It's got one of the greatest openings in music - maybe the greatest keyboard opening in all of rock. Steve Perry's vocal is scorching. The lyrics are great, capturing rust belt desperation well ahead of "Living on a Prayer".
Is "Don't Stop Believin'" the most perfect American rock song?

No, it's not. There are better songs, even if you only consider Journey.

But I loved Steve back then. Such a rock n roll guy.

Steve Perry had a truly great rock voice and the song is epic.

Olivia Newton-John also had a song called Don't Stop Believin' (different than Journey's) and it's also the title of her memoir.

R11 Thank you! I bought her memoir and really have to get down to reading it one of these days.

I'd say Suite Judy Blue Eyes (Crosby, Stills & Nash) is the most perfect American Rock Song.

Steve Perry's former girlfriend, Sherrie Swafford, appeared in Perry's 1984 music video "Oh Sherrie". Perry has never been married.
