Journey Songs

Select a song to view albums and online mp3s:, celebrating the best journey songs.

One song can be enough to keep a band in people’s hearts and minds for decades. And Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ is a prime example.

This song was released way back in 1981, but remains a classic of the rock genre, beloved by many — including countless fans born years after it first hit the charts. Don’t Stop Believin’ actually became the biggest-selling of all tracks released before the 21st century on iTunes in 2009, as proof of its immense staying power.

But there’s more to Journey than this unforgettable track.

The Best Journey Songs from a Career Spanning Decades

Journey has separated and reformed multiple times, but has enjoyed considerable success since the band first broke through in the early 1980s. By the time Don’t Stop Believin’ was released, the band had already released multiple albums, including Escape (from which this track was taken).

Escape was a huge hit, reaching the top of the Billboard 200 and garnering critical acclaim. It also included the track Open Arms, another of the best Journey songs. Don’t Stop Believin’ showcases some of the strongest Journey songs lyrics, with an inspirational sensibility that makes it one of the most upbeat rock songs ever released.

Other best Journey songs include Any Way You Want It, Lights, Wheel in the Sky, and Only the Young. They showcase some of the strongest Journey songs lyrics written so far.

During the band’s career, Journey has sold close to 50 million albums in the United States alone, and have had more than 19 top 40 singles in this country, with 25 gold and platinum albums. The Greatest Hits album, released in 1988, was RIAA Diamond Certified and believed to be the US’s sixth-highest-certified greatest hits album. It sells almost 500,000 units around the world each year, and has been rereleased on numerous occasions.

Overall, Journey is considered one of the top-selling bands in the history of music. The band was inducted into the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.

The Enduring Power of the Best Journey Songs

As with most smash-hit rock bands, Journey songs lyrics can be heard in numerous films and television shows. For example, Don’t Stop Believin’ featured in the notorious final installment of the long-running Sopranos, as well as in hit musical series Glee. The Broadway musical Rock of Ages includes the track, too.

With the best Journey songs gaining exposure in the media, the band continues to gain new fans again and again. There’s a wealth of material for newcomers to discover, including more than a dozen albums.

These include: the 1975 debut Journey; Look into the Future; Next; Infinity; Evolution; Departure; Dream, After Dream; Escape; Frontiers; Raised on Radio; Trial by Fire; Arrival; Generations; Revelation; and Eclipse. The Greatest Hits compilation makes a fantastic starting point for new fans, too.

Journey’s 10 Best Songs

Sure, "Don't Stop Believin'" -- but there's a whole lot more.

Though it arrives amidst lawsuits , social media sniping and infighting, Journey is turning 50 this year.

During that half century, the group has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, logging 11 platinum-or-better albums (including Diamond certifications for 1981’s Escape and 1988’s Greatest Hits) , earning eight top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 and 25 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. It’s also been a reliable ticket-selling act for most of its career, and in 2017, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Journey’s is the story of eras. When the group originally formed in San Francisco in 1973, original manager Herbie Herbert helped bring together guitarist Neal Schon and keyboard player/vocalist Gregg Rolie from Santana, bassist Ross Valory and rhythm guitarist George Tickner from Frumious Bandersnatch and drummer Prairie Prince from The Tubes. Prince would be replaced by David Bowie/Frank Zappa skins man Aynsley Dunbar, while Tickner would leave after Journey’s self-titled first album in 1975. The remaining quartet recorded two more albums before Steve Perry came on board for 1978’s Infinity, which began the band’s run of multi-platinum smashes — also marking the first appearance of Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse’s iconic scarab logo for the band. Dunbar was replaced by Steve Smith for 1979’s Evolution , and Rolie would leave in 1980 with Jonathan Cain of The Babys joining to help elevate the band to even greater fortunes on Escape and Frontiers .

The palette has been diverse, but there are common elements among Journey’s best songs — sturdy melodies and sing-along choruses, usually leading into one of Schon’s majestic guitar solos. But within that mold there’s also been plenty of invention and clever arrangements that have never been as formulaic as some of the band’s detractors (particularly during their early ‘80s heyday) would have you believe.

Journey has gone through its fair share of lineups, with singer Arnel Pineda on board since 2007 — the longest continuous tenure of any Journey frontman. The group released Freedom , it’s first new studio album in 11 years, in 2022, and despite the current legal fractures (which you can read about in detail here ), still they ride, as the Escape track says — and may they keep on runnin’ for a long time.

With all that in mind, here are our picks for Journey’s 10 best songs — not all of which come from the biggest hits.

