I'll shock you here and side with Perry's decision to, from what I understand, have a hand in picking the artist for the TBF artwork. Coolest album cover they've ever had.

Here's one from the Steve Perry band.

This one cracks me up, all the one on the right needs is a straight up cowlick and it's Spanky and Alfalfa. :lol:

LOL I'm probably dating myself, some people might not even have heard of The Little Rascals. :lol:

Our Gang.....you slay me.... :lol:

Get it straight, that's a Mr Big cover, not an EM cover.

Fixed it for ya. :wink:

But yeah, vocals are always first and foremost in my books.

Billy Sheehan, average??? Dude, check yourself. :shock:

Paul Gilbert is one talented bugger too, one of my all-time favorite song intros...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Awmr6NHVXE
Not many bands can sound just as good today as they did 20 years ago. Can't wait to catch MB LIVE!

Houses of the Holy is a great album cover.

Journey-wise, I've always loved the art on Evolution... would make a cool tattoo! :lol:

I actually really like the ROR cover too. (the TBF cover sucks! dunno why, just don't like it)
