i liked steve, but the early stuff is tight, arnel sucks, the new journey is like kindel it s not rock, it s not reading, its a cheap thrill, a quick fix
Why does Gregg have to be "better" than Steve or Arnel? Why can't they all be just what they are with a terrific band that gave us three terrific singers?
Yes I agree, Rolie's vocals were better, I have no Idea why they went with Steve Perry cause they were much better without him, maybe it was for the commercial stardom that they were after???
I had the first two Journey albums. Awesome music! Definitely Greg Rolie's vocals were far superior to the later stuff. I just didn't buy any more of their albums.
@TheJVRMAN Greg Rolie was the best rock vocalist of the '70's, bar none. Santana lost a major contributor when he left. Replacing him with that whiny-voiced cocksucker Steve Perry was about the most disgusting commercialization of rock&roll of the entire "70's.
@NORSKize Steve Perry took what was a great band and reduced them to bubblegum pop, of the "OK kiddies, let's boogie!" variety. What a waste of a talented and innovative band.
Johnny it doesent hafto be your opinion its actually a fact in terms of creativity and songwriting and song craft the first 2 Journey albums are excellent especially the 1975 debut. It is nice to see someone who has good taste.
If someone were ever to ask you what is the best song Journey did. The correct answer is this song. Try and find me a better one you wont be able to, that Steve Perry commerical stuff does not touch this.

@TheBeaugraham I couldn't have said it better myself, Journey was actually a damn good rock n roll band prior to Steve Perry, I'm not saying Steve has a bad voice but they went way off into the commercial direction that made them sound too darn pop-ish, sorry Steve but Journey was way better before you entered the band and thats just MY opinion.
@JohnnyHardRock1960 But I do give Steve credit for his vocals. A Perry-fronted prog-era Journey would probably be more or less as good, if not better than with Rolle singing. The dude's got a ton of range.
@Delivered0ne Topaz is a great instrumental but it isnt as moving as Look Into The Future. I only own one Journey Cd and it is their 1975 debut, consistantsy wise it is their best album.
My very first album, so young. I have forever since been a guitar girl...

Wonderful.
This could almost have been mistaken for a Robin Trower Song.
Yes, a cut from Robin's album 'Bridge of Sighs' perhaps.

J'ai l'impression que c'est la meilleure prestation de Neil Schon. Quelle finale! Franchement Supérieur. Un classique

The first 2 albums sounded like a different band. So much better than the catchy bubblegum, built for little kids sound.

@TheBeaugraham Thumbs up! - However I would challenge that statement by directing you to their first album's song 'Topaz'.
Nothing touches that in my sincerely arrogant estimation...
