Hey all,
My name is Jeff and I'm new to the forums, and just first off, I have to say what a great website this is. This website is literally a gem on the internet for a guy like me, so I just wanted to say thank you Andrew and anyone else who made this possible! Second of all, I figured I'd introduce myself by starting a topic. Hopefully this topic wasn't covered already...

So with the recent release of Greatest Hits Volume 2, although it is a great compilation of great Journey songs, I was kind of disappointed that no Post-Perry material was included. Now, I know that Sony doesn't have the rights to anything after Arrival, but I would have figured that they include some songs off of Arrival. I mean, what a great record! Anyway, I was curious to know, hypothetically, what you all think would be a good tracklist if a Post-Perry Journey Greatest Hits record ever came out. I probably wouldn't include more than 16 songs. Here is my opinion:

1. Remember Me
2. Higher Place
3. All the Way
4. Signs of Life
5. World Gone Wild
6. With Your Love
7. I Got A Reason
8. Faith in the Heartland (Augeri)
9. The Place in Your Heart (Pineda)
10. Never Walk Away
11. After All These Years
12. Turn Down the World Tonight
13. City of Hope
14. Anything is Possible
15. Edge of the Moment
16. Resonate

I like the idea, Jeff and welcome. If I had one song I would add to your GH3, it would be Chain Of Love. I love that song.

Forgive Stevo he is what we call .... well how do we put this....SPECIAL.

Welcome Jeff.

A greatest hits compilation would imply the songs were hits. And though I like all your selections, I don't think any of them qualify as such.
Songs from Arrival could have been, if Sony had given that record a fighting chance.

City Of Hope
Higher Place
Change For The Better
With Your Love
Place In Your Heart
Resonate
Signs Of Life
Faith In The Heartland
Turn Down The World Tonight
Remember Me
Kiss Me Softly
Live And Breathe
A Better Life
Never Walk Away

I agree. There will only be one...ever.

Maybe only one Dean, but he would want us to have fun and keep on trucking on. I think we just have to be ourselves and keep his antics close to our hearts.

Or maybe, close to the toilet.

hard to do a greatest hits when none of them (with the exception of minor hit AATY) were hits...

Thank you sir! Welcome aboard.

The only one that caught my attention was "Higher Place" and that was because it got some radio play at the time. I knew it was Journey right away as I thought that Augeri had a bit of the Perry sound at the time.

With GH2 having pretty low sales and not really making an impact on the catalog albums chart, i dont see anymore GH compilations being released. Essential Journey is still outselling GH2 in terms of weekly sales.

Any GH set post Perry would likely not be supported at all by Sony or another label since Perry wasn't involved. I think the only reason the other GH sets have seen the light of day is because Sony and Perry still have a good working relationship.

The low sales for GH2 at last clarifies Journey's situation: the masses don't want to hear anything beyond the Dirty Dozen, and that includes other Perry-era cuts.
So much for the idea that the disinterest extends only to new!Journey.

Essential Journey still sells ...I love mine!!

I was going to mention this earlier, but I realized I did not know it
for a fact. I know nothing about these era's except that I love Arrival...
some of those songs should've been hits!!

True, and you have to remember too, Journey already basically has a greatest hits 1 and 2=Essential Journey.