"Someday Soon" ( Departure , 1980)

This album track from Rolie’s finally studio effort with the band is a hypnotic tone poem, with a ringing, cushy ambience and a hippie kind of optimism – not to mention the best give-and-take Perry and Rolie achieved during their time together in the band. It’s of course been eclipsed by Journey’s myriad hits (“Any Way You Want It” is the enduring top 40 Hot 100 hit from Departure ), but it’s a gem worthy of discovery.  Listen here.

"Escape" ( Escape , 1981)

The title track from Journey’s Billboard 200-topping studio album straddled the hard rock/pomp attack of the group’s mid-‘70s output with the melodic sensibility of the Perry-Cain axis. Its five-minute length provides room for the arrangement to stretch out and flow from one song part to the next, with a crunch that was part of Journey’s palette at the time. Listen here.

"Of a Lifetime" ( Journey , 1975)

The Journey of 1973-77 was certainly a different creature than the hitmaking colossus so many know and love. The group’s initial lineups flexed instrumental muscles, smoothly knitting together a number of styles more interested in the journey (ba- dum ) than any commercial destination. The first track from its first album is a prototype, leaning into blues, psychedelic rock and a touch of Latin, with the first of what would become many standout Schon solos, and a tuneful sturdiness delivered by Rolie’s soulful vocal. Listen here.

"Faithfully" (Frontiers , 1983)

The melody of this top 20 Hot 100 hit came to Cain in a dream on a tour bus, and his paean to the struggle between home and the road was written in a half-hour. The result was a swoon-inducing ballad tailor-made for a sea of lighters (back then) and cellphone flashlights (now), capturing one of Perry’s best recorded performances and one of Schon’s most inspired solos. One of its great side stories is that Prince contacted Cain after he wrote “Purple Rain,” concerned that it might be too similar to “Faithfully.” Cain determined it wasn’t, but joked to Billboard that, “After seeing what it became, I should have asked for a couple of points….”

"Ask the Lonely" (single, 1983)

Recorded for Frontiers , this one wound up in the romcom Two of a Kind (starring the Grease duo of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John) and rocked its way to No. 3 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. Like “Only the Young,” which wound up in Vision Quest two years later, it showed that Journey was on roll – and well-suited for big soundtrack moments. Listen here.

"Who's Crying Now" ( Escape, 1981)

The best of Journey’s swoon songs — started by Perry while driving into Los Angeles and finished with Cain — has a subtlety and dynamic build that sets it apart from the many others of its ilk they’d create. The verse slips into the chorus with a soulful ease, and Schon’s guitar accents deftly build up to his searing solo at the end. The Escape single reached No. 4 on the Hot 100. Listen here.

"Feeling That Way" ( Infinity , 1978)

If fans at the time wondered how Steve Perry and Gregg Rolie would co-exist, this was the answer — an ebb-and-flow tradeoff that proved they could complement each other as lead singers as well as harmonize smoothly together (first evidenced by Infinity ‘s lead track “Lights”). Its medley-like pairing with the next track, “Anytime,” was gravy that would become a motif on the next few Journey albums. Listen here.

"Just the Same Way" ( Evolution , 1979)

Journey’s fifth album had a punchier sound than Infinity — though they shared producer Roy Thomas Baker — which worked to the benefit of the album’s first single. Led by Rolie’s piano and muscular lead vocal, with Perry responding on the choruses and bridge, it reached No. 58 on the Hot 100 in 1979. In a perfect world this would have been as big as anything from Escape or Frontiers, but it’s still a convincing introduction to the Rolie era of the band. Listen here.

"Don't Stop Believin'" ( Escape , 1981)

More than a billion Spotify streams, a Library of Congress National Recording Registry placement and plays at virtually every sporting event around the world don’t lie — this one is Journey’s pinnacle of success. Created during a rehearsal at the group’s warehouse HQ in Oakland, Calif., it gave us the “streetlight people” of Hollywood’s Sunset Strip and put the non-existent South Detroit on the map. And it saves the chorus for the song’s end, after the guitar solo. A cross-generational hit? Believe it, gleefully.

"Stone in Love" ( Escape , 1981)

Schon reportedly called this “Stoned in Love” when he wrote the riff, and it’s certainly an addictive track that’s the best roll-down-the-windows-and-crank-it-up Journey fix you could ask for — not to mention a frequent show opener. A No. 13 Mainstream Rock Airplay hit in 1981, the song is practically a deep cut today. But its anthemic chorus is a spirit-lifter and the dynamic breakdown that segues into the song-closing guitar solo harks back to the ambitious musicality of the first few albums. “Stone” is a gem that still shines bright. Listen here.

Top 10 Journey Songs

The top Journey songs demonstrate quite clearly how the band, one of the early progenitors of what rock critics like to dismiss as "arena rock," achieved such popularity in the '70s and '80s.

