Does anyone really believe "can't stop believing" is the most requested song?
I usually love Sirius, I have had it for more than a year but the last few days I have been going out of my fucking mind as they are playing Journey atleast once every forty five minutes.

They are doing this on practically every channel. The only channel I listen to I have not heard Journey on is Sirius 22.

Journey Again!

It is bad enough that they play the hip-hop drive-by's on the english language every ten minutes "Drank", "Thurd", "Way I Are"

And they aren't just playing "can't stop believing" they are playing other Journey songs!

I hated Journey 25 years ago!

Everyone is going to miss Tony, but can't we honor him in another way?

2. You know what's really funny?
No one seems to know what the title is! They think the song is "Don't Stop Believing." Wrong! The actual title is "Don't Stop--Be Leaving!"

3. Journey sucks



...and the song sucks. It sucked when it came out and it hasn't improved with time.

BTW, I've never heard Journey on Sirius 32.

Cheers

5. It sounds like a good time to create a Sirius/Journey drinking game.
Edited on Tue Jun-19-07 11:22 PM by ChoralScholar
Don't Stop Believing = 1 sip
Separate Ways (worlds apart) = 2 sips
Faithfully or Open Arms = cry in your drink
Steve Perry Solo Song = chug

Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin' = alcohol+narcotic assisted suicide

6. Steve Perry fills his time these days by calling in to request the song.
It's the only possible explanation.

9. Steve Perry could pick up and
go on the road anytime he wants. I heard him on some movie soundtrack, and on someones background vocals recently... he's still got it.

10. Steve Perry's still got it, and we can all thank Christ...
...that lately he's had the simple human decency to keep it to himself.

11. Hehe....not a Perry fan, I guess?
Being a voice teacher, I look at it from an academic point of view - to do what he does, for as long as he's been doing it, is a rare vocal feat.

14. That's true enough.
It's kind of like a 40 year old pitcher still throwing fastballs in the mid to high 90's.

Certainly two guys I like have lost some of the upper end of their range as they've aged. (Robert Plant and Jon Anderson)

Thank goodness chops aren't necessary for a sublime musical performance. (Sometimes they even get in the way of one.)

16. Agreed...
Perry still sings that high C crystal clear.

I've heard Billy Joel say that when he wrote his songs, he wasn't thinking of a 50 year old Billy Joel still singing them - if he were, he would have pitched them lower.

15. I have a confession.
Edited on Wed Jun-20-07 01:04 AM by Starbucks Anarchist
I wouldn't normally like the song, but with the fact that it's so catchy and so intertwined with The Sopranos now, I might have to download it.
