Journey Albums

This Complete List Of Journey Albums And Songs presents the full discography of Journey studio albums. The band Journey was first formed in 1973.  The group Journey hails from the area of San Francisco, California. This complete Journey discography also includes every single Journey live album. All these spectacular Journey albums have been presented below in chronological order. We have also included all original release dates with each Journey album as well as all original Journey album covers. Every Journey album listed below showcases the entire album tracklisting.

JOURNEY STUDIO ALBUMS

Released: April 1, 1975

Journey’s self-titled debut album was released in April 1975 and was the band’s first outing into the musical world. At the time, Journey was yet to adopt the arena rock sound that they would later become famous for. Instead, the album exhibited strong influences of jazz fusion and progressive rock, with extensive instrumental solos and complex musical arrangements.

Notable tracks include “Of a Lifetime” and “Mystery Mountain,” which offered a glimpse into the technical proficiency and artistic aspirations of the band. Though the album didn’t achieve significant commercial success, it laid the groundwork for what the band could accomplish. The album featured Neal Schon on guitars, Ross Valory on bass, Gregg Rolie on keyboards and vocals, Aynsley Dunbar on drums, and George Tickner on rhythm guitar. It was produced by Roy Halee and recorded at CBS Studios in San Francisco in late 1974. .

CD Track Listings:

  • “Of a Lifetime” – 6:48
  • “In the Morning Day” – 4:23
  • “Kohoutek” – 6:40
  • “To Play Some Music” – 3:16
  • “Topaz” – 6:09
  • “In My Lonely Feeling / Conversations” – 4:56
  • “Mystery Mountain” – 4:25

Look into the Future

Released: January 1976

Released just a year after their debut, “Look into the Future” was Journey’s second studio album. The band continued in a similar vein, leaning heavily towards progressive rock with intricate instrumental arrangements. The title track and “On a Saturday Nite” are often cited as highlights. However, the album failed to bring substantial commercial success, although it was a step forward in terms of songwriting and complexity. Neal Schon on guitars, Ross Valory on bass, and Gregg Rolie on keyboards and vocals returned for this album, with Aynsley Dunbar continuing to provide the drum work. The album was produced by Glen Kolotkin and was recorded at CBS Studios in San Francisco during late 1975.

  • “Look into the Future” – 8:08
  • “On a Saturday Nite” – 4:02
  • “It’s All Too Much” – 4:03

Released: February 1977

“Next,” Journey’s third studio album, represents the end of an era for the band in terms of their experimentation with progressive rock and jazz fusion. Songs like “Spaceman” and “Hustler” continue to echo their earlier styles but also hint at the more commercial sound the band would later adopt. While not commercially successful upon its release, it gained some retrospective recognition for marking a transitional phase for the band. As with the previous albums, the lineup featured Neal Schon on guitars, Gregg Rolie on keyboards and vocals, Ross Valory on bass, and Aynsley Dunbar on drums. Produced by Glen Kolotkin and recorded at His Master’s Wheels Studio in San Francisco in late 1976, “Next” was the last Journey album to feature solely Gregg Rolie on lead vocals.

Released: January 20, 1978

“Infinity” marked a major turning point in Journey’s career, introducing vocalist Steve Perry and adopting a more mainstream, radio-friendly sound. Produced by Roy Thomas Baker and recorded at His Master’s Wheels Studio and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles in late 1977, the album was a commercial success. It featured hits like “Lights” and “Wheel in the Sky,” which have since become staples of classic rock radio. The album peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified 3x Platinum in the United States. “Infinity” was the last album to feature Aynsley Dunbar before he was replaced by Steve Smith.

by Ram · Published August 25, 2024 · Updated August 25, 2024

Journey Albums in Order: This American rock band Journey, born in San Francisco in 1973, has left its mark on the music world by flashing some very unforgettable hits that show strong performances.

The band Journey had started off initially with members from other notable bands such as Santana, the Steve Miller Band, and Frumious Bandersnatch before later developing into a quintessence of rock music, especially during the period of peak commercial success from 1978 to 1987 with lead vocalist Steve Perry. Their range and durability are supported by a vast catalog to their credit, some of which are even timeless pieces like the case of “Don’t Stop Believin’,” which ironically became the best-selling iTunes song of the pre-21st-century era. There are twenty-five gold and platinum albums to Journey’s credit, including the 18-time platinum Greatest Hits, that justify it across the world.

