In positions1 through 10 for me is a band called 'Punch You in the Mouth'.  It probably doesn't exist, but I like it a lot anyway because it sounds like the exact opposite of KISS.

Nope.  Most of the Augeri material was heavier than the Perry material.
Plus, Perry's voice sucked post "Frontiers."   I prefer Augeri's rock voice
over Perry's croning voice.  Saw both in concert and Augeri wins.

Oh my God, Skip.  I think you're the only person on the planet to feel that way, considering Augeri only sung about an album & a half worth of material.  Unfortunately he didn't survive too long.  By the way, when you saw him in concert, they were tracking vocals (unless you saw the Vegas show).  That was the reason for his dismissal.  It was really digging on Schon.

So you're throwing out the Infinity, Evolution, Departure, 2 tracks from Dream After Dream, Escape, Street Talk, Frontiers, the Tron Soundtrack song, Raised On Radio, and Trial By Fire for the shitty songs on Arrival (most weren't even written by the band), 6 songs from Generations and two tracks from the Red album which couldn't even interest a record company?

Ok.

"Perry's voice sucked post Frontiers."

WTF kind of comment is that?

The kind of comment made by someone who worships Kiss, thus illustrating his tastes in singers.

LMFAO!

That's like saying "Oh, since 1984--Freddie's voice sucked!" (the cigarettes).

I may have not have seen Perry live (born in 1990), but I own plenty of Journey bootlegs, and I can tell you: Steve Perry is probably the best LIVE singer ever! The guy RARELY flubbed a note live--and if he did, he fixed it!

I don't care about the rest. It's all about tastes. I may include serious bands Yes or Rush but I don't like them, so I would include  more "sillier" acts like Franz Ferdinand or Supergrass cause I personally love those bands. So the rest of the list doesn't matter.

Totally spot on, Gregsynth.  I saw them live four times, all with Perry.  Never a bad note.  Not one.   And to sing that range, which at times was much higher in pitch than say Freddie or Robert Palmer, for that many years?  Incredible.  Journey is on their third singer in the last ten years since Perry left.  And the rumour is, they're looking for #4.

But let's give ol' Steve Augeri his due.  Look at this catalog of material he's graced us with:
Higher Place
All The Way
Signs Of Life
Faith In The Heartland
State Of Grace

Maybe Skip just needs a better set of speakers or something.

Perry has an incomparable voice (unless you're comparing it to Rik Emmett, at which point it gets competetive) for that particlar sound. No question.  Huge love and respect.  But I have to say he was a bit hard to watch sometimes.  He always performs like he's entertaining a large group of deaf people. 'One more time' you get a finger stuck up in the air, 'Two hearts' you get two. 'Roll the dice', he rolls the dice. 'On and on and on and on' he rolls his hand.  'Searching in the night' you get Steve searching with his hand above his eyes.  Paiiiinnful.
