I agree that this was a great song to end the great Soprano’s!

In a word, YES! This is another great pick for your top 5. I agree that no 80s countdown would be complete without Journey, and Escape definitely meets your “three great songs equal a great album” criteria.

I’m a little sad this theme is coming to a close, but I can’t wait to see what’s number 1!!

Ah, Journey—great pick—and well deserved placement on your list. Great song, great album. And I’m surprised Amy favors Open Arms, particularly since this song was also used so effectively during the Clinton-Gore campaign.

Well, I’ve attempted to embed the great clip of the Glee kids singing this great Journey tune, but it doesn’t seem to want to cooperate. Maybe it went to Spam for some reason? If you can recover it, do yourself a favor and pop it up here – pure delight

And, of course, this song made a huge splash as the final song over the blackout “what the —– ?” final credits of The Sopranos. I don’t know that a song has ever been used more effectively.

I still prefer “Open Arms”
