I should preface with some disclosure.
I hate Journey.
I've always hated Journey.
(or so I thought).
I mean, just listen to this shit:

But now I've come to realize that I don't really hate Journey, just Steve Perry.
Pre-Steve Perry Journey, while not some hallmark of artistic brilliance, is actually somewhat tolerable to listen to.

That band gets a much worse rap from people like myself than it deserves. They were somewhat ok in the 70s.
Fuck you Steve Perry....you took a middling, mildly entertaining rock band and turned it into the most obnoxious pop act of the 80s.
