Journey - self titled (1975)

This is the album that led me away from Yes and

from under the bed, and in my hands for mo

A fantastic album DB. 'Kahoutek has some of the greatest guitar and keyboard sparring you will ever hear. Brilliant. The next two albums 'Look Into The Future' and 'Next' are real good too.

I like their first album. Neal Schon is a beast on the guitar. But I like the Steve Perry era of Journey the best.

Excellent first 3 albums then awful Steve Perry came in , provoking Ainsley Dunbar's (an unsung drumming hero comming from Zappa's band ) departure and them Greg Rollie (ex-Santana).

Only Neil Schon (also ex-Santana) stayed from the original. <

Didn't the great Steve Smith end up in Journey, having first played drums on JL Ponty's Enigmatic Ocean. Unlike the backward step Darryl Stuermer made from that album,

I'm the opposite to most here. For my money, Steve Perry has one of the finest voices in all of rock. I actually much preferred Journey when they moved away from the unstructured jazz noodlings of their early albums to the high quality melodic rock

They're such completely different bands...I had my fun with Journey (v.2) just like I did with REO, J. Geils, Boston, Nugent, Aerosmith, et cetera, but the original band was so outstanding that it's hard not to mourn what could have been.
