You're all supposed to be diehard new wave loyalists abut nobody ever mentions "The Party's Over"! ("Maybe because it's crap?" Shut up you)

dave q, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Actually this is a shameless bid for publicity, anyone who shows up at the next Brazen Hussies disaster (27/6 12 Bar Club) might be treated to a version of "Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'". Or maybe not as I'll probably forget to do it but we're recording a version of it soon anyhow

dave q, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Wheel in the Sky" - because I'm sure no one else will pick it.

paul, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Separate Ways" if only for the video.

gygax! (i forgot my blog password), Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I get to cast the first vote for "Don't Stop Believin'".

I think these guys are in danger of becoming way overrated on this board.

"ask the lonely"

but this question is really really difficult to answer.

jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 7 January 2003 19:45 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm changing my vote to "Escape". It's just . . . perfect, especially the middle.

sundar subramanian (sundar), Wednesday, 8 January 2003 02:09 (twenty-three years ago)

(np: Escape - "Mother, Father"

sundar subramanian (sundar), Wednesday, 8 January 2003 02:09 (twenty-three years ago)

SEPARATE WAYS! IT'S THE BEST SONG EVER!

Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 8 January 2003 03:55 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't think I know that one. I'm sure it's great though. ("Mother, Father" is still in my head.)

sundar subramanian (sundar), Wednesday, 8 January 2003 03:59 (twenty-three years ago)

They're the pits. I admit my love for a lot of AOR rock that doesn't exactly earn you hip cred, but Journey, and especially their vocalist, was the pits.

Blech.

You know I was talking to ilxor Colonel Poo, recently, this very cool Britisher dude who happened to marry an American lady and he said "yeah, Journey's Don't Stop Believing is such a big thing for Americans" or some such thing like that and I was like a lightbulb went on over my head "YEAH!" cause I'd never really thought about the fact that Journey never made it in the UK, but he was totally right.

And on the Britisher side, he was talking about The Sweet "Blockbuster" and Slade, we talked about Slade, too.

Wheel in the Sky already being taken, I will pick "Feelin That Way"

jagged-electronically mäandernden underbody (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 6 April 2009 16:09 (seventeen years ago)

How could I not have known "Separate Ways" in 2003?! That's probably the best...

Sundar, Monday, 6 April 2009 16:15 (seventeen years ago)

after a night of heavy drinking me and my friend woke up early in the morning and was watching some Journey doc on VH1 Classic...loads of concert clips from the 70s and in every one Steve Perry was wearing women's clothing...i swear to god every song he wore a more extravagant & outlandish blouse...the peak, towards the end, was the red polka-dotted kimono he wore (he might have been singing Faithfully???)...now Steve Perry's House of Blouse is a classic in-joke for us...

jagged-electronically mäandernden underbody (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 6 April 2009 16:23 (seventeen years ago)

Okay don't do this to me or I might have to go rent that VH1 thing. Are you playing with me or are you serious?

Earl of Gothington Manor (Bimble), Monday, 6 April 2009 16:28 (seventeen years ago)

LOL yeah but dont do anything extreme yet...let me search Youtube first...

jagged-electronically mäandernden underbody (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 6 April 2009 16:31 (seventeen years ago)

alright i might have been wrong dude...we were both really drunk the night before...

LOL yeah but dont do anything extreme yet...let me search Youtube first...

Well you needn't worry...you see the cops towed my car...so going on the bus to the video store is very unpalatable to me cause it's a long way away. So I decided I needed to see this shit on the internet, or bust. I did find one site...it's loading now.

Earl of Gothington Manor (Bimble), Monday, 6 April 2009 16:41 (seventeen years ago)

yeah that stone in love leopard print vest was one of them though, I remember... looks like something some girl in a Motley Crue video would wear, prhaps?

jagged-electronically mäandernden underbody (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 6 April 2009 16:42 (seventeen years ago)

wtf is that coda on Stone In Love vid? ANSWERS PLEASE

Matt #2, Monday, 6 April 2009 18:36 (seventeen years ago)

This has GOT to be one of the Journey clips you're thinking of.