Journey were undoubtedly ahead of their time in terms of PR, and especially in terms of professionalizing their live shows, pioneering elements of live production that are standard procedure today. But while the group took a great deal of flack for the skill with which they were marketed, it is the music they created – an interesting blend of guitar-driven hard rock and vocal-oriented pop – that has endured across the decades, connecting with several subsequent generations.

The group's earliest musical origins featured an elaborate mix of rock and progressive fusion, but it wasn't until they later shifted in a more commercial direction that they began their long, slow climb to superstardom. Though they were often critically derided, Journey's best work boasted a level of instrumental and vocal ability far beyond that of most of their peers and covered a wide array of styles – as you'll see in our list of the Top 10 Journey Songs.

"Lovin,' Touchin,' Squeezin'"

Steve Perry reportedly drew inspiration from one of his biggest influences, Sam Cooke, for this track from Journey's fifth album. The singer borrowed from " Nothing Can Change This Love " for the song, which struck a perfect balance between his soulful pop vocals and Neal Schon 's heavy rock guitars to become the group's first Top 20 hit, reaching No. 16 and helping Evolution to become a triple-platinum hit.

"Stone In Love"

This hard rock track from Journey's seventh studio album helped introduce the writing talents of newcomer keyboardist Jonathan Cain , who wrote the song with Perry and Schon. The song's infectious marriage of heavy riffing, blazing guitar solos and an alluring melody – all topped off by an undeniable Steve Perry vocal performance – helped it became a rock radio staple, easily earning its spot in our Top 10 Journey Songs.

Perry wasted no time making himself at home as a writer after he joined for Journey's fourth album. This soulful rock track pairs a Schon riff with a lyric Perry had originally written about Los Angeles, which he changed to fit after joining the San Francisco-based Journey. "Lights" originally charted at just No. 68, but went on to become a rock radio staple and an important part of Journey's live shows.

"Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)"

Another in a long string of Journey classics penned by the duo of Cain and Perry, this song came together in a backstage writing session in which the singer was playing bass and the keyboardist was playing guitar. It marries Perry's Motown influence with hard rock for a track that hit No. 8 in the Mainstream Rock chart and has become an all-time classic rock track. The single release was accompanied by a much-lampooned video in which the band members mime to the track without their actual instruments.

"Feeling That Way"

"Feeling That Way" was initially an instrumental titled "Velvet Curtain," written by keyboardist Gregg Rolie with drummer Aynsley Dunbar before he added words and re-titled it "Please Let Me Stay." It wasn't until Perry joined Journey and wrote some additional material that the band recorded the track. He and Rolie shared the lead vocal duties on this song, which is almost always paired with " Anytime " both on the radio and in concert.

"Wheel in the Sky"

One of the earliest Journey songs to find traction at rock radio, "Wheel in the Sky" began as a poem titled "Wheels in My Mind" by Diane Valory, the wife of Journey bassist Ross Valory. When singer Robert Fleischman heard it, he appropriated it for a lyric that was juxtaposed against a hard rock riff from Schon. When Journey brought in Steve Perry to replace Fleischman, he put his signature vocal stamp on the track, undeniably making it one of the Top 10 Journey Songs

"Open Arms"

Cain had originally pitched the melody idea for "Open Arms" when he was a member of the Babys , but singer John Waite reportedly shot it down as too sentimental. Once he and Perry completed the song, their Journey bandmates didn't feel too differently – particularly Schon, who felt the song too light for the group. Despite the opposition, the group recorded and released the track, which held the No. 2 spot in the Billboard chart for six consecutive weeks and has become a cultural touchstone.

"Any Way You Want It"

Co-written by Perry and Schon, this track was heavily influenced by Thin Lizzy front man Phil Lynott , who was sharing in a rhyme scheme exercise with the two backstage while the bands were touring together. Recorded closer to a "live in the studio" environment, Departure featured an edgier sound than previous Journey records, and the track is a perfect example of that, propelled by Schon's fleet-fingered solos and Perry's high-octane vocal performance.

"Faithfully"

Cain wrote the wistful piano-based ballad "Faithfully" about the challenges of being on the road while trying to maintain a life with his wife at home. The song's universal sentiment and melodic structure struck such a chord with fans that it landed at No. 12 in the Billboard chart, and it has since gone on to become one of Journey's most recognizable and enduring songs. Ironically, the song has far outlasted the marriage it was written to commemorate, which ended in divorce in 1987.

"Don't Stop Believin'"

"Don't Stop Believin'" not only tops our list of the Top 10 Journey Songs, it came in at No. 13 in our overall poll of the Top 100 Classic Rock Songs, and it is the best-selling catalog track of the digital music era, having sold more than 5 million digital tracks. Written by Cain, Perry and Schon, the song's multi-generational attraction lies partly in its inspirational message and partly in its arrangement, which appeals equally to fans of hard rock and vocal-oriented pop.