In their chronological form, most Journey albums have the ability to clearly define the band’s development from its progressive rock roots to the pinnacle of its career as pop-rock giants—making them one of the best-selling bands of all time and earning their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So, if you are a die heart fan of Journey Albums then check out here we have list of Journey albums in order of release so far.

All Journey Band Albums List in Order

1. journey (1975).

journey albums journey image

  • Of a Lifetime
  • In the Morning Day
  • To Play Some Music
  • In My Lonely Feeling / Conversations
  • Mystery Mountain

“Journey” was the first studio album by American rock band Journey, released by Columbia Records on April 1, 1975. Far from the sound of their later years, this first release was in a more jazzy progressive rock direction with strong instrumental aspirations; among other things, it also had rhythm guitarist George Tickner in an oddity distinction in their lineup. Before this release, Journey had recorded a demo album with the same songs but in a different order, and it had Prairie Prince as the drummer. Quite a number of unreleased tracks—including some instrumentals—and the original title track, “Charge of the Light Brigade,” had not been included in this very basic starting album.

2. Look into the Future (1976)

journey albums Look into the Future image

  • On a Saturday Nite
  • It’s All Too Much
  • She Makes Me (Feel Alright)
  • You’re on Your Own
  • Look into the Future
  • Midnight Dreamer
  • I’m Gonna Leave You

“Look into the Future,” Journey’s second studio album, was released through Columbia Records in January 1976 and marked a change in musical direction for the band. Though it tempered a lot of the overt progressiveness of that debut self-titled album, this sophomore effort still maintained a lot of its experimental feel, particularly in songs like the title track and “I’m Gonna Leave You.” The record also included a cover of The Beatles’ “It’s All Too Much,” which was originally featured in the Yellow Submarine film. “Look into the Future” remains the longest recorded Journey song. Importantly, it was the last album to feature rhythm guitarist George Tickner; hence, his exit reduced the membership to the lineup of Gregg Rolie, Neal Schon, Ross Valory, and Aynsley Dunbar.

3. Next (1977)

journey albums Next image

  • I Would Find You
  • Here We Are
  • Nickel and Dime

“Released in 1977, ‘Next’ was Journey’s third studio album and became a continuation of the band’s sound, merging elements from 1976’s ‘Look into the Future’ with traces of their earlier jazz-progressive rock style. Distinctly, ‘Next’ marked the end of an era: it was the last album to feature Gregg Rolie as the primary lead singer. The single release from this album was ‘Spaceman’/ ‘Nickel and Dime.’ Curiously, on early pressings, an instrumental track named ‘Cookie Duster’ was listed but not included. ‘Next’ peaked at No. 85 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart and saw the beginning of lead vocalist Robert Fleischman with the band, setting the stage for the evolution of the group’s musical direction.

4. Infinity (1978)

journey albums Infinity image

  • Feeling That Way
  • Wheel in the Sky
  • Somethin’ to Hide
  • Winds of March
  • Opened the Door

“Infinity” is the fourth studio album by the famous American rock band Journey, which became a real landmark in the group’s history. This January 1978 release of Columbia Records became a real turning point for the band since it was the first to present the powerful vocals of Steve Perry and also their first album with him as the vocalist. It was also the last to include Aynsley Dunbar as a drummer. Such a landmark release pointed toward Journey’s new sound and set up the path for the band’s future successes, setting the stage for an iconic musical journey to come.

5. Evolution (1979)

journey albums Evolution image

  • Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’
  • City of the Angels
  • When You’re Alone (It Ain’t Easy)
  • Sweet and Simple
  • Lovin’ You Is Easy
  • Just the Same Way
  • Do You Recall

The fifth studio album by American rock band Journey, “Evolution,” was the breakthrough. It came out in March 1979 via Columbia Records and was the first to include Steve Smith on drums in the lineup. It was the highest-charting album the group had at that time, peaking at number 20 on the US Billboard 200, and has sold three million copies in the US. Produced by Roy Thomas Baker, famous for his work with the band Queen, the album included the hit “Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’,” their first Top 20 single, and “Just the Same Way,” which duetted both the original lead vocalist Gregg Rolie and Steve Perry. Having tracks like “Too Late,” “Evolution” really pushed the limits of rock ballads with Neal Schon’s impressive guitar work.

