Arguably the greatest AOR group of them all were (and still are) Journey, who said goodbye to their jazz-rock roots to seduce the North American airwaves with a peerless combination of lighter-waving ballads and raunch during the 1970s.

Guitarist Scotti Hill had been sent to the airport to meet an important arrival. Also soaking up the atmosphere of expectation was Sabo’s mum, affectionately known to all as Mrs Snake.
