RANK 'EM: BANDS THAT CHANGED PRIMARY VOCALISTS

[RJhog (Admin)]

This thread is inspired by the latest edition of Scott's Hidden Treasures, which you can find right HERE.  Basically, I want you to rank the following 5 bands based on their level of success since originally changing their primary lead vocalist, with the number one ranking going to who you think was most successful and number five being who you think was least successful. 

 

I will list the old vocalist and the new vocalist beside each band that I want you to consider (for instance, with Van Halen it's David Lee Roth to Sammy Hagar, not Sammy Hagar to Gary Cherone).

Here are the bands in alphabetical order:

 

AC/DC (Bon Scott to Brian Johnson)

 

Black Sabbath (Ozzy Osbourne to Ronnie James Dio)

 

Genesis (Peter Gabriel to Phil Collins)

 

Journey (Steve Perry to Everybody Since)

 

Van Halen (David Lee Roth to Sammy Hagar)

 

I'll post my answers later...

Man, I love it when an old thread like this gets some new life.  I don't see that I ever replied.  Am I just missing that?

I also should have said Journey from Rollie to Perry.  That would have made me put Journey at number 1, followed by AC/DC, Genesis, Van Halen, Black Sabbath.

I was expecting Survivor in the top 5 from you. Where would they be ranked?

[TageRyche]

They weren't on the list so I couldn't add them.

In terms of success I would rank them at #4 over Genesis and Journey.

Given that they are one of my favorite bands, I'd actually rank them #2 in terms of my own personal favoritism.
