My favorite song of theirs. Rollie has a pretty cool voice.

Their first 3 albums were great and never got the attention they deserved. I love their Perry albums, too, though.

Much of the blame can be laid at the feet of radio stations and their formulaic playlists. I even badgered our local "classic" rock station to play some real classic rock (i.e. early Journey), but to no avail.

People always love the early stuff when they hear it, though, and not many people have heard it..

Some of the Perry stuff is ok, but it's just been played to death.

Air Supply was my favorite in high school. Whenever I feel old I go listen to my 80s pop, preferably in a fast car with the window down. :p

I love his Gibson SG model with the Tiki man....but I’m not left-handed.

I was prepared to write off Creedence Clearwater Revisted and the New Cars but as long as Easton is involved they have credibility with me.

I think its a middle age thing. I always loved metal bands and the cars but disliked the slow stuff. Now I prefer the slower and less noisy rock and even country.

This vid will take you back.

Van Halen made journey look like a garage band.

That’s a great song.

Music is music, it shouldn’t be taken so seriously. Religion and politics should be taken seriously but songs on the radio should just be for fun. How many times have we heard of whole albums being written in a day. They’re just songs.

I've recently " discovered" Perez Prado's work. I had enjoyed his music without knowing who the genius behind it was.

On Valentines's Day, what could be better than

Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White?

QUE RICO EL MAMBO

Patricia & El Ruletero

Steve Perry has a helluva voice. I don’t see how he can put Foghat in with his corporate rock complaint, they were anything but.

i am a hard core rocker (and always have been) leaning to metal. I have a soft spot for Journey, can’t explain it and No I do not have gay tendencies.

I liked Supertramp. Saw them twice in concert, and both times the show was great. The sound was crisp and clear and damn near studio quality. Not over driven like a lot of groups who play big venues. It didn't hurt that I also had primo seats either.

"Rudy's Train" is one of my favorite tunes from them.

Any thing by Little Feat. When Lowell George was alive.

That boy could sing. Loved his stuff. "Waiting for Columbus" is an all time favorite.

You know you’re getting old when you hear your favorite songs in the nursing home.

"Old folks Boogie"...? :)

I think it captured a mood of the time, and a mood we are sensing today, that’s why it still resonates. It is just that. You don’t get your political beliefs from a song, but sometimes a song says something, and you read something into it that rings true.

Awesome mashup of "Enter Sandman" and "Don't Stop Believing":
