SPIRIT! Alright, now you're talking. 12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus is one of my alltime favorite albums. The fuzz tone of Randy California was similar to that of Bachman's on songs like NoTime & Proper Stranger. They also liked to have the guitar solos travel across your headphones as do Bachman's. Stereo panning..a lost art. "When I Touch You" is a mindblowing song.
As for Journey, I like the songs better than the voice which sounds to me like Hard Rock's answer to Michael Bolten. Sorry! That's great to have somebody mention BC as an influence but he really didn't learn too many Burtonesque vocal moves in my book.

Spirit- they did I Got A Line On You , didn't they? And I LIKE Steve Perry's voice. (just not as much as Burton's!)

Yes they did that. You probably also have heard "Nature's Way" and possibly "Mr Skin" (killer sax--very funky, high energy song), both from the SARDONICUS LP. Two members split off to become Jo Jo Gunn whose big hit was "Run, Run, Run". I have one their LP's--the cover has the four bandmembers in bed with a 250 lp in the buff lady flying through the air towards them as they wait in eager anticapation. Was that too much information?

Yes! Thunder Island did-ot-for-me the same way "Come on By" did, when I was 15!~ Incidentally, Steve Perry is my second favorite (to B.C ) and I have all his piano music. too....but Steve Perry was a 'above average" piano musician, compared to B.C.'s genius.....

Best of Spirit has I Got A Line On You, 1984 and 5 of the 12 dreams among other goodies. One of those bands you tend to forget. And both the Jay Ferguson and Jo Jo Gunne singles were quite excellent take-offs on the Spirit sound.

I'm with you on the Journey notion. I did however always enjoy the effortless delivery of Steve Perry and am set back a step or two every time I hear "wheel in the sky".
"Mr. Skin" is a nasty little bit of pop culture and "the animal zoo" is someplace we all need to visit!
To carry a bit of everyone else's conversation into this one, Robert Plant is one of rocks best "screamers", Daltrey get the tears out from "behind blue eyes" and the Stones have a real bad boy thing about them.
But the Beatles are at the top of it all!

Well hello there, Mr. Kelly's Husband. Can't argue with the Beatles' assertion, since I had 10 of their LP's & just 45's of everyone else (even TGW until AmerWom).
Another good Spirit song which was released as a single (but stiffed) was "1984".."...knocking at your door/will you let it come/will you let it run your life!"

Hi Kelly's husband! Nice of you to pop in.

As is becoming more of the norm these days, VfD, we agree to disagree ;-)

But we were in the same band, I'm sure we could agree on some material! "Share The Land" certainly wouldn't be a problem for me.
