Journey was formed in San Francisco in 1973 by former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has undergone numerous transitions, although they were the most commercially successful between 1978 and 1987. The band released their hit song “Don’t Stop Believing” in 1981, which became the top-selling track on iTunes for a song that wasn’t released in the 21st century.

In 2005, a USA Today poll ranked Journey as the fifth-best U.S. rock band in history. Today, their songs can be heard in sporting arenas and on rock radio stations around the world.
