The Storm was an American supergroup rock band, formed in the Bay Area of San Francisco during the early 1990s. The band's first single, power ballad "I've Got a Lot to Learn About Love", peaked at #6 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and #26 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The band had three of Journey's former members, two of whom were founding members: Gregg Rolie (original lead vocalist and keyboard player of Journey) on keyboards and lead and backing vocals, Ross Valory on bass guitar and backing vocals, and Steve Smith on drums.[1] Kevin Chalfant, who had a #12 rock chart hit in 1982 as lead vocalist with AOR band 707, was the lead vocalist, and Josh Ramos, who cited the Journey founder and guitarist Neal Schon as a major influence, was the lead guitarist.
