The topic on songs that define Melodic Rock got me thinking when I put Ask The Lonely by Journey.

This song, as well as Only The Young were rejected by Columbia from Frontiers in favor of Back Talk (surely one of the worst ever Journey songs) and Troubled Child.

ATL and OTY still feature in the live set so you can see what the band think, and they've said in interviews that the decisions were wrong.

So the topic is 'What's your most tragic record company interference'?
