Pre-Frontiers Journey was always good for a rock song or two especially the years with Gregg Rolie.

But as for "corporate New Wave" like The Cars, The Police and U2, forget about it.

I am Dave Edmunds #1 fan but have plenty of time for the Cars et al. Much of today's power pop can trace its roots back to Ric Ocasek & co. (small wonder as he's producing these bands).

Oh man, the Cars are great. I’ve heard their songs a million times but unlike Journey I’ve never gotten tired of them. A big part of their success was having a great guitar player (whose name I can’t remember). Same with the Police.

I agree. Ric Ocasek was pure genius. “Candy-O” is probably the Cars most perfect album, but I like all of them, even “Door to Door”.

Got to see Dave here in the Midwest with the Ringo All-Star Band ...one of my favorite guitar players and plays on one of the best albums of all time “Seconds Of Pleasure” with Rockpile...magritte

This is the real Journey:

This stays in my mp3 player!

It was this album that I found out you could actually wear out a CD.
