Speaking of Journey, on this list of the 50 top bands, Journey is way down at #41......and with Van Halen and Aerosmith rightfully being placed in the top 5, the number one pick is a bit of a shocker....check out this list of the top 50 American bands ever, compiled by the writers at Ultimateclassicrock.com: https://ultimateclassicrock.com/top-50-american-bands/
