Journey Vinyl Records

Journey's blend of melodic hard rock, unshakeable anthemic hooks, and epic balladry helped define the sound of radio rock while accumulating 25 gold- and platinum-certified albums. The San Francisco-based act left behind progressive beginnings with the arrival of vocalist Steve Perry in 1976 on the group's fourth LP, Infinity, starting Journey's ascension to mainstream rock royalty. Between 1978 and 1987, the band notched a string of singles ("Wheel in the Sky," "Any Way You Want It," "Lights," "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'," "Don't Stop Believing," "Open Arms," "Separate Ways [Worlds Apart]"), whose huge guitars, soaring vocals, and singalong choruses have become permanent fixtures in the classic rock radio lexicon.