OK, fine, yes, I Goggled it (Pancakes Hackman), Monday, 6 April 2009 18:49 (seventeen years ago)

Okay watching the VH1 Behind The Music thing, now thanking u ilxors. I have too many threads to catch up on right now, but I'm trying to take one thing at a time.

To Float Away On A Lifelong Song (Bimble), Monday, 6 April 2009 20:21 (seventeen years ago)

God, this is fun. I wish they'd talk some more about their earlier years, though.

See, I can take Journey & early Stevie Nicks to bed, and be happy and go to sleep happy. Christopher Cross, too.

I guess I'm embarassed about American music in some respects, but I'd gladly take these three and be happy.

To Float Away On A Lifelong Song (Bimble), Monday, 6 April 2009 20:33 (seventeen years ago)

I know I said this before, but all I wanted was for one Britisher like Colonel Poo to say "yeah, Journey's Don't Stop Believing is a big thing for Americans". And like, that's all I needed to hear. Bimble will be quiet now.

To Float Away On A Lifelong Song (Bimble), Monday, 6 April 2009 20:41 (seventeen years ago)

I never knew that Journey were/are completely unknown in the UK. www.everyhit.com brings up only three charting albums, and no singles at all. Weird.

Mr. Snrub, Tuesday, 7 April 2009 01:59 (seventeen years ago)

most of my fave Journey cuts have that keyboard guy duetting with S. Perry...

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 15 November 2009 22:20 (sixteen years ago)

^^^^^ just pulled out the vinyl copy of that last week, underrated

& other try hard shitfests (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Sunday, 15 November 2009 22:21 (sixteen years ago)

Yes! The singles -- Girl Can't Help It; Be Good To Yourself; I'll Be Alright Without You; and Suzanne -- are near-perfect, cavernous 80s pop/rock anthems.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 15 November 2009 23:33 (sixteen years ago)

"Lovin Touchin Squeein" for me.

Trip Maker, Sunday, 15 November 2009 23:37 (sixteen years ago)

lol squee-ing

Trip Maker, Sunday, 15 November 2009 23:37 (sixteen years ago)

One song? I have a leftfield choice: After The Fall.

why didn't they ever make a decent album? such a singles band.

Οὖτις, Friday, 4 September 2015 20:59 (ten years ago)

I feel like karaoke nights have ruined "Don't Stop" and "SEparate Ways" for me....

currently I think "Who's Crying Now?" gets the nod due to its melancholy piano line. it actually reminds me of being like 5 years old in the back of my mother's station wagon hearing that song and feelin' the vibe Steve and co were throwing out there even if I didn't understand why.

Hammer Smashed Bagels, Friday, 4 September 2015 21:42 (ten years ago)

1ST ALBUM

brimstead, Friday, 4 September 2015 21:44 (ten years ago)

it's basically a prog-lite santana album w/o carlos

brimstead, Friday, 4 September 2015 21:45 (ten years ago)

and w/aynsley dunbar

brimstead, Friday, 4 September 2015 21:45 (ten years ago)

never heard the fusion-y stuff. it is a factoid I liked to pull out tho when everybody whined about how Perry's replacement wasn't as good as the "original" Journey vocalist

Hammer Smashed Bagels, Friday, 4 September 2015 21:51 (ten years ago)

stone

mookieproof, Saturday, 5 September 2015 00:02 (ten years ago)

i have the backtrack a little re: the santana vibe, though. journey loses the latin percussion and composition style. it retains the soaring epic majestic side of santana though.

How did I never know about this soundtrack album they did for a Japanese film? It came out between Departure and Escape.

seeing as Neal Schon was apparently one of Prince's big influences can someone recommend a great solo of his?

Stone in Love

timellison, Sunday, 18 February 2024 22:42 (two years ago)

"Separate Ways" is a stone jam.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Monday, 19 February 2024 15:55 (two years ago)

Separate Ways and Stone in Love are the 'guy' songs, written specifically for the dudes to rock out to at the Anaheim Fairgrounds or wherever between the weepy ballads their girlfriends like.