Don't Stop Believin'

Best Lyrics:

Strangers waiting Up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlights, people Living just to find emotion Hiding somewhere in the night

Stone in Love

In the heat with a blue jean girl Burning love comes once in a lifetime She found me singing by the rail road tracks Took me home, we danced by the moonlight

Those summer nights are calling Stone in love Can't help myself, I'm falling

And being apart ain't easy on this love affair Two strangers learn to fall in love again I get the joy of rediscovering you Oh girl, you stand by me I'm forever yours, faithfully

Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)

Someday, love will find you Break those chains that bind you One night will remind you How we touched and went our separate ways

If he ever hurts you True love won't desert you You know I still love you Though we touched and went our separate ways

Feeling That Way

Opened my eyes to a new kind of way All the good times that you saved Are you feeling You feeling that way too Or am I just Am I just a fool

Wheel in the Sky

Winter is here again, oh lord Haven't been home in a year or more I hope she holds on a little longer Sent a letter on a long summer day Made of silver, not of clay I've been runnin' down this dusty road

Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' I don't know where I'll be tomorrow

When the lights go down in the City And the sun shines on the bay Ooh, I wanna be there in my City, oh Oh, oh, oh

Send Her My Love

Callin' out your name I'm dreamin' Reflections of a face I'm seein' It's her voice That keeps on haunting me

Send her, send her my love Roses never fade Memories remain

Who's Crying Now

One love, feeds the fire One heart, burns desire I wonder who's crying now? Two hearts, born to run Who'll be the lonely one? I wonder who's crying now?

Any Way You Want It

She said, any way you want it That's the way you need it Any way you want it

I was alone I never knew What good love could do Ooh, then we touched Then we sang About the lovin' things

Ask The Lonely

You've got some fascination With you high expectations This love is your obsession Your heart, your past possession Let down your defenses Won't be up to the one who cares

Only the Young

Shadows of a golden age A generation waits for dawn Brave carry on Bold and the strong

Only the young can say They're free to fly away Sharing the same desire Burnin' like wildfire

Still They Ride

Spinning 'round, in a spell It's hard to leave this carousel 'Round and 'round And 'round and 'round

Still they ride, on wheels of fire They rule the night Still they ride, the strong will survive Chasing thunder

Touchin', Lovin', Squeezin'

It won't be long, yes, till you're alone When your lover, oh, he hasn't come home 'Cause he's lovin' who he's touchin', he's squeezin' another

He's tearin' you apart Ooh, every day, every day

Girl Can't Help It

If he could hold her, so close in his arms again If she could show him The letter her heart forgot to send why They're livin' dreams on their own Ooh they'll never stop running

The girl can't help it, she needs more He hasn't found what he's lookin' for They're still standing in the rain He can't help it, and she's just that way

Just The Same Way

Take a chance now the timing's right. You're free to leave the key to my life. Stay with me. Won't you stay the night, In the mornin' feelin' fine, yeah.

That's the same way you love me. 

Be Good To Yourself

Runnin' out of self-control Gettin' close to an overload Up against a no win situation Shoulder to shoulder, push and shove I'm hangin' up my boxin' gloves I'm ready for a long vacation

Be good to yourself when, nobody else will Oh be good to yourself You're walkin' a high-wire, caught in a crossfire

I'll Be Alright Without You

I'll be alright without you Oh love's an empty face, I can't replace (You don't need it) People wonderin' why we broke apart The great pretender here I go again These things I do (It's all because of you) I'll keep holdin' but I'll try (Try not to think of you)

The Party's Over (Hopelessly In Love)

So I will tell you this, Our love is in a fix. Just what more can I do. When I'm hopelessly in love with you?

Mother, Father

Through bitter tears And wounded years, those ties Of blood were strong So much to say, those yesterdays So now don't you turn away.

Hey, mother, father, sister Hey, come back, tryin', believein' Hey, mother, father, dreamer

After The Fall

But a head strong stubborn man Only works it out the best he can Valentines he never sent There's not enough time he's a working man

Can't stop falling Heartaches calling Finds you after the fall

When You Love A Woman

When you love a woman You see your world inside her eyes When you love a woman (Well) You know she's standing by your side A joy that lasts forever There's a band of gold that shines Waiting somewhere, oh, yeah

I see your face at the movies I hear your voice on the radio You're making love on the silver screen I want you more than you will ever know Temptation...Infatuation

Suzanne, don't walk away

Why Can't This Night Go On Forever

Lost in twilight, the memories Precious moments, you and me We've been old friends, all through the years Picture postcards, sharing tears

What's in our hearts, there's never time, to say Need you tonight, lover don't fade away I've seen your city lights As I walk away Why can't this night...go on forever

After All These Years

A faded wedding photograph You and me in our first dance Our eyes are closed We're lost in one sweet embrace Since those days the world has changed But our love remains the same God knows we've had our share of saving grace

Where Were You

I didn't know what the hell was goin' on, Someday you're gonna break. So don't try to get yourself straight, You're just a little too late.

