The riff at the start of Cheyenne by Eyes (JSS) is one of my favourites. Couldn't find a clip for it but I found this instead.

Cute or what?

I love the last 1/3 of "Just The Same Way". Neal's guitar solo in that last 60 seconds or so sounds perfect to me. My all time favorite Journey song.

IMO, the greatest solo ever recorded in the power ballad genre. Lights-out, awe-inspiring, incredible.
