I must admit I hadn't heard of Journey until there was a song by them in a recent Family Guy episode, and even then I didn't recognise it (I didn't even know whether Journey was the song or the artists).

I looked at last years top 2000 voted for by the Dutch audience and Journey didn't appear once (to compare: the Beatles had 45 entries, Queen had 24, Supertramp had 8). It seems like Journey never really made it over here.

If you don't like it complain to L007; it was his suggestion :P

Yay for Journey! Tons of great songs by these guys! And they came to NYC exactly two days after I left for St. Louis! That really pissed me off! And I put a lot of exclamation points in this post!

Yes, complain to me. I'm such a jerk for liking Journey.

I would think Journey is more American than British-known. The Escape tour in Houston was loaded with screaming fangirls (God, I hate all of that screaming when Perry says something about Houston in the CD. >_<). Still, the classics such as Wheel in the Sky, Who's Cryin' Now (Or whatever it is, I forgot), and of course, Don't Stop Believin' are awesome.

And I still can't believe there apparently is a movie or something about how Steve Perry fights off zombies and dukes it out with their master, Freddie Mercury. o_o

Contray to popular belief, I'm not British. But I guess you meant European when you said British.

**L007 is Undecided** · 03-07-2006, 07:45 PM

British, European, they're the same.

Journey has the power both for great good ("Don't Stop Believin'") or great evil ("Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'").

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Journey was one of the best bands of its time. But I'm not a big fan of them. Of Course they had some good stuff. But nothing that interests me
