My 9 year old daughter has become a big Journey fan. She went with me to the concert last year and got meet Jeff and have him sign her Journey t-shirt. She loved the show and now she goes to sleep listening to the "Greatest Hits" CD every night. In fact, she gets upset if we try to put a different disc in.

Freak her out and replace the disc with this one:

The kids just love them monsters:

My daughter's been a Journey fan for a long while now, except she loves to listen the Perry era right along with me. She has her own cd's that she listens to on a regular basis , and when I put on one of my cd's of of Perry, no matter what she is doing, she will come listen to it with me and start singing to the music. I love spending time with my daughter that way!

My son has mostly classic rock on his Ipod, with a huge chunk of it being Journey. He teases me incessantly about my love of the band, but he knows good music when he hears it.

My daughter loves Journey so much, that she played Faithfully as her first song at her wedding to dance with her new husband.

Well,my 10 year old daughter heard Satriani when she was 3 and that was it.Until she hear Eddie playing Eruption and she dumped Satch.
That until she heard Journey.

She loves them and knows the songs by heart,especially the guitar solos which she sings along with (used to),but I'm afraid it was a bit too much...
Over-exposure to Journey/Perry.

Nowadays,if she hears a Journey song she gives me the

My boy hates Journey. He can't stand Perry's voice.

Both of our kids love Journey, the 6 year old air drums, the almost-2-year-old sang WITS the other day...the best that a toddler possibly can anyhow, lol.

SPH's youngest sang Opened the Door the other night at dinner, lol.

That's quite the opposite of my 11 year's old opinion. She has commented many times "that he sure can sing".

To this day, we still talk in our family about the Journey concert our Dad took his 3 sons who were old enough (I was the youngest at 6), to a Frontiers tour concert in St. Louis, MI. We were all Journey fans, though my Dad, more than anything, was looking to do something fun with his kids. It was a great sounding, great show, and we recall Journey playing an 'extended' set (with Steve Perry leaving the stage and the band playing an instrumental improv jam).

When we got home apparently we were all stoned due to the second hand herb smoke...We raided the kitchen...Stone in Love ...lol

Wasn't that grounds for a good stoning in Old Testament times or something like that?...

I love Perry's voice as much as anyone, but Loons fail to see that not everyone does.

My first Journey album was Infinity, loved the music, loved Gregg's voice but thought Perry was screeching. His voice had to grown on me...to the extent it did .

Same with my 17 year old daughter. She likes Journey's music and thinks Perry has a great voice, but after seeing an old picture once on the internet she thought he looked monkeyish, so now to rile me up she'll call him 'monkey boy'. LOL how dare she! Although, got a kick out of hearing her tell a friend that Jeff was Mark Walberg's (who she thinks is hawt) voice in the Rockstar movie. LOL didn't even correct her.

The only Journey song both of my boys will listen to is Lights. Although I think my teenager just badmouths them to irritate me which has become his favorite pastime of late.

I tried to do that, but my wife wouldn't go for it. We wound up with Elvis.

Hey Carol, at my daughter's wedding(not the one you met) her husband insisted on WYLAW being played as part of the ceremony, then they had Faithfully and Open Arms played at the reception.

So did we...since Rush (hubby's favorite band) doesn't really have any songs to fit that, lol

lol- I guess there were no Rush songs that he wanted to dance to, lol! He doesn't like dancing & neither do I actually, we did because we HAD to, you know, part of all that sappy wedding stuff & all, lol.

I can't get my 4 yr old to listen to anything else besides, "Oh, Sherrie" and "Captured by the Moment"! Every time we get in the car for school. I keep trying for other stuff & Journey & telling her it is still the same singer, but those are her favorite songs & that's what she wants to hear & sing to. Next week her class is singing, "God Bless America" - so cute.

My wife and I didn't dance at our wedding. It's your day. You do what you want. Screw what everyone else wants.