Top 10 Journey Songs

From the ashes of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch born this beast of a band in San Francisco in 1973. Full of artistic ups and downs, Journey’s strongest times were between 78′ and 87′ when Steve Perry was the lead vocalist.

For some of us, they are the band that wrote “that song from 80’s movies(Song #3),” and for some of us, they’re the summit of our teenage years. Let’s take a look at the top 10 songs of this amazing band!

Table of Contents

1. In My Lonely Feeling / Conversations

Released in one of their earliest albums ‘Journey’, the band influenced by the psychedelic feels of their previous bands, decided to take on a memorable riff that has you bobbing your head for days. 

Here’s a link to the performance at Winterland:

2. Nickel & Dime 

Journey got you covered with this 1977 instrumental, this track is filled with energy and real rock n’ roll. A classic hit from their third album that cannot be skipped! 

Here’s a link to the instrumental: 

3. Look Into The Future

We all like to reminiscence every now and then, or ‘reflect’ for those that don’t want to admit it. With all their emotions literally felt through the song, this song is probably the best option for a get together. 

Here’s a link to the winner of the list: 

4. It’s All Too Much

It’s summer, burgers are nearly done and in the meanwhile you’re nibbling on chips whilst you’re trying to dance in a socially acceptable manner. You just can’t help but shake it with this song! 

Here’s a link to the track: 

Released in their third album, this song meets the criteria of ‘I want a song that’s perfect start to my drive’. 

Here’s a link to your new Sing-A-Long track: 

6. Sweet & Simple

I mean, the song is sweet and simple… 

Here’s a link to something that will have you in your feels: 

7. Natural Thing

Soulful & genuine, the vocals alone will have you in a trance for the whole 3 mins. 

Here’s a link to that long needed shower song: 

Compared to the likes of Hendrix, this rockin’ piece will help you move on and let go of whatever it is that made you want to listen to this in the first place. 

Here’s a link: 

9. Any Way You Want It 

This opening track of Departure is an immense, energy-filled, good vibes track. It is usually used as the last song on any Journey show. Finishing in a  high tune like that is an experience that sticks in a good way. If you haven’t heard this song in 2010 during the heavily saturated world of Glee advertisements everywhere on your screen, then you’re quite lucky. 

Here’s a link to probably one of the second most famous Journey songs:

10. Keep on Runnin’ 

You’re missing out on that Journey tribute that’s going on in town? Don’t fret, this performance will have you feeling like you’re back in 1981! 

Here’s a link to the song: 

11. Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’ 

From the romantic mind of Perry, this extremely personal song about a relationship (which is believed to be inspired by true events) was the band’s first song to break into the Billboard top twenty, and It peaked at number 16.

12. Only The Young 

As you can guess from the title, this song is about the infinite promise and freedom of youth. Unfortunately, there’s a sad story about this song; this song was played to a 16-year-old fan with cystic fibrosis as part of a request from Make a Wish Foundation. Unfortunately, the fan died a day later, leaving the band with a broken heart.

13. Wheel In the Sky 

Started slowly by peaking at number 57 in the US – this song has gone on to become one of the strong Journey classics.

14. Lights 

One of the first Journey songs featuring Steve Parry, this one also started as a minor hit (#68 on charts) but became one of the signature songs.

15. Who’s Crying 

This soulful piece is Dressed in a beautiful piano riff. It is one of the most successful songs of the band. Peking at #4 in the US and becoming the highest UK charting Journey single at the time.

16. Open Arms 

This track is also one of the most successful songs of the band, earning them their highest position on the Billboard 100 (#2). Song was introduced to a wider and more contemporary audience by becoming a staple of many pop artists’ covers, including Mariah Carey.

17. Faithfully 

One of the most powerful Journey songs. Written by Jonathan Cain on the road and was completed very quickly (which the religious Cain puts down to divine intervention). 

18. Separate Ways 

The song tells the story of a couple who have broken up and gone their separate ways but will still always share a connection because of the time they spent together. As some of us know as ” that song from the 80s’ movies.”

19. Don’t Stop Believin’ 

The most iconic song of this band. This amazing song taken from 1981’s Escape is one of the most anthem-like catchy rock songs of all time.

