Frontiers is the best of all. Can't believe you did not add it.

Evolution is the cycle-breaker between Infinity and Frontiers.

I was going to mention Iron Maiden but I thought I'd go with something a little different...

I really don't think Journey was that strong of an album band to be honest. I love them for sure and they are among my top 5 favorites, but their albums were never great through and through for me... not even the much-lauded Escape. They always had a few clunkers on each album.

The sum of their work, however, is what makes me such a big fan. Their great songs are unbelievably great.

That's why their best selling album by far is their greatest hits.

Excellent choice ! I was there for the "Beat the system " tour, it was awesome. Greg x Volz is a great vocalist,
and bob hartmans lyrics are inspiring and inspirational......

I prefer the era with John Schlitt better but I love the stuff before that as well. Actually, "Beat the System" is probably the worst album in their catalog, in my opinion, but there's still some pretty good stuff even on that one.

Well "more power to ya" Was life changing for me, In the band I was in "Road to zion" Was a standard.
Beat the system def. was not the best album, but the tour was great!

Wha? I have serious love for quite a few songs on that album and Neal is at his tasteful, melodic/shred best. Lovin You is Easy, Just the Same Way are classic Journey. I could listen to the solo in Sweet & Simple all day long (Dan, you don't need to chime in here).

With that attitude, you're missing out on some good music, especially from bands like Petra, Guardian, White Heart, Whitecross, etc.

I don't mind Guardian...I don't particularly like the in your face messages that christian rock preaches....but again, I will say that Kansas was a semi-christian band - well, as long as Livgren was writinig the lyrics....and I love me some Kansas....
