Yorost, your list is certainly...unconventional.
I really couldn't do a top 10 or top 20 Journey list much justice because it would look too much like a standard "greatest hits" disk that is mostly packed with the Perry hits. Wheel In The Sky (#1, for most of the reasons Yorost picked it), Lights, Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin', Any Way You Want It, a fair chunk of the Escape and Frontiers albums, and just a couple of newer songs, like Higher Place and Chain of Love. Mine would be pretty boring.
Well, actually, what the heck. Here's my top 10:
1. Wheel In The Sky - See Yorost's post.
2. Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) - To me, this song is quintessential rock with a catchy pop flair and hooks you can't ignore.
3. Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin' - I overlooked this song back in the Perry era for some reason and only really rediscovered it in the early 2000's, originally because of DT's use of it in The Big Medley. Really fun live song, and just a total blast to sing.
4. Faithfully - Terrific ballad. For most bands, I might include a ballad or maybe 2 tops in a top 10. Journey wrote a lot of really bad, cheesey ones, but they also really have a knack for writing amazing ones as well. This one just oozes emotion and atmosphere. One of my favorite ballads by anybody.
5. Stone in Love - Schon. Riff. Yeah.
6. Don't Stop Believin' - Overplayed? Yeah. But deservedly so. Like it or not, this is probably the most iconic Journey song, and for good reason. It's just so good. Part of me is surprised it isn't ranked higher on my list.
7. Chain of Love - Speaking of Schon and riffs... I was actually tempted to put this one or two spots higher, but it just seems almost blasphemous to put a post-Perry song above Don't Stop Believin'.
8. Lights - Stellar song. And if you're from the SF Bay Area, it has a little deeper meaning. If you've ever watched the sun set over San Francisco Bay and not had this song play in your head, you either have no taste in music or are just a tourist (or both).
9. Any Way You Want It - Another classic that had to make the list. Another fun song to cover in a band.
10. Who's Crying Now - Hard to put another ballad in here when there are so many good rockers high up on the list, but there's a lot to love about this song. Valory's prominent bass work really takes it up a notch.
Ones that just missed the cut:
Higher Place
Send Her My Love
Chain Reaction
La Raza Del Sol
...and a few from the first three albums.
