They were better with Gregg Rolie as the singer.
It still blows me away that Neil Schon played with Santana when he was 17.
Have you seen the Journey Through Time out takes with Greg Rolie from a couple of years ago? I would say they are pretty awesome, especially with the drummer Dean Castronovo (sp?) singing the Steve Perry parts.

I will always hate them now. If I can borrow a phrase from today’s lingo, I’m “triggered” when I hear Journey, especially “Don’t stop believing”. Ugh.
I have my reasons, and they are legit. Anyone who has ever heard my story understands why I hate them with a passion.
