Ross Valory‘s aptly titled solo debut All of the Above returns Journey‘s original bassist to his rangy ’70s-era roots. Genres once again serve as mere speed bumps on a free-wheeling instrumental ride that very much connects with Journey’s self-titled debut and their often-overlooked soundtrack work on Dream After Dream. The album was produced by Valory and co-produced by Night Ranger‘s Eric Levy and Jacob Stowe, with musical contributions from former bandmate Steve Smith, Greg Errico of Sly and the Family Stone, current members of Santana, Neal Schon‘s son Miles, and Tubes co-founder Prairie P...

Journey‘s Greatest Hits album has reached a rare plateau by notching its 800th week on the Billboard 200. Only two other acts, Pink Floyd and then Bob Marley, have ever achieved this feat. Dark Side of the Moon got there in 2012, while Marley’s Legend hit 800 weeks just last September. Journey’s Greatest Hits made its Billboard 200 debut back on Dec. 3, 1988, boasting a pair of Top 5 hits, four Top 10 hits, and three Top 20 hits — along with lower-charting must-have favorites like “Lights,” “Any Way You Want It,” “Send Her My Love” and “Wheel in the Sky.” The LP peaked at No. 10 on Feb. 11, 19...

Journey managed to release one of the most talked-about clips in MTV history during their brief time making videos. As you’ll see below in our ranking of every Journey music video, however, there were plenty of other high and low points beyond the ubiquitous “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart).” Because of their relatively small video catalog, we’ve expanded the rankings to include closely related clips from Steve Perry, Bad English (which included three members of Journey’s current lineup), Gregg Rolie and Neal Schon. That serves to provide a broader overview of their career arc from the ’70s throu...

For fans from their radio-ready zenith, there simply can be no Journey without Steve Perry. Yet the truth of the matter is, Journey was started without him – and the band has continued in the same way since his departure in 1998. In fact, Perry has been gone for far longer than he ever was actually in Journey, a stint that began with 1978’s Infinity. More than a half dozen others have fronted Journey songs along the way. Of course, the decade that followed Perry’s arrival would see the group reign supreme on the charts, making his association with Journey complete. They’d never had a gold reco...

The biggest song in music history is now a rock song, and that honor belongs to none other than Journey with their 1981 hit, “Don’t Stop Believin’.” Earlier this year, the song took a major jump forward when the RIAA revisited the band’s sales history and noted that the track was now certified for selling more than 18 million units. This consists of pure song sales as well as consumed music streams. According to Forbes, this now moves the song technically into a tie with Post Malone and Swae Lee’s “Sunflower” at the 18 million certification mark, which for now gives it the title of being the b...

Journey had never gotten higher than No. 85 on the Billboard album chart when new frontman Steve Perry walked in the door in 1977. They went on to sell an astonishing nine million albums in the U.S. alone before Jonathan Cain joined in 1980, and Journey somehow got even bigger. Their next four albums were all Top 5 smashes, and they were all platinum or multi-platinum. Perry’s first record with Cain sold more than 10 million copies. Journey had also never had a charting single before Perry arrived. By the time he split with the group in the late ’90s, they’d racked up 16 Top 25 singles – inclu...

Original bassist Ross Valory has had time to put his ugly split with Journey into perspective. “What an amazing experience,” he tells Rolling Stone. “I am so blessed to have spent the better part of 50 years in a band that’s remarkable. All the fine players and singers that have come through the room that I had the privilege of performing with, including the current players. These are all brilliant, talented people, whether they are present in the band or not.” Valory initially met Herbie Herbert when the future Journey mastermind was working as a manager of the Bay Area psych-rock band Frumio...

Journey drummer Deen Castronovo has given insight on the recent turmoil within the band, noting how difficult it was to observe the discourse between Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain. The drama between Schon and Cain stemmed from millions of dollars charged to a company credit card. The musicians took public shots at the other, and the battle led to lawsuits from both sides. Somehow, the bandmates managed to tour together in 2023, but it was an uncomfortable situation to say the least. “Everybody was separate,” Castronovo explained during an appearance on The Jeremy White Show. “And it was hard fo...
