These albums contain such Journey classics as “Open Arms”, “Don’t Stop Believin’”, “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)”, and “Be Good to Yourself.”Īs we all know, Raised on Radio would be their last release for ten years. Their next two albums Evolution and Departure would be Journey’s first top 20 albums and contain their first legitimate hits, “Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’” and “Any Way You Want It.” They followed these albums with a string of top 4 albums: Escape (#1), Frontiers (#2), and Raised on Radio (#4).

I LOVE JOURNEY! ever since I bought the Escape album with my own money in 1981. In Defense of Journey Without Steve Perry ![]()