6. Departure (1980)

journey albums Departure image

  • Any Way You Want It
  • Walks Like a Lady
  • Someday Soon
  • People and Places
  • Precious Time
  • Where Were You
  • I’m Cryin’
  • Line of Fire
  • Good Morning Girl
  • Stay Awhile
  • Homemade Love
  • Natural Thing
  • Little Girl

Their sixth studio album, “Departure,” was released on February 29, 1980, by the American rock band Journey through Columbia Records. This was a breakout album for Journey in that it would be their first top 10 Billboard 200 chart peaking at No. 8. With the Top 25 single “Any Way You Want It,” “Departure” had a bit harder edge to it because of its “live in studio” recording method.

The album had three singles, and these were supplemented in their effect on the charts by “Walks Like a Lady” and a medley of “Good Morning Girl” and “Stay Awhile”. Of special note is the fact that this album was the last to include founding member Gregg Rolie and the first to set the stage for the inclusion of Jonathan Cain into the band. In the years that followed, “Departure” would be remastered and reissued to feature bonus tracks for fans everywhere.

7. Escape (1981)

journey albums Escape image

  • Don’t Stop Believin’
  • Stone in Love
  • Who’s Crying Now
  • Keep On Runnin’
  • Still They Ride
  • Lay It Down
  • Dead or Alive
  • Mother, Father

In a word, Escape—stylized as E5C4P3 on the album cover—was the epitome of Journey’s musical career. This seventh studio album, released on 17 July 1981 via Columbia Records, reached number one on the American Billboard 200 chart. Here is the bona fide chart-topping sensation, equipped with an impressive quartet of Billboard Hot 100 singles: the classic anthem “Don’t Stop Believin'” (no. 9), “Who’s Crying Now” (no. 4), “Still They Ride” (no. 19), and the heart-rending ballad “Open Arms” reaching No. 2. This rock opus also bestowed the airwaves with another immortal classic, ‘Stone in Love.’ With the RIAA certifying it diamond in July 2021, it became Journey’s most successful studio album and the second most overall successful album, only behind their greatest hits package.

8. Frontiers (1983)

journey albums Frontiers image

  • Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)
  • Send Her My Love
  • Chain Reaction
  • After the Fall
  • Edge of the Blade
  • Troubled Child

“Frontiers,” the eighth studio album by the American rock band Journey, was released on February 1, 1983, via Columbia Records. Noticeably, it was the last performance with bassist Ross Valory until the 1996 release of “Trial by Fire.” It became their biggest seller to date, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and generating four top 40 singles: “After the Fall” (No. 23), “Send Her My Love” (No. 23), “Faithfully” (No. 12), and “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” (No. 8). “Frontiers” was later certified six times platinum by the RIAA. Interestingly, the tracklist for this album was changed at the last minute. Two songs were exchanged, one of which, “Only the Young,” gained some popularity in the movie “Vision Quest.”

9. Raised on Radio (1986)

journey albums Raised on Radio image

  • Girl Can’t Help It
  • Positive Touch
  • Be Good to Yourself
  • Once You Love Somebody
  • Happy to Give
  • Raised on Radio
  • I’ll Be Alright Without You
  • It Could Have Been You
  • The Eyes of a Woman
  • Why Can’t This Night Go on Forever

“Raised on Radio,” the ninth studio album by the American rock band Journey, was released in April 1986 on the Columbia Records label. This was a radical lineup change, as it was their first album without founding bassist Ross Valory; he was substituted by session bassist Bob Glaub and later by Randy Jackson. Only a few cuts were performed by drummer Steve Smith before he was replaced, and then supplemented by the session drummer Larrie Londin, and Mike Baird for the following tour. The album was very successful and issued three US top 20 singles: “Girl Can’t Help It,” “I’ll Be Alright Without You,” and “Suzanne.” It peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and was certified Double Platinum in the USA.

