decades it doesn't hit the same), and I can't get past all of the plastic surgery - why, Neal?!? And the rest of the lineup is sheer mediocrity, although Jonathan Cain is still there. Oh, and there's Dean Castronovo on drums these days - he can play, and he sings like Perry better than the actual frontman.

But hey, maybe I'm just still crusty over Perry joining the band all those years ago. The first couple of albums with Perry were very, very good, but my favorites are still the band's first 4 (Perry joined for the 4th and split vocal duties with Rolie). Ansley Dunbar on drums? Forget about it. That lineup was insane.
