Top Ten Greatest Journey Albums

Don't Stop Believin', Stone in Love, Who's Crying Now, and Open Arms are all on Journey's greatest hits album and are undoubtedly four of their best works. Also, Mother, Father is my all-time favorite Journey tune. E5C4P3 is their only album to reach number one, and it does deserve that position, as well as my vote. This is also Journey's first album with pianist Jonathan Cain!

This album was mostly written by Cain. Why didn't they keep him as the lead writer after this amazing album? Nothing in their library tops it!

Powerful music - emotional and full of feeling. The public bought this album and drove the songs high on the charts.

Journey never rocked harder than on this epic 1983 album!

This album should be ranked higher... hit after hit.

This was when Perry first joined Journey. The lineup was fresh and eager to explore new musical directions. The results are indeed magical, and overall, they surpass everything more pop/synth-oriented that came afterward. Infinity doesn't get the credit it deserves as their best album simply because the band wasn't as well known when it came out. This one, ladies and gentlemen, is a classic!

Steve Perry never sang better than he did on this album, making it a clear winner. Escape is close, though.

Absolutely their best work. Every song on this album is an unquestionable testimony to the talent of Steve Perry. His long absence from music and performing has been a great loss to the music world and to all his devoted fans worldwide. I constantly play this particular album because I miss "The Voice" so much.

This album is definitely my favorite. The songs are wonderful, and Steve Perry's performance has an emotional depth that is both memorable and soulful.

Even though this album does not contain Journey's best song, it is absolutely their best collection.

I really disagree with Escape being considered the greatest Journey album. It's number one because of the top ten hits it produced, without a doubt. But song for song, Evolution is arguably one of the most brilliantly written rock albums, regardless of any other definitions. This should be a clear number one.

No question Journey's Evolution is the most consistent record they ever made, thanks to producer extraordinaire Roy Thomas Baker, who worked on several Queen albums. The songs are well blended, they absolutely rock, and it's a record that gets better as you play it!

Departure has the best album cover of any band ever! Mouse & Kelley outdid themselves on the art! Also, best song with "Any Way You Want It."

My favorite Journey LP. I had the 8-track, cassette, and CD. Love it... Really miss Steve Perry. I haven't bought a CD since he left.

Escape loses because Open Arms is on it. Departure doesn't have a bad track on it.

Best live CD ever recorded, in my opinion. Perry hits every single note clearly and precisely, Schon's playing is great, and the interaction between the band and the crowd is amazing. Overall, my favorite Journey album!

Such a great live album. It puts all the rest to shame.

One of the best live albums ever recorded!

This is one of Journey's best works in my opinion. With love ballads such as "When You Love a Woman," "When I Think of You," "Easy to Fall," and "Don't Be Down on Me Baby," or faster-paced rock songs like "Castles Burning," this album is classic Journey. And Steve Perry's magnificent voice truly soars on this album. This should be in the top 5.

I loved this album because Steve Perry's voice seemed richer, more mature, like a fine wine. His performance on "When You Love a Woman" and "It's the Rain" was so emotional.

This is easily the best Journey album. Every song is a winner, the musicianship is first-class, Steve Perry's vocals are on fire, and the mix is the best I've ever heard on any album.

Some good tunes on this - should be higher!

This album really captured all the good Journey stuff. I voted for this because I want it to be recognized since it has songs that no other albums had.