10. Trial by Fire (1996)

  • Message of Love
  • When You Love a Woman
  • If He Should Break Your Heart
  • Forever in Blue
  • Castles Burning
  • Don’t Be Down on Me Baby
  • Still She Cries
  • Colors of the Spirit
  • When I Think of You
  • Easy to Fall
  • Can’t Tame the Lion
  • It’s Just the Rain
  • Trial by Fire
  • Baby I’m a Leavin’ You
  • I Can See It in Your Eyes

“Trial by Fire,” the tenth studio album by the American rock group Journey, was released on October 22, 1996. It marked the return of the classic 1981–1985 lineup, which had not recorded together since the aforementioned “Frontiers.” Produced by Kevin Shirley, it also included the return of bassist Ross Valory and drummer Steve Smith from the aforementioned set. This was the last to feature vocalist Steve Perry. Standout songs on the album include Grammy-nominated hit, “When You Love a Woman”, and a set of spiritually-inspired songs. This album was, however, the only Journey release never to receive supporting on local tours, due to internal disagreements and the hip injury that Perry had. It reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200, and it was also done on platinum.

11. Arrival (2001)

journey albums Arrival image

  • Higher Place
  • All the Way
  • Signs of Life
  • All the Things
  • Loved by You
  • Livin’ to Do
  • World Gone Wild
  • I Got a Reason
  • With Your Love
  • Lifetime of Dreams
  • Live and Breathe
  • Nothin’ Comes Close
  • To Be Alive Again
  • Kiss Me Softly
  • We Will Meet Again

“Arrival,” the eleventh studio album by the legendary American rock band Journey, was released on April 3, 2001, and in Japan during 2000, with one song substituted. The record became a real watershed event in the history of this band since it presented a new vocalist, Steve Augeri, after the unforgettable Steve Perry, and a new drummer, Deen Castronovo, succeeding Steve Smith. “Arrival” was a record that mixed the hard rock elements reminiscent of the ’70s and ’80s material of the band with their trademark ballads, which sounded more like Perry. Although it turned out to be a commercial success by hitting #12 on Billboard’s Top Internet Albums chart, the album received mixed reviews from critics; some praised Neal Schon’s guitar work but called it formulaic.

12. Generations (2005)

journey albums Generations image

  • Faith in the Heartland
  • The Place in Your Heart
  • A Better Life
  • Every Generation
  • Butterfly (She Flies Alone)
  • Knowing That You Love Me
  • Out of Harms Way
  • In Self-Defense
  • Better Together
  • Beyond the Clouds
  • Never Too Late
  • Pride of the Family

“Generations,” Journey’s twelfth studio album, was the final performance by this iconic American rock band with lead singer Steve Augeri. It was the final act in a period of time, released in 2005 on Sanctuary Records, that had cemented the lineup which debuted on 2000’s “Arrival” and continued with 2002’s “Red 13 EP” with Deen Castronovo on drums. One of the distinctive things about the album was that all members of the band took turns singing lead vocals, a decision instigated by Augeri’s vocal fatigue. Critical reception was mixed—some liked Augeri’s performance and the various musical direction taken by the band but questioned the decision to share lead vocals. It peaked at No. 170 on the Billboard 200, and Augeri left the band in the middle of the 2006 tour with a throat infection, thus ending the era of Journey’s sound.

13. Revelation (2008)

journey albums Revelation image

  • Never Walk Away
  • Like a Sunshower
  • Change for the Better
  • Wildest Dream
  • After All These Years
  • Where Did I Lose Your Love
  • What I Needed
  • What It Takes to Win
  • Turn Down the World Tonight
  • The Journey (Revelation)
  • Let It Take You Back

“Revelation” was the thirteenth studio album by the American rock band Journey, which was the first to feature their new lead singer, Arnel Pineda. It includes 11 new tracks and 11 re-recorded greatest hits, both proving the vocals of Pineda. Added to this in the North American version was a DVD of the band performing dynamically on March 8, 2008, in Las Vegas. Other notable singles included “Never Walk Away,” “Where Did I Lose Your Love,” and “After All These Years,” both written by Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain, did very well on the adult contemporary charts. The album earned very good reviews; many praised Pineda’s vocals and the band’s return to form. An extra track, “Let It Take You Back,” was included in the European release.

14. Eclipse (2011)

journey albums Eclipse image

  • City of Hope
  • Edge of the Moment
  • Chain of Love
  • Anything Is Possible
  • She’s a Mystery
  • To Whom It May Concern

Eclipse is the fourteenth studio album by the powerhouse American rock band Journey and the second with lead singer Arnel Pineda. It was released worldwide on different dates in 2011, coming out first on May 24 in the United States and Canada, then on May 27 in Japan, May 30 in the United Kingdom, and finally on June 3 for the international release. With songwriting credits are Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain; Pineda provided his share of songwriting as well. It is the final appearance of bassist Ross Valory, who left the band in 2020. The ‘Eclipse’ adds another chapter to Journey’s long-lived musical history.

