The band Journey has sold over 75 million albums worldwide, had 18 top 40 hits and “Don’t Stop Believin’” is the top selling catalog track on iTunes. It goes without saying that arena rock like this is tailor made for young kids to dance to. It seems a little harder for the tykes to get into the ballads than the rock anthems but here are three reasons why your kid will dig Journey.
3. Haircuts
Check out any picture of Journey from the late seventies to the early eighties and your kids will ask why their hair looks like a shaggy lion’s mane. Even current pictures of the band’s line up prove that Journey are still rockin’ some awesome do’s.
2. Album covers
Get past the first three albums Journey released in the seventies and you’ll see a pattern emerge. Each album beginning with Infinity is multi-colored offering out of this world imagery on what seems like a psychedelic trip. The art work is cool for parents but fascinating for kids as well.
1. So What? – So let’s dance!
Now I am fully aware that you would have to be a derelict parent in order to let your youngster check out the rated-R Caddyshack. But it couldn’t hurt to let them check out the few seconds where Rodney Dangerfield cranks “Anyway You Want It” from his golf bag.
