    Written and performed by the guy who got fired by Roger Waters :roll:

    Journey? Really?

    Yes Journey, their a classic band to me, you have a problem with that?
    To each is own, but I think they're terrible. Absolute cheese with absolutely no substance. The Nickelback of the 70s/80s. Not trying to pick a fight, just surprised to see them on the list.

    You're right, they're a joke and not classic artists in the slightest. They're guitar player tried to kick Santana out of Santana for cryin out loud. I'm not sayin I don't have any Journey on my ipod, but they're 100% in the guilty pleasure category.... Don't Stop Believin got too much buzz from being used in the Sopranoes finale.