The Best of Rock

Journey Songs Ranked

Journey  is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred between 1978 and 1987 when Steve Perry was the lead vocalist. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including “Don’t Stop Believin’” (1981), which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history among songs not released in the 21st century.  Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s seventh and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers including Arnel Pineda as a lead since December 2007. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, Journey has sold 48 million albums in the U.S., making them the 25th best-selling band. Their worldwide sales have reached nearly 100 million records globally, making them one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time. A 2005 USA Today opinion poll named Journey the fifth-best U.S. rock band in history.  Their songs have become arena rock staples and are still played on rock radio stations across the world. Journey ranks No. 96 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Here are all Journey’s songs ranked.

Don’t miss out on one of the world’s best-selling bands, Journey. Click below and listen to the timeless songs from one of the world’s best rock bands.

20. Escape (Escape, 1981)

“It’s one of the more creative and powerful, musically complex in a great way, rock songs ever, filled with a youthful, optimistic energy and joy at taking on life, head-on. The song has everything, and it’s not another stupid rock song about sex.”

19. Still They Ride (Escape, 1981)

“Outstanding song. It just always puts me in a good mood. I don’t know what it is about it, but it should be much much higher on the list.”

18. After All These Years (Revelation, 2008)

“A song of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Amazing new song that touch everyone’s heart and soul. What a beautiful song with passion on long lasting love.”

17. Chain Reaction (Frontiers, 1983)

“Really like Chain Reaction, also, and think it’s too far down on the list. It’s hard driving and unusual, in the “love gone south” vein of songs, that lyric, “Love’s a viper, steals your soul” a deep expression of negative aspects of what a relationship not going right can do to a person, which the emptiness of the “What now? ” sort of theme expresses. It’s a sophisticated view, for a thinking, adult person, and the music a perfect match. Whatever people say, complaining of Journey being, as if, a corporate rock band, you can argue against their musical sophistication and tight quality of presentation, polish lacking in many, many other bands. Whatever Journey did, they did it well, like the song or not.”

16. Ask the Lonely (Frontiers, 1983)

“This song exhibit the best guitar solo and of the best choirs melody of Journey repertory with Steve Perry as lead vocal.”

15. I’ll Be Alright Without You (Raised on Radio, 1986)

“The bass line in this song is so classy and orgasmic. Props to Ross on this one, the bass really sets the mood. Amazing song.. One of my favorites.. If not the best journey song ever

14. Stone in Love (Escape, 1981)

“Awesome lead vocals by Perry, backed up by wonderful harmonies. But this song is all Neal Schon. Classic throaty guitar riff throughout with a soaring guitar solo outro. This song is very nearly the hallmark of Journey.”

13. Girl Can’t Help It (Raised on Radio, 1986)

“This song is underrated! The music, lyrics, and vocals are all so perfect. Steve Perry truly has a “golden voice” and this song showcases his immense talent. And, as an interesting sidebar, Randy Jackson (from American Idol fame) played bass and sang back-up vocals for this song – laugh out loud.”

12. Be Good to Yourself (Raised on Radio, 1986)

“Totally 80s rock journey has changed throughout the years (the style) I love it all. Excellent intro, amazing guitar solo, awesome lyrics, gets you hyper. Great song to listen to on a sunny day”

11. Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’ (Evolution, 1979)

“Powerful drum/bass to begin, major lead guitar/vocals in the middle, and pure awesome taunting at the the end. The na-nas in this song actually aren’t just there for fun.”

10. Who’s Crying Now (Escape, 1981)

“I’m a true music conoseur and a metal listener but this song has got to be one of, or if not the greatest song of all time, right up there with my most beloved metal songs.”

9. Only the Young (Frontiers, 1983)

“There are many songs from journey that don’t get the recognition they should, not just the music, but the lyrics The group stand alone in expertise in their field. How I wish I could play half as well as any of them, especially Neil Schon,”

8. Send Her My Love (Frontiers, 1983)

“Truthfully, I haven’t heard this song in a long time (if at all), but the title is conveying “this is a song like Faithfully”. I’m making a mental note to pull these up on YouTube.”

7. Lights (Infinity, 1978)

“This is by far their best song, no question about it. It is way better than Don’t Stop Believing and honestly just a perfect song overall. The part at 1:07 is just amazing.”

6. Open Arms (Escape, 1981)

“Open Arms captures Journey at it’s best. Cain stays just enough in the background, Perry shows his power without pushing and if you saw it live, it shows why Perry and Schon were so good together. Beautiful!”

5. Wheel in the Sky (Infinity, 1978)

“Steve’s voice in this songs is crystal! This is right when he joined the band and when his voice was virgin perfect! Great lyrics too! I like his voice best when he sang faithfully when it was seasoned a bit more and more manly, but either way this guy truly has a voice that is a gift from god for all of us to hear. I think he is the best singer in the world, no kidding!”

4. Any Way You Want It (Departure, 1980)

“This was the first Journey song I listened to, I loved the kind of immediate start, the guitar riffs and solo, and Steve Perry is just great in this song.

3. Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) (Frontiers, 1983)

“This is one of those songs I love turning way up and rolling down my windows and I will have young and old singing with me. Seriously, it has happened so many times. Journey is my all time favorite band and I listen to their cd’s ever single day and never get sick of any of their music. If Steve didn’t sing I don’t think I would listen to it because his voice truly made that band! I miss you Steve!”

2. Faithfully (Frontiers, 1983)

“The most heartfelt song ever written. This is definitely my favorite song on earth. This song is one of those songs that starts out slow and then has that amazing climax at the end, which not many songs have. It literally tears my heart out and I want to cry every time I hear it, but in a good way. Perry is the best singer in the world and the way he holds a tune for as long as he does and hits the notes at the perfect pitch is definitely god given! I wish he was still singing. Nobody can match him ever!”

1. Don’t Stop Believin’ (Escape, 1981)

“Absolutely! This is not only the best Journey song but one of the top 10 rock songs ever! Every time this song comes on people of all walks and music tastes stop and start blaring this song out! Any song that can do that has elevated itself to music supremacy.”

The definitive Journey playlist

Though the lineup has changed, Journey is still going strong. Since the mid-1970s, the band has been a staple on the arena and mainstream rock scene. Journey's songs have aged exceptionally well. Here is our ranking of their 20 best songs.

20. "Send Her My Love"

A top-25 hit on Billboard 's Hot 100, " Send Her My Love " was part of 1983's Frontiers  album, which further earned the band success in rock, pop, and adult contemporary communities. At that moment, and perhaps more so in the future, ballads like this became some of Journey's most popular tracks. The band continued to make money, but classic rock fans were often turned off.

19. "To Play Some Music"

We're going back to the band's self-titled 1975 debut album for this track. "To Play Some Music" was the only single released from the album, and it's a song even some of Journey's biggest fans can't recall or have never heard. While it doesn't pack the same kind of arena-rock punch as some of Journey's better-known works from the 1970s, it's an example of the band's early progressive rock tendencies .

18. "For You"

Classic rock fans are well aware of Steve Perry's legendary vocal and songwriting contributions to Journey. Before that, Gregg Rolie serviceably performed vocal duties. Then, there was Robert Fleischman (Vinnie Vincent Invasion), who served as frontman for roughly six months in 1977. Though he co-wrote a couple of Journey's most popular tunes (more on that in a bit), he was never officially part of a studio album. "For You," the only released Journey track with Fleischman on vocals, did not come out until 1992's Time 3  box set.

17. "Patiently"

Over the years, Journey has been known for its penchant for writing and performing ballads. The truly popular ones feature Steve Perry on vocals. " Patiently " goes back to 1978's Infinity , the band's first album with Perry, who co-wrote this track with Neal Schon. "Patiently" has often been lost in the shadows of other more recognizable tracks on the album, but it's a worthwhile listen.

16. "Too Late"

" Too Late " was released as a single off 1979's Evolution  album, but it's probably regarded as a deep cut for the casual Journey fan. It's one of Journey's more soulful tunes but still has that signature mass melodic sound we've come to appreciate from the group. This tune also laid the foundation for the radio/MTV-friendly sound during the 1980s.

15. "Be Good to Yourself"

By the time Raised  on  Radio  was released in 1986, Journey was essentially a three-piece made up of Steve Perry, Neal Schon, and Jonathan Cain. The group also took on more of a pop sheen with its music now regularly heard in dentist offices throughout America. "Be Good To Yourself" is a pure radio-friendly,  pop bombast. It was also a top-10 hit on Billboard 's Hot 100 and the highlight of the album.

14. "Who's Crying Now"

Speaking of Jonathan Cain. When the former Babys member joined this band before the release of Escape  (1981), he helped Journey go from a respectable rock outfit to a mainstream giant. Cain's songwriting and Perry's workmanship and unique voice allowed Journey to crossover into the pop world of FM radio and Top 40. "Who's Crying Now" was the first single off Escape  (which topped Billboard 's 200 chart). The somewhat bluesy, smoky number showcased the chemistry Perry and Cain were building as songwriters. It peaked at No. 4 on the Hot 100.

13. "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)"

Sure, "Separate Ways" gets mocked for the band playing their air instruments in the famed music video that seemed to encapsulate 1980s mainstream rock. Still, the first single off Frontiers  is one of the group's most popular tunes and reached No. 8 on the Hot 100 — the highest-charting track from the album. The '80s were about overindulgence, and Journey did its part with this corporate-rock performance.

