I enjoyed the songs on this CD. Some of which I had heard, before some for the first time. Good CD

Everything promised, delivered. Very satisfied. Lots of old tunes brought back a lot of memories. They even dulled some of the memories I would rther forget.

This band is still performing. Steve Perry has to be..what? 55? No doubt..this album has the best of the best

Journey The Greatest Hits Collection is a great buy and a great price. I am now a proud ownerthat I can add to my I-phone.

This album does a great job of covering all the big songs from Journey's albums Infinity, Evolution, Departure, Escape, Frontiers, and Raised on Radio, plus a couple of excellent soundtrack cuts that have never previously been released on a Journey album. Each song features the one-of-a-kind voice of Steve Perry (the new guy is good, but not as good as Steve Perry) along with the instantly recognizable guitar of Neal Schon. Both of these guys are rock masters who belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame someday.

Journey was one of the bands whose sound defined 1980s pop music. They were able to craft beautiful love songs such as Faithfully and Open Arms, along with hard-rocking tracks such as Seperate Ways and Any Way You Want It, plus power ballads like Don't Stop Belivin' and Only The Young. The best songs are the ones from the Escape, Frontiers, and Raised on Radio albums, where Steve and Neal teamed up with Journey's best keyboardist, Jonathan Cain (sorry, Rolie fans). Jonathan not only contruibuted wonderful keyboarding, he is a talented songwriter, being responsible for Faithfully, which is one of the best love songs I've ever heard.

This CD is 15 tracks of Rock Gold. For most bands, 15 tracks is enough to cover their best work. But, not Journey. As great and as essential as this CD is, you also need to get their studio albums from this period to hear all their best work. Some of my personal favorites don't make it on here, especially After The Fall and Rubicon. So, once you hear the awesome sounds on this CD, I suggest you pick up their studio albums if you really want to get "the rest of the story" (sorry, Mr, Harvey).

Everything about this seemed right when I recieved this item until I listened to it. Good packaging, great vinyl very quiet. Only the mastering was off. The dynamic range was great but it was Mastered too bright. Why go to all this trouble to do everything right and Master it with little bass.

"Wheel in the Sky" and "Faithfully" are the best...and oh yeah, a song played at many a democratic party politic rallies, "Don't Stop Beleving." Steve Perry has a unique voice that takes the group to the "next level."

to those idiots who say journey is an awful band what do you listen to britney queers or what
you have some freakin nerve
music of today is awful and to say journey is awful just shows how much the youth of today does not know anything about music

This is a great HITS album, but if everybody would ask Steve Perry and the rest of Journey just to remaster this album ---ADDING---Steve's 2 solo hits : the great "OH SHERRIE and FOOLISH HEART ", we would all be in heaven. Adding there last group's biggest hit -"When you love a women", would put this classic hits album as the greatest of them all. I know I would buy it and alot of other people as well. This also will make the CD 18 songs instead of the short 15 and much more complete. SO LISTEN UP--JOURNEY and all the fans.

I paid $18.97 for this title and although the music is great, I expected to hear "Super Audio." What you get is a two channel listening experience. Buy the regular CD because this one does not make the grade.
