Ever since lead singer Steve Perry was invalided out of the band with an injured hip in 1996, legendary rock group Journey hasn't been the same. Singers Steve Augeri and Jeff Scott Soto tried filling Perry's big shoes (and tight jeans), but the band - whose success had, in any case, been on a downward slide since its '80s heyday - seemed mortally wounded, relegated to the ignominious status of a nostalgia...
...Thirty-three years after its birth, however, Journey is getting a second lease on life - and from a most unexpected quarter. In December, the band signed on new lead vocalist Arnel Pineda, a Filipino singer whom they found leading a Manila cover band. Six months later, the group kicked off a tour of Europe and the U.S. and released Revelation, an album featuring new songs and rerecorded classics that, two weeks after its debut, was the fifth highest-selling album in the States...

And while Tucker could have easily transitioned to more mainstream secular music, he and his group remained devoted to gospel. In 1973 they collaborated with Paul Simon on the memorable Loves Me Like a Rock, and just last year their album Still Keeping It Real: The Last Man Standing was nominated for a Grammy...

...have Chinese Democracy. This is the Guns n' Roses album that lead singer Axl Rose has devoted himself to working on for 14 years, the same amount of time it took to carve Mount Rushmore. More than $13 million is reported to have been spent so far to make it, way more than any other album ever. It still has no formal release date. Every few years Rose assures his fans that it's about to be released, and then it isn't. It's gotten so ridiculous that the album title is used to mean something that is long...
