Oh come on. I've just about criticized Sullivan as much as anyone one here, but it doesn't mean that we can't recognize the fact that he has played great riffs or solos.

Totally agree, you may think of FRankie whatever you want a how he is aa a person and human being but nobody can't deny he's a great guitar player!!!!
His solo's live on "I See You In Everyone" are always way too long but from great quality.

Here's a website that I came across that names Frankie Sullivan as one of the top 40 most underappreciated guitarists of the 1980s.

Seriously???

Let's see, in no particular order.....

Eye Of The Tiger
Caught In The Game
She's A Star
Slander
Take You On A Saturday
Children Of The Night
Rhythm Of The City
Hesitation Dance
Fire Makes Steel
Let It Be Now
As Soon As Love Finds Me
Freelance
Poor Man's Son
Feels Like Love
Broken Promises
Can't Let You Go
Tell Me I'm The One

Probably more than half of Survivor's songs have anywhere from good to ALL OUT AWESOME RIFFS.

People can hate Frankie Sullivan the person all they want, and I get it, he's brought all of the hate on himself by his lies over the years and his being more concerned with suing people than making new music. But anyone that does not admit that he's an excellent guitar player is just being ridiculous.

Been forever since I listened to them. Yeah he has some riffs, some are good, but I would cut you list in half. Have to wonder too, how many were by JP. JP writing sounds more like Survivor than anything Survivor has done without him.

Yeah, it's a great extended solo. Not quite as great as Neal Schon's extended solo at the end of Stone In Love. But it's really good and similar in a way to Schon's SIL solo.
