Journey rocks (rocked)!

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.

Yes, John Schlitt is still with Petra, they aren't as active as they once were.

I am a Petra Fan. Very good rock!

Heart is my #1 or #2 band (ducking for cover). "Barracuda" just rocks. Have you heard their new CD "Jupiter's Darling?" It's pretty good. They've gone back to their 70s roots, thank goodness.
