Not that anyone is surprised.
Chicago and Journey aren't fit to trim Neil Peart's toenails.

Plus, I don't recall ever seeing a bunch of sailors get drunk in a pub and sing along poorly with Chicago as I have with Journey. So, I think you have to toss in the karaoke factor into it as well.

(That said, I used to go to a laundromat in LA that always blared some radio station that played Open Arms every 10 minutes or so. So now I associate the song as much with doing laundry as with early teen romance.)

B) The Steve Perry Experience (Score:2)
I gotta go with Journey, just on the Steve Perry vocals alone. DO YOU WANT ME TO ROCK OUT RIGHT NOW RIGHT INTO YOUR FACE?!? The ultimate arena rock balladeer. Infinity, Departure, Escape, Frontiers where just solid rock school dance jams. I mean the band is ICONIC. See:

What an awesome concert.
But it's gotta be Chicago. Much more musical talent. A more fair comparison would be Journey vs. Styx.

and, as mekkab said... they had their own awesome video game in the 80's.
Also, I refer to the Cardinal Rules of Rock & Roll - Rule number 2: Any band named after a geographical location, by definition, sucks.
(rule #1 is: If it's too loud, you're too old.)
