11 Best Journey Love Songs & Party Hits for a Wedding Playlist
Updated November 26, 2023 | Author: Matthew Campbell
Calling all Journey fans on the road tonight! Enjoy my list of the top Journey songs of all time. Journey was first formed in 1973.
Even though Steve Perry went his own way for the time being, we have to mention his most popular single released and played on the radio – “Oh Sherrie”. However, our favorite song was “Strung Out”.
I also have to mention my favorite current song by Journey is “After All These Years” and from their album Eclipse is “City Of Hope”.

Now, as a wedding music planner, I research popular and unique wedding songs to create personalized playlists for couples and help wedding pros curate crowd-cheering music.

My personal favorite is Send Her My Love on Frontiers. Steve Perry doesn’t try to max out his vocal chords and Neil does zoom through the guitar riffs. It’s well balanced and the word also being great could apply to everyone on the planet. Just my opinion but I’m willing to bet that other fans would agree. Thank you
Thanks for your comments John. I would agree that “Send Her My Love” is one of my favorites for the same reasons. I will add the song to the list. Neal’s riffs live now seem to overpower the show. Still hoping Steve joins the band one day again for a tour.
I have to agree with Kent and his order not because of their chart toppin status but just because those are my faves and the top three can also have a very gospel feel to them as a Christian woman but I mainly just love those songs
Thanks Cindy for your insight. We can all agree they are one of the greatest bands of all time!
All great songs. I agree with your top 4, but in a different order. There is a reason “Open Arms” charted higher than “Don’t Stop Believin'” and “Faithfully”. It’s a better song. I’d go:
1. Open Arms 2. Don’t Stop Believin 3. Faithfully 4. Separate Ways. and probably at 5. When You Love a Woman
Hi Kent. Thanks for the feedback. Yes, “Open Arms” I think had a wider mass appeal compared to any of their other songs at the time. Definitely a great list of songs!
On this list every song was a team effort, a big part was Steve Perry. No one else should sing them
Hi M Zak, I am still hoping that some day we will have a concert with Steve included before they get too old to perform.
