Journey

Journey is an American band formed in San Francisco in 1973. Formed by Ex-Santana members Neal Schon and Gregg Rolie, they started off as a Jazzy Progressive Rock band with Gregg on vocals. However, since they had little success with Prog, they toned down their prog sound and added vocalist Robert Fleischman, but he would only play on a few demos and at a few shows before Steve Perry was picked up.
They did return to Prog a few times, like with the Soundtrack album Dream After Dream. From there, Journey became a huge powerhouse, helping pioneer Arena Rock alongside Boston. They went on to make Don't Stop Believing, which is one of the greatest songs of all time. Despite being huge in their native country, they also seem to have quite the following in Japan (the aforementioned Dream After Dream album was for a Japanese movie, and one of their compilation albums was released only in Japan).