15. Freedom (2022)

journey albums Freedom image

  • Together We Run
  • Don’t Give Up on Us
  • Still Believe in Love
  • You Got the Best of Me
  • Live to Love Again
  • The Way We Used to Be
  • Come Away with Me
  • Let It Rain
  • Holdin’ On
  • All Day, All Night
  • Don’t Go
  • United We Stand
  • Life Rolls On
  • Beautiful as You Are

“Freedom” is the fifteenth studio album released by the American rock legends Journey on 8 July 2022 through BMG Rights Management and Frontiers Records. Marking a landmark change in this regard, it is the group’s second album without band co-founder bassist Ross Valory, who has been replaced by Randy Jackson, the last of whose work with Journey was in 1986’s “Raised on Radio”. Featuring fifteen tracks running a grand one hour, thirteen minutes, it becomes Journey’s longest album, excluding greatest hits compilations. While it was hailed for its performance and musicianship, this album got very mixed critical reviews, but most of the critics—or, more importantly, most reviews—were mentioning the poor production, poor mixing, and general overlongness of it.

Conclusion:

The fact that such a journey has endured is purely a testament to their ability to provide timeless rock anthems that go on and on, basically, forever—to connect with people from all corners of the globe. From the early days of just another progressive rock band to a pop-rock powerhouse, Journey’s albums show it all. With over 100 million records sold worldwide, and hit songs such as “Don’t Stop Believin’,” Journey still does not give any hint of slowing down to become one of the most popular rock bands ever. A look through Journey albums in order points to the fact that the group has hauled its long journey through several decades of music; surely it has cemented its place within the pages of rock history but, more importantly, within the hearts of their fans everywhere.

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band members Neal Schon (guitar), Ross Valory (bass) and Gregg Rolie (keyboards) hired singer Steve Perry in 1977 and embarked on a more popular direction. Journey went through another line-up change when Jonathan Cain replaced Rolie, ahead of recording their 1981 album Escape. The LP sold twelve million copies worldwide and featured the songs Who’s Sorry Now and Don’t Stop Believin’, which itself had a curious sales afterlife having only reached the giddy height of 62 in 1982, became a hit again in 2009 due to its use in the US television programme Glee. Steve Perry left Journey in 1998, and Arnel Pineda took over lead vocals in 2007. Image: Marion Curtis/Starpix/Shutterstock

Best Lyrics:

And being apart ain't easy on this love affair Two strangers learn to fall in love again I get the joy of rediscovering you Oh girl, you stand by me I'm forever yours, faithfully

Don't Stop Believin'

Don't Stop Believin'

Strangers waiting Up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlights, people Living just to find emotion Hiding somewhere in the night

Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)

Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)

Someday, love will find you Break those chains that bind you One night will remind you How we touched and went our separate ways

If he ever hurts you True love won't desert you You know I still love you Though we touched and went our separate ways

Who's Crying Now

Who's Crying Now

One love, feeds the fire One heart, burns desire I wonder who's crying now? Two hearts, born to run Who'll be the lonely one? I wonder who's crying now?

Stone in Love

Stone in Love

In the heat with a blue jean girl Burning love comes once in a lifetime She found me singing by the rail road tracks Took me home, we danced by the moonlight

Those summer nights are calling Stone in love Can't help myself, I'm falling

Any Way You Want It

Any Way You Want It

She said, any way you want it That's the way you need it Any way you want it

I was alone I never knew What good love could do Ooh, then we touched Then we sang About the lovin' things

Only the Young

Only the Young

Shadows of a golden age A generation waits for dawn Brave carry on Bold and the strong

Only the young can say They're free to fly away Sharing the same desire Burnin' like wildfire

Send Her My Love

Send Her My Love

Callin' out your name I'm dreamin' Reflections of a face I'm seein' It's her voice That keeps on haunting me

Send her, send her my love Roses never fade Memories remain

Lights

When the lights go down in the City And the sun shines on the bay Ooh, I wanna be there in my City, oh Oh, oh, oh

