the world" declarations. There are different kinds of music for different moods and different occasions. Also, people have varying tastes

Calm down.

I’m not a Journey hater.

I’m an Air Supply hater.

And I have a sense of humor.

Ya, sure. Why not? Its better than most of what came out of the overhyped acts of that era.

Anything by Tay-Tay (Taylor Swift) is the best.

Greatest rock song ever is Jumpin Jack Flash. Followed by Paint It Black, in spite of its tragedy, and after that... I dunno, let’s say Layla. Or Hey Jude.

Journey was overrated in general IMHO, although Don’t Stop was an excellent choice for The Sopranos to meet their fate at the hands of the Members Only guy double teaming with the Carhartt guy.

It didn’t turn out too well for Tony soprano listening tolistening to it :)

Other than that. Of course, it is a great song and anyone who doesn’t like it just soesnt have a heart or hope.

“Let it Be” is much, MUCH better than “Hey Jude” - the latter drones on and on and on and on and on and on and...

Getting on The Sopranos finale gave that song very long legs.
