			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Long before they invented the power ballad, hit-rockers Journey peddled their wares elsewhere.

	The group was formed in San Francisco in 1973 by guitarist Neil Schon and keyboardist/singer Greg Rolie, both of whom had been members of Santana. Rolie had actually co-founded the legendary group with Carlos Santana in the mid-1960s.
