Journey is not something I think about in regard to any Who at all. I
certainly don't hear any Perry in Athena. If anything, it reminds me of the
WHO'S NEXT period Who.
Air Supply? I haven't listened to enough of them to associate their music
with anyone excet perhaps Bread or Firefall.

I did say that I thought PPP was a great version...I also like I Don't Mind.
And RB&G for that matter. Just because I'm more into B&T doesn't mean I

As for R&B Who...I don't think they could have survived long as an R&B band.
Their way of performing is fully established as Rock.
