Journey rocks (rocked)! There's no substitute for Steve Perry (or Steve Smith, IMO). I finally picked up the Greatest Hits DVD...those were the days.
Good, but a little too formulaic for me, kinda like REO Speedwagon.
Back when I listened to that EEEEEEVVVVVVVIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLL Popular Music I liked everything from Van Halen to Barry Manilow. I had phases where Styx, Supertramp, Rick Wakeman, Renaissance, and Chuck Mangione were the ones I was collecting.
I *really* don't hear anything current I like. Most of the men are just whiny and the women - well, Pat Benetar and Ann and Nancy Wilson made a good run at being rockers but they just don't seem to get it somehow.
"Sweet Home Alabama" and "Bang The Drum" can still get my car dancing every time they play.
And if anyone wonders what ever happened to John Schlitt of Head East fame, he is singing Christian Rock with Petra (or was last time I checked).
Shalom.
