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.

Fixed it for ya. :wink: But yeah, vocals are always first and foremost in my books. :)

Billy Sheehan, average??? Dude, check yourself. :shock: :lol: 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! :D

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)
