Journey, or "How a critically-loathed pop rock group is now considered classic."

I love Journey and own all the late 70s-mid 80s cds.Been on the fence as to whether i should get the recent cds.

'Revelation' is worth getting, I donot know about 'Eclipse' (I think that is what its called) since I do not own it

Thanks Manny

I think Eclipse is well worth it, most guitar oriented album they've done imo.

As stated earlier, I am not so much a fan of Journey. However, I do enjoy Hardline and Bad English which are Journey spin-offs.

Can't wait for the new Hardline which I will order next week. Despite what PRD said, I am keeping a spending freeze on CDs. Though yesterday I was tempted to get the new Prong and Dragonforce CDs (but I resisted).

I also like The Storm (from two former Journey members).

I like Journey but I only own Greatest Hits 1 and 2. That's probably enough for me. I do think Neal Schon is a phenomenal guitarist. Check out how he just owns the majority of Stone In Love:

The solo in "Stone In Love" is easily my favorite solo by Schon, and due to the solo, is probably my favorite Journey song of all time. The solo is also my main ring tone for my phone. Great song!!!

Nice Dixie Dregs type thing going one with the intro riff. I like how this song straddles the world of fusion and rock.



Greg Rollie just JAMS!!!!!!

I have never heard the Storm, I will have to check it out. I love the first Hardline album, But the second one I cold not get into, ergo, I am hesitant to buy the third. I do want to hear it tho.

Yeah, the second one seemed like them trying to 'update' their sound. However, the third one was a great slab of melodic hard rock and gives me hope for the new one.

Nice! I will check it out then. Any songs you recommend starting with?

Here are some samples of The Storm:






The second album is a little pricey but is still some good AOR/MHR:






Some songs from the third Hardline:
