Thornton Melon 545 Posted October 18, 2016 As a former mobile DJ when I got a request for Journey it was either by a girl or a guy hoping to get laid by requesting it. Yup. In high school, you TOLD chicks that you were into Journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nzoner 936 Posted October 18, 2016 I play Journey because I like them. I'm more into the "easy rock" sort of music anyway. Eagles, Journey, Boston (to a degree) etc. I'm not judging anyone's tastes,music is subjective as it should be,but to call ELO and Yes sh!t music just because you don't appreciate their superior musicianship can be offensive to someone like me who loves both bands.I'm a music fanatic and try not to step on toes of music that doesn't appeal to me,just asking the same of a fellow DJ. BTW I will openly admit I do like a few Journey songs,I just wouldn't put them in my top 100 bands. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Guy 1,400 Posted October 18, 2016 Journey was great before they got lame. They were the first band I ever saw live. When did JOURNEY get lame for you? "Look Into the Future" was my 1st Journey LP, and I got to ride a great wave until "Raised On Radio" when Steve Perry fired Ross Valory (original member) in favor of Randy Jackson ( American Idol ) and drummer Steve Smith. Steve Perry was simply being a and it showed in the music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Guy 1,400 Posted October 18, 2016 I got Kraftwerk's Radioactivity in '75 for my birfday and imo it was so unique and such a departure from anything available then that I became a fan.I think the HOF should include groundbreaking music and if Kraftwerk doesn't fit that bill than no one does. I was just joking, but still not a fan of your choice I only know them by "Autobahn" and loved it, I just wouldn't put them in the Hall before Journey.

vuduchile 1,941 Posted October 18, 2016 when did they get "lame" Capture in 1981 was their last great album. Then came Escape In that same year. It is the epitome of lame. Nothing but Steve Perry sappy ballads. Everything after that was just as sh!tty. Possible exception is the intro and first verse of Don't Stop Believing. The song goes downhill quickly when they hit the chorus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vuduchile 1,941 Posted October 18, 2016 The Cars don't belong either. A unique sound and at the forefront of New Wave, but overall, still not all that great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,941 Posted October 18, 2016 There was a lot of that in the transition from 70's to 80's,most notably for me was REO Speedwagon going from great rock classics like Golden Country,Like You Do,Riding The Storm Out to...In Your Letter Yep REO and Journey made that transition around the same time. Sadly, "Keep on Loving You" and "Open Arms" define those bands moreso than "Roll With The Changes" and "Wheel in The Sky" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,941 Posted October 18, 2016 Wow, I know a lot more by these bands than I thought. I know all of those except Roll with the Changes Case in point. It was done before the Hi Infidelity album, which was the best selling sappy lame album of all time. Also, give it a rest Newbie. We all know you're an expert on sh!tty sappy music.

gocolts 300 Posted October 19, 2016 That rocked SUX. All this hate for the Cars.....they are a staple on classic radio. They should definitely get the nod. Journey and ELO as well. Maybe Jane's Addiction, they use to rock pretty good back in the day. Steppenwolf would most likely be my 5th vote, but I could be easily swayed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
