There was a time I liked them. Then all my friends went to a Bryan Adams / Journey concert that for some reason I wasn't able to go to. Don't remember if it was Work or Football Practice. But basically after that every time we got together they had to play those cassettes and talk about how great the concert was. That combined with huge overplay on the radio and MTV I just grew to hate Journey, Steve Perry and anything that sounded like them.
Now my 20 year old son is big fan and i want to puke...
