Journey is Hair Band?
Gotta love the West coast delay sometimes. Thanks!
Yeah, I was totally thinking about why I preferred John Taylor before this conversation. He was sort of quiet and mysterious. Also tall. Never was into the androgyny thing.
Heaven is a Funky Moose...
John Taylor is really low down on my list of "not androgynous", even when compared to the others in the band (tripod--might require pasting the link into a new window).
Journey is Hair Band?
Not really, but they were huge in the 80s [link] In addition to Don't Stop Believing, they did songs such as: Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'; Lights; Who's Crying Now, Send Her My Love; Open Arms (ubiquitous prom song); and Faithfully (ditto).

Most of the US music that's very absent in my data banks is Hair Band, so I guessed at Journey belonging in that group. Not sure why the band never percolated through into my Top of the Pops. None of those songs seem familiar.

Lucky you.
ita, the singer for Journey (Steve Perry) sang the "Oh, there's a choice we're making / We're saving our own lives" on We Are The World.
If that helps.
(We spent about an hour at work last week obsessing over Steve Perry and Journey.)
I must have been in one of the few places in Europe that actually played a lot of American pop. Very small town and big Navy base. It took over most of the bars and clubs in town when it came to dance music. Not that all of Journey was danceable to, but the ballads made great macking music for the dance floor.
