Journey

Journey's music is characterized by its fusion of melodic rock and progressive elements, creating a sound that has resonated across generations. Formed in 1973 in San Francisco, the band emerged from the roots of musicians who had been part of Santana and other groups. Over time, Journey evolved into a more accessible and commercial style, especially after the arrival of vocalist Steve Perry in 1978, who brought a powerful and emotive voice that became the band's distinctive hallmark. This change not only redefined their sound but also catapulted Journey to stardom in the 1980s, achieving sales exceeding 75 million records worldwide.One of the key moments in Journey's career was the release of the album Escape in 1981, which included classics like «Open Arms» and «Don't Stop Believin'».

The latter has become a timeless anthem, being the best-selling song in iTunes history among tracks not released in the 21st century. The band continued to reap success with their album Frontiers in 1983, which also generated a series of popular singles and solidified their place in the music scene of the time.Throughout their career, Journey has experimented with their sound, starting with a more progressive approach in their early works, such as the 1975 self-titled album and Look into the Future from 1976, which showcased their skill in jazz-fusion and rock. However, it was with the album Infinity in 1978 that the band began incorporating more pop arrangements, allowing them to reach a wider audience.
