A [[Five-Man Band]] formed in 1973. Released a string of multi-platinum hits from the late [[The Seventies|seventies]] to mid-[[The Eighties|eighties]]. Along the way, they became one of the most popular rock and roll bands in America, and quite possibly the definitive [[Arena Rock]] group of the decade. Ask anyone to name an '80s band and Journey will probably be one of the first names that pops out. Tuning in to any soft rock or easy-listening radio station gives you a roughly 80% chance of hearing one of their songs at any given moment.

Not to be confused with 3 video games of the same name, including [[Journey (2012 video game)|the one released in 2012]]. <ref>Cause everyone in the industry [[A Worldwide Punomenon|has already made that joke.]]</ref>

* [[Alternate DVD Commentary]]: [http://youtu.be/nZrjg48jHLw This parody] of "Separate Ways" by Literal Video. Hysterical!
* [[Artistic License Geography]]: There is no such place as "south Detroit" - indeed, if one were to go south from downtown Detroit, one would end up in the strait of Lake Erie, and after that, Windsor, Ontario.
Line 56:
* [[List Song]]: the title track to 1986's ''Raised on Radio''.
* [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Steve Perry, to the point that the man himself fetishized and parodied this trope during his solo tour for ''For The Love of Strange Medicine''.
* [[New Sound Album]]: When Journey started up in 1973, it was a jazz-fusion band influenced by Latin music and psychedelia (Rolie and Schon, the two leaders of the early group, were both former members of [[Santana (band)|Santana]]) which mostly served as a showcase for Schon's guitar skills. The addition of Steve Perry on the album ''Infinity'' started a transitional period where they sounded very similar to Zeppelin or Queen, and the replacement of Gregg Rolie with synth-maestro Jonathan Cain for ''Escape'' completed the shift to the melodic [[
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Averted. Journey has had three Steves, two at the same time: Steve Perry (lead singer), Steve "Smitty" Smith (drummer) and Steve Augeri (lead singer following Perry's departure from the band).
* [[Painted-On Pants]]: Steve Perry wears these in the "Just The Same Way" video.
Line 68:
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: The aforementioned Bad English supergroup, which was really a successor to both Journey ''and'' the Babys.
* [[Step Up to the Microphone]]: Current drummer Deen Castronovo (who played in Bad English with Schon and Cain) is a pretty accomplished rock singer himself, and often performs a few songs from behind his kit during live shows.
* [[The Svengali]]: Herbie Herbert, band manager. Dear god, the man claims all the credit for founding Journey, to the point where he was playing group members off each other in a continual power struggle to keep his "creative" vision.

* [[Talky Bookends]]: The video for [[Face of the Band|Steve Perry's]] solo number-one hit, "Oh Sherrie". It starts as a [[Concept Video]] set in the Middle Ages, but the music grinds to a halt and we discover we're on the set for the video. Perry gets disgusted with the video storyline (which has nothing to do with the song), walks off the set and ends up singing the song to his girlfriend as she walks up. The video ends with everyone getting back into position to film the "real" video again, as Perry walks out.
** Played straight with the long video version of ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atxUuldUcfI Anyway You Want It]'', which is bookended by shots of Steve Perry selecting the song from jukebox.
