Episode 107 is here, the wheel gives us one of the biggest rock bands of all time, Journey. As usual the wheel does it’s thing and doesn’t give us a well known album, but it gives us 1977’s Next. Is it Progressive or AOR? Stay Tuned!
Next is the third studio album by Journey, released in February 1977. The band continued the formula from 1976’s Look into the Future but this album also retains some of their jazzy progressive rock style from the first album. It is the last album to feature Gregg Rolie as the primary lead singer, and the last album to feature members of the band on the cover. “Spaceman”/”Nickel and Dime” was the single released from Next.
