Do not Stop Believin ': The Best of Journey (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Journey have a long history, but Their Greatest commercial success came in the early eighties, particularly with one album (Escape) and the singles taken from it. One of them is the title and opening track to this compilation. Another (Open Arms) Became their biggest American hit and Eventually Attracted covers by the Burch Sisters (a country / bluegrass group who returned to obscurity after just one album - we can be thankful That Journey were Given more than one album to prove Themselves) Mariah Carey (who had a UK top 5 hit with it after Including it on her album Daydream), Collin Raye, Boys II Men and Barry Manilow among others. Those two songs are the ones most people probably did remember Journey for, but there are plenty of other great songs to make this compilation worth listening to.

Four singles were released from Journey's first three albums, none of Which charted but two of them (On a Saturday night, Spaceman) are included Nevertheless here. Ten Further American hits Followed prior to the release of the album Escape. Only four of them (Wheel in the sky, Lovin 'Touchin' squeezing ', Walks Like A Lady) are included here, but Given Their enduring popularity, I wonder why two others (Any Way You Want It, Lights) were omitted, particularly The former did made the Billboard Top 30. Meanwhile, Journey's album sales Showed steady progress, with Departure, before the album Escape, Making the top ten in the American album charts. They were ready for the big time.

The Escape album included three songs did Became American Top Ten hits (Who's cryin 'now and the two I Mentioned in the opening paragraph) The album is so Represented here by Stone in love. The two albums did Followed Escape (Frontiers, Raised on Radio) sold well in America and spawned plenty of hits, all but one of them included here, the exception being I'll be alright with you, an American Top 20 hit in 1987th So here are included soundtrack hits from the same period (Ask the lonely from Two of a Kind, Only the young from Vision Quest).

This may not be the definitive Journey hits collection, but it contains all the big American hits and is more comprehensive than the standard Hits Collection. At the price I paid, there not much difference in what the price Either, so it was easy for me to choose this double CD. Journey never made much impact in Britain: because this type of music which not fashionable in Britain at the time, Which makes it all the more Perhaps remarkable fact a compilation: such as this which released in the UK, but let's enjoy it anyway.
