Look Into the Future

Notes: Journey: Neal Schon (vocals, guitar); Gregg Rolie (vocals, keyboards); Ross Valory (bass); Aynsley Dunbar (drums). Unlike most other prog-rock outfits of the mid-'70s, Journey was penning songs that could be both complex and accessible to pop/rock fans. The quartet's second release, 1976's LOOK INTO THE FUTURE, was for the most part a continuation of its debut release a year earlier, but had more of a mainstream rock edge. With each successive release, Journey was inching closer and closer to its best known arena-rock style of the late-'70s/early-'80s.

When one thinks of the archetypal power-ballad powerhouse Journey, it's hard not to automatically picture an arena full of fans hoisting cigarette lighters. While singer Steve Perry's voice was custom-made for Journey's heartbreaking love songs, guitarist Neal Schon had the hard rock chops to fire up their numerous melodic anthems, the combination making them one of the biggest bands of the 1980s. They started out as a prog-rock/fusion-oriented offshoot of Santana, but didn't break through until Perry was brought in to front the band in the late '70s. Nevertheless, after Perry's departure, the band eventually reunited and carried on with Perry soundalike Steve Augeri, playing for thousands of enraptured fans and recording new material.
