Does anyone know what Chris Degarmo thinks of the 2 lineups? I think the winner will be whichever one earns his endorsement.

Here are some not listed above, and some different songs from bands other people listed to give you more of a choice. My Religion - McQueen Street Tainted Angel - Southgang Don't Need Rules - Kik Tracee She Likes It on Top - Lillian Axe (it's where No Doubt ripped off the riff from "Spiderwebs") Let It Rock - 4 Horsemen Girlschool - Britny Fox Valley of the Kings - Blue Mu

Some of these may not be the typical board fare, but here they are anyway. My musical interests go from glam metal/AOR to punk/pop punk/post-hardcore to heavier metal/power metal/metalcore. More or less, anything that rocks and has a great chorus melody. Escape the Fate A Day to Remember Falling in Reverse Work of Art Place Vendome Man Overboard Forever the Sickest Kids Brother

The only "new" bands they seem to show on that Metal Show are either new bands that have old musicians in them (basically glorified side projects like Adrenaline Mob, Black Country Communion, etc) or the "captain obvious" wal-mart housewife bands like Stone Sour, 5-Finger Death Punch, Volbeat, or any other type of plain vanilla nonsense band like that.

I wasn't a fan of the awful remake they did after Sebastian left. And I usually like when bands can do a cool punk remake of songs. This one should have been left alone.

I wish I had something original to contribute, but these guys said it. Cowboys and Vulgar are the ones you want. Power Metal also has some good songs. I wonder how much $$ it would take to get Phil to sing some of those songs again. The other albums have some great stuff, but it's definitely not AOR. Also, the later albums are a great example of how you can have a full sound as just a 4-p

They're okay. Good potential. I just hope they can lose the Christian nonsense and become a true band that rocks. Right now they're seen as a wannabe band. Nothing rock and roll about "drinking your milk and eating your peas". hehehe

Totally agree on Striker and Bad City. I like Alpha Tiger as well, they may want to be Helloween, but Helloween isn't Helloween anymore and Michael Kiske wants to do nothing but AOR. (not that there's anything wrong with that) It's like Trivium wouldn't need to exist if Metallica didn't suck. Some others along "old metal is now new again" wavelength: Skull Fist 3 Inc

As a HUGE fan of the first 3 Wig Wam albums, I was really disappointed in Wall Street. Maybe a break will give the band the inspiration to go back to the over-the-top hooks that we know and love.

Hmmmm, I hope it's not the soundtrack for "Rock of Ages 2". Maybe it's the band that Poison "allegedly" stole songs from. Or is it the surviving member of Milli Vanilli = "Just Vanilli"? It could be the long-awaited collaboration between Lady Gaga and the Goo Doo Dolls = Goo Goo Gaga. (I actually hope it's none of these.)

Great band. All of their albums are really good for the genre, in my opinion.

H.E.A.T. is great. It's Journey mixed with glam metal. Just the fact that new bands are playing this style is a a great thing. 2 bad albums of 2012: Crazy Lixx: Riot Avenue Wig Wam: Wall Street

Bruno Mars is good, but why does every song on his first album have at least 6 songwriters?

I tend to avoid christian bands in general (Stryper is the 1 exception). "Christian rock" is an oxymoron.

I agree with Joe, there are some decent songs, but the "seven keys" albums are where it's at. The song "as long as I fall" by the new Helloween singer is really good though, are other songs like that on the post-Kiske albums? It's not as power-metal, but the albums by Place Vendome and Unisonic are really good too if you like Michael Kiske's voice.

This is great! Thanks so much! I have an "AOR" playlist on my ipod and I think that Journey should take up a higher percentage of it. I guess that deciding on the best songs is easier than trying to figure out how to sing like Steve Perry.
Forum: Noticeboard

See subject. If I want to add to my collection of Journey songs beyond the obvious few that everyone knows, what ones would you suggest? I'm looking for any from the Steve Perry/Augieri/Arnel era. Nothing from their pre-Perry days. Basically all the songs with the catchiest choruses. Thanks for your suggestions. SB

I like the songs, except they now need to lose the Jesus freak nonsense and write about stuff that ROCKS! Not "go to church, drink your milk, and eat your peas." They have potential, but they won't be taken seriously with poser type subject matter. There already is a Stryper. I hope their next album shoots into the mainstream.

It's awful. People want to hear singers that can sing their own stuff. If not, why go to the show to hear a song sung badly when you can hear a bar band cover the same song badly? With the amount of vocal coaches, teachers, and therapists out there, there is no excuse for doing a half-assed show. Being "too cool" to improve means that the audience will be "too disappointed&q

Hey all: I have something I'd like some feedback on. What bands can you think of that have the best band name that play the crappiest music. What I'm looking for is the largest ratio of high-quality name vs low-quality music. Sort of a "they should give their name to a real band that rocks" type of thing. My current leaders are: Theory of a Deadman Vampire Weeken

I agree with Marvelous 3. They put on one of the best live shows I've ever seen. Butch Walker should listen to those albums again before he puts out his next one. I also agree with Life of Agony. That singer was awesome when he wanted to be. To the person who said Screaming Trees: they were okay, but when I saw them live, the singer literally was like a statue. Horrible stage presence.

All of the garbage that is called "rock" that isn't. All of these aren't rock, they're for girls that listen to pop radio to say they have 1 or 2 rock bands in their ipod. It's music for parents to buy their tweens in Wal-Mart so that they behave long enough so they can buy lawn care supplies and pet food in bulk.
