Biography

There are at least three artists with this name
1. A popular American rock band
2. A British psychedelic trance producer
3. An underground rapper

Journey is an American band formed in San Francisco, California in 1973. The band has gone through several phases since its inception by former members of Santana. The band’s greatest commercial success came in the late 19 through the early 19 with a series of power ballads and songs such as “Don’t Stop Believin’”, “Any Way You Want It”, “Faithfully”, “Open Arms”, “Separate Ways”, and “Wheel in the Sky”.

Journey has been eligible for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame since 2000, but Gregg Rolie is currently the only member of Journey who has been inducted — as a member of parent band Santana. In 2009, Steve Perry, the band’s best-known lead vocalist, will be eligible for induction as a solo artist.

Formation, 1973–1976

The original members of Journey came together in San Francisco in 1973 under the auspices of former Santana manager Herbie Herbert. Originally called the Golden Gate Rhythm Section and intended to serve as a backup group for established Bay Area artists, the band included recent Santana alumni Neal Schon on lead guitar and Gregg Rolie on keyboards and lead vocals. Drummer Prairie Prince of The Tubes, bassist Ross Valory and rhythm guitarist George Tickner, both of Frumious Bandersnatch, rounded out the group. The band quickly abandoned the original “backup group” concept and developed a distinctive style. After an unsuccessful radio contest to name the group, roadie John Villaneuva suggested the name “Journey.

    Hard to believe I absolutely hated hearing the album Escape, but now think it contains some of my favorite song ever. Crazy how things change over time. "Don’t Stop Believin" and “Open Arms” .. I could listen to those all day.

    Why don't the trance producer and the rapper just call themselves The Rolling Stones? Or the Kinks? I can't stand when taken band names are reused by others… [2]

    other than Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, Journey is by far a band of the ugliest white dudes.

    70s and early 80s Journey is so good. It started going downhill with Frontier (I like some songs on that ablum tho)

    Is the Steve Perry stuff anything close to their first three albums or is it full blown sell-out material? Like Genesis.
