I never remember which one is Journey, which one is Foreigner, and which one is Starship. Fortunately, it doesn't matter. I don't listen to any of them.
Journey and Styx and a couple of other bands at the time sounded so much alike I could barely tell them apart. ELO maybe? Boston? I can't remember but they were cookie-cutter bands for the most part IMHO.
I think they're a band that's better live. I saw them live twice with Arnel Pineda on vocals and Dean Castronova on drums and they were great and Neil Schon is amazing live. However, it's not a band whose music I return to at all in my rotation. Their catalog feels dated and repetitive.
Did we not all have that one friend who loved them though. I've grown to appreciate Steve Perry vocals and some good stories in those songs. Don't know who wrote them.
