I'm not saying they were poets, but ROR is simply a succession of SONG TITLES disguised as "lyrics". It's the most half-assed thing they ever wrote.

I think Girl Can't Help It has some of the best Journey harmonies EVER. That's a classic as is BGTY.

Yeah, the chorus of Perry's was in perfect harmony.

It was written as a tribute to songs they (or probably more Perry) grew up with. I think it's a very cool song. Always liked it.

Well, he may have sang all the parts, but someone had to figure em out! Those are arranged great.
I'd rather hear that than "Any Way You Want It'. To me THAT song is the epitomy of a lazily written tune. Same riff all the way through the tune. (Great harmonies though). When AWYW comes on, I hit the skip.

Speaking of Girl Can't Help It, did they ever do that live after Perry left?

NO DOUBT! That live version of it from Philly was awesome.

The way it should have been done to start with, Deen on bgv didn't hurt ya know.
As for AWYWI, maybe its been played to death, but that same riff all the way through is one of the great riffs ever in all of RnR.
