1.  Any Way You Want It
2.  Don't Stop Believin'  (First favorite Journey song.  Hey, it was the 2005 Sox song.)
3.  Faithfully
4.  Feeling That Way/Anytime  (Have these two songs ever been played separately on radio?)
5.  Girl Can't Help It
6.  Just the Same Way
7.  Lights  (My second favorite Journey song)
8.  Lovin', Touchin' Squeezin'  (3rd favorite)
9.  Open Arms
10.  The Party's Over
11.  Send Her My Love
12.  Separate Ways
13.  Still They Ride
14.  Stone In Love
15.  Too Late
16.  Walks Like a Lady
17.  Wheel in the Sky  (4th favorite)

Maybe They Should Be in the HoF.  --RoadDog
