This really is the greatest song of all time.

Never get tired of hearing it after these 40+ years (it originally was released on the "Escape" album by Journey in 1981).

I remember when I first heard it, I was in the Marine Corps, stationed at 29 Palms, CA and running my laundry in the Quonset hut barracks. It was about 120 degrees outside and at least 90 degrees inside, with the swamp coolers going full force. The Police were also big at that time and we were listening to their Zenyatta Mondatta album. Then somebody threw in that Journey cassette and pretty much every song on that album was magic. But "Don't Stop Believing", I knew that was going to be one of the greatest songs ever.

It's a very good tune, but not my favorite Journey song. The film Vision Quest became something of a cult film for those of on wrestling teams in the mid-80s, so when I think of Journey I first think of, "Only The Young," which, IMHO is slightly better than "Don't Stop."
