\"Jounrey<\/a>To the 1982 me, Journey was one my pillar bands. Kansas, Styx, Boston, and REO Speedwagon\u00a0and Journey all seemed to fit well together. Is it a coincidence that they all are named after location or transportation related things? I drove my REO Speedwagon on a Journey from Kansas of the river Styx all the way to Boston.<\/p>\n

After grooving on Journey’s Escape<\/em> I had to get more. Fortunately, that Columbia House catalog had Infinity <\/em>and Departure.\u00a0 <\/em>I had to be close to fulfilling my obligation to Columbis House by now. These back catalog acquisitions were just the thing to do that. I feel that I should remind those of you that might frown on the notion of dealing with Columbia House so much. I was in a very small community where the nearest place to buy music was 30 miles away. There was no amazon.com or any other way to effectively get music unless you had a car and some time. During regular life on campus, I had neither.<\/p>\n

I remember initially being disappointed by Infinity.<\/em> It sounded much more 70’s and less polished that Escape.\u00a0 It was Adam’s older brother Allan than convinced me to give it another listen. He specifically mention Wheel In The Sky <\/em>and Lights <\/em> as really good songs.\u00a0 I put it on the back burner and went on to Departure.<\/em><\/p>\n
