One would be stupid not to choose Cain when talking about sales or success, but one would be a fucking retard to prefer Cain's sappy pop-rock to Rollie's fusion, bluesy sound. Cain doesn't have a rocking bone in his body. Bet he's a great guy, but Perry and him just made some of the most commercial, in your face pop-rock songs imaginable. Perry got three songs I like; Somewhere There's Hope, You Better Wait and She's Mine. The rest is sappy nonsense. He certainly can't write to save his life.
The only one who can really sculpt a good melody on his own is Schon, but there's no doubt that they're far better together than on their own.

I think this is a pretty solid, comprehensive list of Journey's heaviest tracks (w/ vocals) that feature Cain in the writing credits. I omitted some like Stone In Love because you could very easily argue that it's in the realm of pop-rock. But then you've got plenty of tracks on here that shitstomp the heaviest tunes from the Rolie-era. Cain might prefer the ballad, but don't tell me can't rock.
There's nothing from Infinity to Departure that matches some of these in terms of rock. Cain can write a better ballad and a better rock song.
Yeah. Fuck you.
OOOOOOWWWWWWWwww! Black Magic Women!
Rolie's organ virsus Cain's keytar.
WTF! Did Rolie stick a pound of hamburger down his pants?
Why are you looking at Greg's hamburger?