Wheel in the Sky

Wheel in the Sky

Winter is here again, oh lord Haven't been home in a year or more I hope she holds on a little longer Sent a letter on a long summer day Made of silver, not of clay I've been runnin' down this dusty road

Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' I don't know where I'll be tomorrow

Still They Ride

Still They Ride

Spinning 'round, in a spell It's hard to leave this carousel 'Round and 'round And 'round and 'round

Still they ride, on wheels of fire They rule the night Still they ride, the strong will survive Chasing thunder

Feeling That Way

Feeling That Way

Opened my eyes to a new kind of way All the good times that you saved Are you feeling You feeling that way too Or am I just Am I just a fool

Girl Can't Help It

Girl Can't Help It

If he could hold her, so close in his arms again If she could show him The letter her heart forgot to send why They're livin' dreams on their own Ooh they'll never stop running

The girl can't help it, she needs more He hasn't found what he's lookin' for They're still standing in the rain He can't help it, and she's just that way

After All These Years

A faded wedding photograph You and me in our first dance Our eyes are closed We're lost in one sweet embrace Since those days the world has changed But our love remains the same God knows we've had our share of saving grace

Top 10 Journey Songs

The top Journey songs demonstrate quite clearly how the band, one of the early progenitors of what rock critics like to dismiss as "arena rock," achieved such popularity in the '70s and '80s.

Journey were undoubtedly ahead of their time in terms of PR, and especially in terms of professionalizing their live shows, pioneering elements of live production that are standard procedure today. But while the group took a great deal of flack for the skill with which they were marketed, it is the music they created – an interesting blend of guitar-driven hard rock and vocal-oriented pop – that has endured across the decades, connecting with several subsequent generations.

The group's earliest musical origins featured an elaborate mix of rock and progressive fusion, but it wasn't until they later shifted in a more commercial direction that they began their long, slow climb to superstardom. Though they were often critically derided, Journey's best work boasted a level of instrumental and vocal ability far beyond that of most of their peers and covered a wide array of styles – as you'll see in our list of the Top 10 Journey Songs.

"Lovin,' Touchin,' Squeezin'"

Steve Perry reportedly drew inspiration from one of his biggest influences, Sam Cooke, for this track from Journey's fifth album. The singer borrowed from " Nothing Can Change This Love " for the song, which struck a perfect balance between his soulful pop vocals and Neal Schon 's heavy rock guitars to become the group's first Top 20 hit, reaching No. 16 and helping Evolution to become a triple-platinum hit.

"Stone In Love"

This hard rock track from Journey's seventh studio album helped introduce the writing talents of newcomer keyboardist Jonathan Cain , who wrote the song with Perry and Schon. The song's infectious marriage of heavy riffing, blazing guitar solos and an alluring melody – all topped off by an undeniable Steve Perry vocal performance – helped it became a rock radio staple, easily earning its spot in our Top 10 Journey Songs.

Perry wasted no time making himself at home as a writer after he joined for Journey's fourth album. This soulful rock track pairs a Schon riff with a lyric Perry had originally written about Los Angeles, which he changed to fit after joining the San Francisco-based Journey. "Lights" originally charted at just No. 68, but went on to become a rock radio staple and an important part of Journey's live shows.

"Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)"

Another in a long string of Journey classics penned by the duo of Cain and Perry, this song came together in a backstage writing session in which the singer was playing bass and the keyboardist was playing guitar. It marries Perry's Motown influence with hard rock for a track that hit No. 8 in the Mainstream Rock chart and has become an all-time classic rock track. The single release was accompanied by a much-lampooned video in which the band members mime to the track without their actual instruments.

"Feeling That Way"

"Feeling That Way" was initially an instrumental titled "Velvet Curtain," written by keyboardist Gregg Rolie with drummer Aynsley Dunbar before he added words and re-titled it "Please Let Me Stay." It wasn't until Perry joined Journey and wrote some additional material that the band recorded the track. He and Rolie shared the lead vocal duties on this song, which is almost always paired with " Anytime " both on the radio and in concert.