12. "Only the Young"

The history of "Only the Young" is interesting. Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain, and Neal Schon wrote the song, but Patty Smyth's band Scandal first recorded it in 1984. The next year, Journey made its version , the most recognizable of the two, which earned popularity on the Vision  Quest soundtrack and a No. 9 spot in the Hot 100. Who can forget the motivational tune blaring underneath the image of Louden Swain (Matthew Modine) running through the streets of Spokane in a silver plastic workout suit?

11. "Open Arms"

When Jonathan Cain and Steve Perry brought "Open Arms "  to the table, guitarist Neal Schon wondered what his role in the song would be. The quintessential power ballad of the 1980s, the song was a slow-dance must at junior high and high school dances. The  Escape  closer reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 and was another example of Cain's excellence on the piano and Journey's presence as a mainstream rock force.

10. "Faithfully"

The Escape  album had "Open Arms." Frontiers ' popular power ballad was " Faithfully ." A token song about a musician's life on the road and the strain it can put on a relationship, the track reached No. 12 on the Billboard  Hot 100 chart. Over the years, "Faithfully" has enjoyed significant success, receiving consistent airplay and spanning mediums, such as television. Most notably on the NBC hit Glee .

9. "Mother, Father"

As far as Journey deep cuts go, this might be the best of the bunch. From Escape , the song was never released as a single, and at 5 minutes, 29 seconds, it is the longest song on the album. It's an emotional piece with a family dynamic theme that highlights the overall musicianship of the group. "Mother, Father" is an underrated gem amid a record full of classics that have regularly overshadowed this track through the years. 

8. "Just the Same Way"

The vocal sharing ability of Gregg Rolie and Steve Perry helped draw more attention to Journey in the late '70s. One of the better examples of that came on " Just the Same Way " from  Evolution . Now, the modest resentment Rolie held when Perry joined the group was no secret, but together, the pair delivered stellar harmonic work. This track also showcases some of Steve Smith's better drumming with the band.

7. "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'

This was Journey's first Top 40 hit on the United States Billboard  Hot 100 (peaking at No. 16). A stellar moment from Evolution , the track is another classic/arena-rock staple produced by a band whose best music came during the 1970s but wasn't really celebrated until the 1980s. Steve Perry was solely responsible for a song that solidified him as the driving force behind the group's success in the '70s.

6. "Wheel in the Sky"

Written by Neal Schon, Robert Fleischman, and former bassist Ross Valory's wife, Diane. However, Fleischman was out of the band before the popular track was recorded for the Infinity  album. With Steve Perry aboard and lending his vocal chops to the song, "Wheel in the Sky" blossomed into a classic rock  staple that cracked the top 60 on Billboard 's Hot 100. No offense to Fleischman, but can we hear anyone else singing the initial version than Perry?

5. "Feeling That Way"/"Anytime"

Though "Anytime" was released as a single off Infinity in 1978, these two songs truly sound well when paired together , which has long been the preference of FM and classic-rock radio over the years. Gregg Rolie's piano and vocals kick off "Feeling That Way" before Steve Perry's voice takes over and the track picks up its tempo. It eventually leads into "Anytime," one of Rolie's most memorable vocal moments with a little support from Perry.

4. "Stone in Love"

Though " Stone in Love " was never officially released as a U.S. single off Escape , it remains a classic rock favorite. That's thanks, in large part, to the after-the-fact, consistent play on radio over the years — back when rock fans regularly listened to music on traditional radio formats. It's one of the heavier tunes on Escape and harkens back to the late '70s arena rock sound that helped Journey's rise to fame.

3. "Any Way You Want It"

This Departure  hit  (No. 23 on the Hot 100) is a rollicking good time and an example of the band at its arena-rock best. Yes, Journey would soon become more commercial and accessible to the masses, but this track shows just how strong of a rock group the band was during the 1970s. "Any Way You Want It" should also be familiar to fans of the classic comedy Caddyshack .

2. "Lights"

At the time of its release on Infinity , " Lights " didn't even crack the top 50 on  Billboard 's Hot 100. Over the years since, however, the song has become a longtime favorite on classic-rock radio and remains one of the most popular tracks within Journey's catalog. According to an interview Steve Perry gave to Joe Benson in December 2000, he started writing what would be "Lights" while living in Los Angeles. That city is the subject of the song. He then turned it into a more San Francisco-related tune once joining Journey, which hailed from the Bay Area.

1. "Don't Stop Believin'"

Perhaps the best way to describe "Don't Stop Believin'" is "iconic." At the time of its release, the Escape  opener , complete with Jonathan Cain's memorable piano intro , was an undisputed hit , reaching No. 9 on the Hot 100. But, in the decades following its release, the tune has become a massive pop-culture phenomenon. From its inclusion on the hit show  Glee  to the Chicago White Sox run to a World Series title in 2005 to that  memorable karaoke Family  Guy  moment ,  the song continues to live on for generations to enjoy.
