JOURNEY / 'GREATEST HITS' COMPILATION (1988)
From their jazz-prog beginnings featuring two ex-Santana members (guitarist Neal Schon and singer and keyboardist, Gregg Rollie), on through their arena rock hey day, led by the powerful vocals of Steve Perry, Journey has remained infinitely popular throughout their career. The group's earliest musical origins featured an elaborate mix of rock and progressive fusion, but it wasn't until they later shifted in a more commercial direction that they began their long, slow climb to superstardom. Though they were often critically derided, Journey's best work boasted a level of instrumental and vocal ability far beyond that of most of their peers and covered a wide array of styles. Their catalog glitters with unforgettable anthems, which not only contain massive choruses, but also the sort of musicianship you might expect from a band who began life as jazz rock instrumentalists before embracing the melodic rock style for which they’re renowned.
