Soot and Stars
I AM SOOT!
I think Survivor is as legit of a band as any and is valid in a poll like this. I mean seriously they have one of the best anthems ever in "Eye Of The Tiger" but I like plenty of songs from them and can see them in the same category except for two things. Journey definitely has the bigger legacy and more depth to their catalog. The part about the depth is kind of taken away that most will vote Journey solely on the Steve Perry years which don't have as much depth. Voting on Journey's whole career though I'd vote for them. I love the debut album with Greg Rolie as well as the Eclipse album with Arnel. In some ways I like those better. Anyway, their are plenty of people who would vote another AOR band ahead of Journey regardless of the legacy. My vote goes to Journey not because of their rep but because their are more layers to their career to like and likely more surprises than any particular Survivor album would have. I'm sure vocally and musicianship wise someone could prefer Survivor though.
