Starting with Elvis Presley to the present, Steve Augeri isn't even one of the best 300 rock/pop singers off all time. Steve Augeri covers already popular songs of Steve Perry. When you compare an Augeri song to a Perry song, this is more than obvious.

Any rock critic would not include Steve Augeri as one of the top or best 300 rock/pop singers of all time from the 1950s to the present.

Think about it. Of all the bands in rock/pop music history, there is no way that Steve Augeri's name gets included as one of the top 300 singers ever.

Well, Tyketto's Danny Vaughn happens to think that Tall Stories is the best melodic rock album ever made. While I don't feel THAT strongly about the cd, I certainly do feel it's one of the best melodic rock cds out of my some hundred + collection. That's no small feat to be sure. Neither is being personally selected by Jon Cain and Neal Schon to sing for Journey, nor is fronting a rock band night after night after night.
I also have no doubt that the impending Journey cd will likely put another distinguished feather in Augeri's cap.

As far as where Augeri rests in ur personal list of 300 top rock singers of all time, who really cares?

I happen to enjoy the man's talents, I'm sorry you do not.
That's really all there is to it.

Now go listen to Bono warble on about child poverty some more in an Ipod commercial.

There are 10's of thousands of singers who do not make a list. Many of them are BRILLIANT. Sadly, Steve Augeri is not recognized by the media...that does not make him any less enjoyable!

Who gives a shit what troll thinks or says? Why respond to that retarded asshole??

He wouldn't even be included in the pool from which they would be selected. Very few people in or out of the industry even know who he is. He'e just the guy who fills in for Steve Perry.

That is absolutely correct OSherri. Too bad too. Journey needs to learn how to promote. Call up Herbie!!

Yes, let's censor someone with an opinion you disagree with. Steve Augeri is not considered one of the 300 greatest signers in rock/pop history.

Aren't I allowed to have an opinion without you personally attacking me? I don't tell you to be quiet. Instead, I welcome all opinions.

You might laugh at U2 for their Ipod commercial but Journey has had their songs...of course the Steve Perry songs...in commercials too.

Why do you have to swear whenever you post an opinion? You can disagree with my opinion but most educated people do not have to respond by swearing. My friends at Harvard and MIT might disagree with me on some issues, but they don't swear or personally attack me.

Journeytroll

What makes a great singer? Bob Dylan? Joe Cocker? Those guys have awful pipes, yet are still good singers. Bryan Adams doeas not have perryesque vocals, but dude can sing.

You are right Nealisgod, ignore this dipshit.

A great singer is someone that moves people with his/her words, someone that is respected by other performers, someone that has charisma, someone that sings songs that people will remember for decades.

Don't blame me that almost all rock critics wouldn't consider Steve Augeri a top 300 rock/pop singer.

You must stop personally attacking me with you swearing, now!

Your friends at Harvard? O my God. Do you honestly think I believe you have secondary education? Look troll, I already told you, if I wanted to, I can speak eloquently, but with you, why should I? I have a Bachelors degree, and don't boast about it.

By the way, I am not attacking you. What are you supposed to call a piece of crap? A piece of crap. That is how I see you. A piece of crap.

When you get off Bono, reply or post a message, and say something relevent, and I will reply accordingly.

Sadly, they are loaded with many forms of profanity just because you disagree with my opinion. Would you call you mother, sister, or grandmother those words?)

I'm only sharing my opinion on how lousy Journey 2005 is: Their album name, their tour venue sites, their sniveling about the rock hall of fame, their lousy lead singer, and their dwindling popularity.

Duh, to talk about Journey. But if I did not like Journey I would not want to talk about them.

You must have me confused, I have not said anything about responding to you...atleast not in the last 6 months or so. Of course, that is because I stopped responding to you. I am not really sure why I started again...

I was talking about in the past how you tried to censor me for discussing a topic which you had a different opinion towards.

As far as Augeri's raking with other singers, that is a subjective judgement. I wouldn't put Bob Dylan or Mick Jagger in a list of the top 3,000 singers, but I know their fans do, so I don't go on boards and trash them. You just try to start fights, and act all shocked when someone calls you out. Please... it's getting old.

Yet, I do not continue using personal attacks. You must have hatred for me for using personal attacks.

I'm smart enough to spell the word "judgment" correctly.

Steve Augeri will never be considered a top 300 singer in rock/pop history.

Your friend,

I don't hate you because I don't even know you. But I do hate your posting style. It is 100% negative, trying to bait people into attacking you. And when they do, you act all high and mighty. It's just really sad that you get so much satisfaction out of acting like that. It would be nice, for once, to see a constructive post from you, even if it's negative toward Journey (which I am sure it would be). Wanna give it a try?

I want to share something with you. Neal is not God. I am thrilled that I can talk openly about my opinion towards Journey. Meanwhile, you have told others to ignore me. You have tried to get me banned here. You have called me many derogatory names. No wonder your advertising clients have left you.

Now, I am going to have a suprise for you real soon.

Steve Augeri is a permanent replacement.

Get over yourself, Miss High-and-Mighty.

You're right, Troll. Sorry for the name calling. I get too passionate aboutmy favorite band.

NealIsGod wrote:You're right, Troll. Sorry for the name calling. I get too passionate aboutmy favorite band.

You're right too NealIsGod. I have to remember there are hardcore Journey fans out there. Fans that will see Journey anywhere, which is great. Journey puts on a good show, and why shouldn't we all wish them the best in the studio and the concert scene.

Yeah, I have been a jerk lately, and I am sorry. I have too much time on my hands...no pun towards the Styx song...if I am just going to find fault with Journey. Whoever the five guys are, they are a band.

Journey never did anything to me, so I am not going to bother them or their fans anywhere or anymore.

By the way, I am not Joe Reardon. I have impersonated him many times, but I honestly am not him. I have read his posts from RVRs in December 2004 and sent a mass mailing pretending to be him and using similar words he used in his posts there. We both live in MA, but I am not him. I have enjoyed people thinking I am him, but I am the "mysterious" Journeytroll.

Sincerely sorry for being way too harsh on Journey,

Augeri has been on what 4 cds in 15 years. Not many people are going to know him, so I do not see how that is a slam against Agueri-ERIC
