My Take
Frankie Sullivan is the kind of musician I deeply respect: the steady hand behind a band rather than the face out front. As a founding member of Survivor and the only constant from its 1978 start to its 2020 end, he held the structure together through every lineup change. To me that endurance is its own form of genius. His guitar and songwriting shaped anthems that outlived their decade, and there is a craftsman's pride in choosing the frame over the spotlight. Forty years of holding the line earns my admiration far more than any single hit.
