Underrated Journey Songs That Are Sadly Overlooked......

1.natural thing-this one was one that most probably really didn't know unless someone was a diehard fan or had the '45 don't stop with it on the b-side or maybe the time box set.one of the best songs i've known about from the beginning because it always puzzled my mother that while she wore out don't stop believen well i wore out the opposite side of the record.she never could figure out why i loved natural thing more than don't stop but i guess she played don't stop until i was wanting to hide the record,lol.then when i bought the time box 3 the day it was released of course well i played the damn song to death to where i don't play it as much as i used to.

2.dixie highway-i have always loved this song and wondered why they don't play it live because its a great song with a lot of energy.one of the best songs on captured.

3.people and places-i think this song is one of the most underrated ones on the departure album.

4.sweet and simple-i've often wondered if they ever played this live.its the best song on evolution to me.

5.still they ride-i think this one gets overlooked sometimes because there were so many great songs on the album this came from.

6.rubicon-i think this is one of the heaviest songs the band had and it closes out the frontiers album on a rocking note.

7.happy to give-to me this is the best song on raised on radio period.could've been a huge hit.

8.patiently-the one off infinity that often gets overlooked.

there you have it one song from each album in the 1978-1986 era.

Winds Of March
Patiently
Still They Ride
Still She Cries

winds of march and mother father are two more i think are great and overlooked.

Liberty

ONE MORE
OF A LIFETIME
KOHOUTEK
LOOK INTO THE FUTURE
IN MY LONELY FEELING/CONVERSATIONS
Precious Time
Daydream
Sweet and Simple

Still She Cries
Out of Harms Way
Next

Sweet and Simple

Nickel & Dime
Of a Lifetime
Kohoutek
Look Into The Future
Signs of Life
Beyond the Clouds
Livin' To Do
Troubled Child
If He Should Break Your Heart
Forever In Blue
Trial by Fire


I'm pretty reluctant to say that songs like Mother, Father, Still They Ride, and Patiently are "overlooked" songs in the sense that they've been on The Essential Journey comp and have been played live at least here and there... I do agree they aren't mentioned as much and that they are definitely great songs, but still... just my view

Sweet an simple
STILL SHE CRIES!!!!!!!!!! ( and most of TBF album)

1. Lovin' You Is Easy
2. Winds Of March
3. Stay Awhile
4. Edge Of The Blade
5. It Could Of Been You
6. Can't Tame The Lion

Oh *hit...I forgot Sweet And Simple...how could I forget this overlooked classic?!

I played it to death, as well, LOL! ...But there was a time when this tune was my favourite JRNY tune ever.

3.people and places-i think this song is one of the most underrated ones on the departure album.

Absolutely

4.sweet and simple-i've often wondered if they ever played this live.its the best song on evolution to me.

Well... it's getting serious, here.

This IS, WAS and WILL BE the BEST JOURNEY SONG EVER!!! Period.

And BTW: another forgotten tune is "Something to hide", which is probably the greatest thing they did after "Sweet and simple"

Something to Hide, It's just the Rain, and Still She Cries, in that order.

Gotta second your pick of "Of a Lifetime, and add "Kiss Me Softly". Journey tried for a more contemporary sound on that one, so I give 'em credit for trying. It's a good tune.

I have played ALL the songs from Infinity-TBF to death. 2 songs not in the original released albums that I really like are Liberty and Natural Thing.

Hi Larry! I am a fan of EVERYthing SP ever did . I came across OS on the Tron soundtrack and immediately liked it. But, later, when I got a hold of the Time3 cds and heard Liberty & NT, I had goosebumps listening to SP sing those 2 songs.

Its just the rain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48N55E6Zoxw

1. TOO LATE (Especially the Live cut off of Captured)
2. STILL SHE CRIES
3. RUBICON
4. PEOPLE AND PLACES
5 . PATIENTLY
6. OF A LIFETIME
7. EDGE OF THE BLADE

You're a mind reader! If I made a list of the same, it would exactly mirror this one.

It's Just the Rain is probably one of my favorite Journey songs. It's just beautiful!!

Then I would add:

Kiss Me Softly
Do You Recall
Lovin You is Easy
Patiently

Someday Soon
People and Places
DAYDREAM
When You're Alone it ain't Easy
Do You Recall
Just the same way

HELL, the WHOLE Evolution album.

I agree with this one of my fav Journey cds.. there was a clip of JSS doing a part of Daydream a year or so ago it was great I will see if I can find ir

The Party's Over (Hopelessly In Love) - I love the guitar riff on this one.