"Wheel in the Sky"

One of the earliest Journey songs to find traction at rock radio, "Wheel in the Sky" began as a poem titled "Wheels in My Mind" by Diane Valory, the wife of Journey bassist Ross Valory. When singer Robert Fleischman heard it, he appropriated it for a lyric that was juxtaposed against a hard rock riff from Schon. When Journey brought in Steve Perry to replace Fleischman, he put his signature vocal stamp on the track, undeniably making it one of the Top 10 Journey Songs

"Open Arms"

Cain had originally pitched the melody idea for "Open Arms" when he was a member of the Babys , but singer John Waite reportedly shot it down as too sentimental. Once he and Perry completed the song, their Journey bandmates didn't feel too differently – particularly Schon, who felt the song too light for the group. Despite the opposition, the group recorded and released the track, which held the No. 2 spot in the Billboard chart for six consecutive weeks and has become a cultural touchstone.

"Any Way You Want It"

Co-written by Perry and Schon, this track was heavily influenced by Thin Lizzy front man Phil Lynott , who was sharing in a rhyme scheme exercise with the two backstage while the bands were touring together. Recorded closer to a "live in the studio" environment, Departure featured an edgier sound than previous Journey records, and the track is a perfect example of that, propelled by Schon's fleet-fingered solos and Perry's high-octane vocal performance.

"Faithfully"

Cain wrote the wistful piano-based ballad "Faithfully" about the challenges of being on the road while trying to maintain a life with his wife at home. The song's universal sentiment and melodic structure struck such a chord with fans that it landed at No. 12 in the Billboard chart, and it has since gone on to become one of Journey's most recognizable and enduring songs. Ironically, the song has far outlasted the marriage it was written to commemorate, which ended in divorce in 1987.

"Don't Stop Believin'"

"Don't Stop Believin'" not only tops our list of the Top 10 Journey Songs, it came in at No. 13 in our overall poll of the Top 100 Classic Rock Songs, and it is the best-selling catalog track of the digital music era, having sold more than 5 million digital tracks. Written by Cain, Perry and Schon, the song's multi-generational attraction lies partly in its inspirational message and partly in its arrangement, which appeals equally to fans of hard rock and vocal-oriented pop.

Journey

Though it arrives amidst lawsuits , social media sniping and infighting, Journey is turning 50 this year.

During that half century, the group has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, logging 11 platinum-or-better albums (including Diamond certifications for 1981’s Escape and 1988’s Greatest Hits) , earning eight top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 and 25 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. It’s also been a reliable ticket-selling act for most of its career, and in 2017, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Journey’s is the story of eras. When the group originally formed in San Francisco in 1973, original manager Herbie Herbert helped bring together guitarist Neal Schon and keyboard player/vocalist Gregg Rolie from Santana, bassist Ross Valory and rhythm guitarist George Tickner from Frumious Bandersnatch and drummer Prairie Prince from The Tubes. Prince would be replaced by David Bowie/Frank Zappa skins man Aynsley Dunbar, while Tickner would leave after Journey’s self-titled first album in 1975. The remaining quartet recorded two more albums before Steve Perry came on board for 1978’s Infinity, which began the band’s run of multi-platinum smashes — also marking the first appearance of Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse’s iconic scarab logo for the band. Dunbar was replaced by Steve Smith for 1979’s Evolution , and Rolie would leave in 1980 with Jonathan Cain of The Babys joining to help elevate the band to even greater fortunes on Escape and Frontiers .

The palette has been diverse, but there are common elements among Journey’s best songs — sturdy melodies and sing-along choruses, usually leading into one of Schon’s majestic guitar solos. But within that mold there’s also been plenty of invention and clever arrangements that have never been as formulaic as some of the band’s detractors (particularly during their early ‘80s heyday) would have you believe.

Journey has gone through its fair share of lineups, with singer Arnel Pineda on board since 2007 — the longest continuous tenure of any Journey frontman. The group released Freedom , it’s first new studio album in 11 years, in 2022, and despite the current legal fractures (which you can read about in detail here ), still they ride, as the Escape track says — and may they keep on runnin’ for a long time.

With all that in mind, here are our picks for Journey’s 10 best songs — not all of which come from the biggest hits.

"Someday Soon" ( Departure , 1980)

This album track from Rolie’s finally studio effort with the band is a hypnotic tone poem, with a ringing, cushy ambience and a hippie kind of optimism – not to mention the best give-and-take Perry and Rolie achieved during their time together in the band. It’s of course been eclipsed by Journey’s myriad hits (“Any Way You Want It” is the enduring top 40 Hot 100 hit from Departure ), but it’s a gem worthy of discovery.  Listen here.

