I remember having some tickets booked for their UK tour, I only wanted to see Cheap Trick again who were supposed to be supporting Journey. The UK leg was scrapped due to poor ticket sales (no surprise there) fans of Cheap Trick knew that the arenas on UK soil are too big for Journey now, especially without Steve Perry and Ross Valory. I planned to see Cheap Trick and then walk out during the interval of Journey.

Jonathan and Neal should have looked in large theatres like the BIC. I can live without hearing Don't Stop Believing. I hated it then when it got overplayed. I remember taking my copy of Escape to a record shop for part exchange, the record dealer said "Please not another copy".

Going through the top 100.

Why does everything sound the same and have annoying digital effects, same beats and crap over dubs.

Journey are back in the charts for some odd reason. In the mid 1980s people dropped Journey for bands like Ratt, Poison, Mr Big, Tesla, Danger, Danger and Winger. These bands were dropped for grunge. Then there was not much after grunge apart from nu-metal like Korn and thrash metal like Slipknot and Cradle of Filth.

Is music dead or changing for the worse?

I thought Mr Big were the kings of AOR back in the early 1990s.

The only Mr Big I like are the British one's who had this massive top five hit in 1977. This week in '77 this was top ten having slipped from its No4 peak to No9.

Mr Big - Romeo.

I remember another top five hit from what seemed like another Mr Big in 1992, maybe this lot you mention, To Be With You, which I absolutely hated. Funnily enough this other Mr Big were also top five this very week 15 years later in '92, rising No8 to No3. I never understood why this was such a (mister) big hit. 127M views on You Tube, and someone from Japan saying it was the first Western song they ever heard and will listen to forever. Not for me. Boring as hell middle of the road American soft rock.

I have never heard Romeo by (UK) Mr Big it's like they they listen to the Arrows then dropped some LSD with Incredible String Band. I will be looking for their records.



The (US) Mr Big with - To Be With You is when I knew that rock was becoming more and more corporate and commercial-like country pop.

I can't believe you have never heard that enormous 1977 top five Romeo track.

Looking at your Mr Big on the thumbnail there, looking more like 1990's Take That with the five piece shirtless look.

Passed me by Rich for some odd reason Rich.
