After discovering Faithfully one day years ago and searching to find the name of the band...I finally discovered who they were and have become a Journey fan since then. I can listen to this CD just about anytime of the day or anywhere and still never tire of it.

Pros Lyrics are easy to understand, and the singer is awesome

Cons NONE

Recommended it? Yes

Where have the 80's music bands gone? There were so many awesome bands in the 80's and now we don't hear about them that often. Yes we have Aero Smith, U-2 and Bon Jovie, and even Sting, but what ever happened to the groups like Journey, Foreigner ZZ Top and Def Leppard?

Growing up in the 80's I listened to a lot of music on the radio, but wasn't allowed to purchase tapes or records. Now I have an obsession to continuously update my cd collection.

Journey's Greatest Hits: Sour Bull Semen Is Easier to Swallow

Pros Perry's voice is decent, if over-rated

Cons the songs are overwrought, boring, and all follow a simple formula that gets old fast

Recommended it? No

Disclaimer:I'd like it to be known that I've never actually tasted (or swallowed) soul bull semen, but I imagine it would be easier to swallow than Journey.

Throughout rock's history, there has been a bevy of artists who have sold millions of records while more deserving bands get left... Read full review »

Pros Lots of great hits from Journey

Cons Not enough songs!

Recommended it? No

This is not the first Journey review I have done, simply because I find them to be a very good band with exceptional members. The first review that I happened to publish on this band was their Trial By Fire CD. This, as well as THAT CD were very enjoyable to listen to.

Pros Has most of their big hits

Cons A few monotonous tracks

Recommended it? Yes

The rock band Journey has been loved by millions of fans and reviled by rock critics for playing what they called "radio-ready, commercial rock." I fell somewhere between these two extremes. Some of their songs I have enjoyed a lot, while others were bland and tedious.

Journey - Greatest Hits

Like other successful bands of the 1970s and 1980s, Journey's sound was built on the double threat of singer Steve Perry's upper-register vocals and guitarist Neal Schon's melodic solos. The band also used rich harmonies to embellish their hard edge. Greatest Hits shows that Journey knew how to craft a pop song with memorable tunes like "Anyway You Want It" and "Don't Stop Believin'." "Wheel in the Sky" was one of the band's more arty singles, while "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" relied on a straight four-bar blues pattern, with Perry's vocals at their best. The band's power ballads gave them their biggest success, and are rightfully represented here: "Faithfully," "Open Arms," and "Send Her My Love." Another unlikely aspect further secured the band's success--you could actually dance to some of their stuff, especially "Anyway You Want It." --Steve Gdula
