Friday Playlist: JOURNEY

The theme for the Shermerville 3rd/4th grade girls soccer team names this fall is rock bands. We got Journey. Though I have no Journey records, I am familiar enough with their music to know their Greatest Hits album from the late 80s is kind of weak. This playlist is, if nothing else, less weak.

Picking a song to start the playlist was tough, since most Journey songs sound like they would make good 2nd songs. So I punted and went with one that the band themselves chose as a leadoff on one of their albums. Check out that last sentence: football and baseball allusions, but no soccer ones. The final song was easy to pick, because it's obligatory, but you have to listen to a long prog/jazz instrumental named after a comet before you get to it.
