Taking a stand against Journey is about as daring as Chip Cary taking a stand against murder.  Is there any single person at this board who likes Journey?  I just assumed that there wasn't.   I'd really be stunned--and disappointed--if there were.

I don't not like them.  I saw them in concert once and it was a good show.

Saw them in Fresno in '83. Place was crawling with chicks.

Liking Journey is like murder? How can a Journey song impact you so much Huey?

I was using Chip Caray as an example of someone seemingly going out on a limb on something that is not remotely controversial.  I honestly assumed hatred of Journey was unaminous, even with all of the variant tastes people have here.

I mean, fucking Journey?  WTF, people?

Journey, Kansas, Styx, REO, Foreigner, Boston are all the same awful, awful band.

IIRC, the last time you and I had this exact same discussion it led to you reminiscing about your teenage days in the basements of Buffalo Grove.

Hey, it's a nice memory.

Don't be absurd. The guitar spaceships of Boston are in an entirely different league from the Voyager-level cosmic-egg-scarab-oh-look-now-it's-kind-of-like-a-phoenix stylings of Journey.

Yeah, I'm not going to take to the streets for Boston or anything, but mentioning them in the same breath as Journey (and REO) is fucking disheartening.

Tom Scholz left quite a mark on music, particularly around guitar harmonies and how music is recorded. He also built his own equipment, which is still used.