"Escape" ( Escape , 1981)

The title track from Journey’s Billboard 200-topping studio album straddled the hard rock/pomp attack of the group’s mid-‘70s output with the melodic sensibility of the Perry-Cain axis. Its five-minute length provides room for the arrangement to stretch out and flow from one song part to the next, with a crunch that was part of Journey’s palette at the time. Listen here.

"Of a Lifetime" ( Journey , 1975)

The Journey of 1973-77 was certainly a different creature than the hitmaking colossus so many know and love. The group’s initial lineups flexed instrumental muscles, smoothly knitting together a number of styles more interested in the journey (ba- dum ) than any commercial destination. The first track from its first album is a prototype, leaning into blues, psychedelic rock and a touch of Latin, with the first of what would become many standout Schon solos, and a tuneful sturdiness delivered by Rolie’s soulful vocal. Listen here.

"Faithfully" (Frontiers , 1983)

Journey "Faithfully"

The melody of this top 20 Hot 100 hit came to Cain in a dream on a tour bus, and his paean to the struggle between home and the road was written in a half-hour. The result was a swoon-inducing ballad tailor-made for a sea of lighters (back then) and cellphone flashlights (now), capturing one of Perry’s best recorded performances and one of Schon’s most inspired solos. One of its great side stories is that Prince contacted Cain after he wrote “Purple Rain,” concerned that it might be too similar to “Faithfully.” Cain determined it wasn’t, but joked to Billboard that, “After seeing what it became, I should have asked for a couple of points….”

"Ask the Lonely" (single, 1983)

Recorded for Frontiers , this one wound up in the romcom Two of a Kind (starring the Grease duo of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John) and rocked its way to No. 3 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. Like “Only the Young,” which wound up in Vision Quest two years later, it showed that Journey was on roll – and well-suited for big soundtrack moments. Listen here.

"Who's Crying Now" ( Escape, 1981)

The best of Journey’s swoon songs — started by Perry while driving into Los Angeles and finished with Cain — has a subtlety and dynamic build that sets it apart from the many others of its ilk they’d create. The verse slips into the chorus with a soulful ease, and Schon’s guitar accents deftly build up to his searing solo at the end. The Escape single reached No. 4 on the Hot 100. Listen here.

"Feeling That Way" ( Infinity , 1978)

If fans at the time wondered how Steve Perry and Gregg Rolie would co-exist, this was the answer — an ebb-and-flow tradeoff that proved they could complement each other as lead singers as well as harmonize smoothly together (first evidenced by Infinity ‘s lead track “Lights”). Its medley-like pairing with the next track, “Anytime,” was gravy that would become a motif on the next few Journey albums. Listen here.

"Just the Same Way" ( Evolution , 1979)

Journey’s fifth album had a punchier sound than Infinity — though they shared producer Roy Thomas Baker — which worked to the benefit of the album’s first single. Led by Rolie’s piano and muscular lead vocal, with Perry responding on the choruses and bridge, it reached No. 58 on the Hot 100 in 1979. In a perfect world this would have been as big as anything from Escape or Frontiers, but it’s still a convincing introduction to the Rolie era of the band. Listen here.

"Don't Stop Believin'" ( Escape , 1981)

Journey "Don't Stop Believin'" (Live 1981: Escape Tour - 2022 HD Remaster)

More than a billion Spotify streams, a Library of Congress National Recording Registry placement and plays at virtually every sporting event around the world don’t lie — this one is Journey’s pinnacle of success. Created during a rehearsal at the group’s warehouse HQ in Oakland, Calif., it gave us the “streetlight people” of Hollywood’s Sunset Strip and put the non-existent South Detroit on the map. And it saves the chorus for the song’s end, after the guitar solo. A cross-generational hit? Believe it, gleefully.

"Stone in Love" ( Escape , 1981)

Schon reportedly called this “Stoned in Love” when he wrote the riff, and it’s certainly an addictive track that’s the best roll-down-the-windows-and-crank-it-up Journey fix you could ask for — not to mention a frequent show opener. A No. 13 Mainstream Rock Airplay hit in 1981, the song is practically a deep cut today. But its anthemic chorus is a spirit-lifter and the dynamic breakdown that segues into the song-closing guitar solo harks back to the ambitious musicality of the first few albums. “Stone” is a gem that still shines bright. Listen here.
