That's just, like, my opinion, man.

Yuck. Not the best song; it's not even Journey's best song! I really love "Stone in Love", for example.

I am so tired of DSB that if I never hear it again, I'll be happy!

That's true. If ever there was a Journey song we could be sick of hearing it is that one. Once ads start using it to hawk their products then things start going down hill from there.

Greatest, ever, of anyone... no.
Greatest, ever, of Journey's... nope.
Good tune by Journey... yeap.

As stated above, Stone in Love is much more excellent - eps. love the part starting at 2:28,,, that section could go on for much longer.

Likewise, "Wheel in the Sky" is much better tune too, IMHO, than DSB.

It might crack my Top 10 for the '80's, but that's about it. After all, it's lyrics were hardly profound, and indeed it could even be termed a bit trite.
As a huge Sporanos fan; I nowadays always think of the final episode when I hear that song today.

Anyway I actually like the song okay, but there are many songs I like better.
I would be more inclined to vote "Green Onions" the best song ever.

Maybe that one won't lose 25 to 1 in a C-D poll.
