The track, by US soft rock band Journey was first released in 1981.

Nearly 30 years later, downloads of the original song stand at about three million while, according to Journey founder Neal Schon, sales of the version made by the stars of TV series Glee have hit the one billion mark.

"Don't Stop Believin' has just turned out to be a beast, something that we never imagined would happen, and it just keeps going," Schon told BBC News.

Yeah, the only thing that would have made it more realistic is having Beeker street playing on the radio.

I am a Gleek (hate the writing, love most of the musical numbers). Love the Journey trio from last year’s finale:

What is this new Glee stuff. A new band?

Na, he just moves back to the parents basement with his drums.

Maybe some Hank Mobley will be more to your liking...

Is that actually a different song from the first you linked to? They sound identical to me. Maybe I need to hear one right after the other to compare.

I saw REO headline over the summer and thought they put on a pretty damn good show.

Speaking of putting a song with something else, I can never listen to a Rush song without thinking of this:

Hank Mobley is one of the best Jazz saxophonists ever. Very different from Yezda Urfa.

I was concerned a little at first of the criticisms of Journey, Foreigner, Asia and REO until I heard what some of them consider quality music! :)

Sorry, my copy and paste didn’t take last time. It used the one in cache. Here is the correct link.

Not quite the same. There is a richness that you get from an LP that you don't get from a digitized recording. Who knows, maybe it is the compression algorithm. Lower sample rate songs are noticeable. I am especially sensitive to it for some reason.

Unfortunately, that is the digital world we live in.

Digital cameras are analogous.

Speaking of Rush, did you see this, they showed this at their concerts:

Lol! You know what happened: you messed up on the link and reposted the same one as earlier.

He’s good but I like Paul Rodgers from Bad Company better.

Glee is a TV show about a glee club in a midwestern (Ohio, I think) state. The performers are awesome, the writing SUCKS, and there are many Broadway stars who are series regulars or guest stars. I don't miss an episode.

Thanks. However, I'm not much at all into jazz. Only a few forms I can listen to. This particular one you linked to I don't care for.

That was cool.

Holy @@@@! That’s exactly who I think he looks like, too! That kid look likes he walked out of a time warp.
