An anthemic arena rock outfit that achieved massive success in the 1970s and '80s, Journey's agreeable blend of melodic hard rock and epic balladry has resulted in 25 gold and platinum-certified albums. The San Francisco-based act's early efforts combined jazz fusion and progressive rock elements. The arrival of vocalist Steve Perry, who made his studio debut on the group's fourth LP, Infinity, heralded the beginning of 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)") that have become permanent fixtures in the classic rock radio lexicon. A long hiatus preceded the release of 1996's Trial By Fire, which would serve as Perry's last outing with the group. Since then, Journey has remained a constant endeavor for founding guitarist Neil Schon, who has led the band through two lead singers – Steve Augeri from 1998 to 2006 and Arnel Pineda from 2007 until the present – and five more studio albums, including Arrival (2001), Revelation (2008), and Freedom (2022).
