Preach it, brother.
I get both sides. On one hand I will like or dislike this CD purely because the songs are good or they suck. Doesn't matter who is in the band or on vocals - if the songs are good I'll dig it.
HOWEVER, simply put, without Plunkett this is definitely NOT Autograph, imo. Yes he's the one and only voice that has ever fronted the band, ever, but more to the point he was the song-writer for the most part - and most, if not all, of Autograph's success came at the mercy of Plunkett's pen.
Sorry dudes, I look forward to hearing the new music, but it sure isn't Autograph to me.
For the record, anyone know why he isn't involved?
I agree with you 100% Geoff!
