I feel that this was where the Steve Perry era had it's apex. As for highlight album tracks, Escape had "Stone In Love," one of the FM Rock staples I did not mind hearing a lot back in the day with a great simple guitar riff prefect for WRIF and WIOT over-kill play (memories).
Plus, there was the Atari 2600 video game - A laughable but likable highlight of 80's FM Rock promotion.

That's a solid argument. I could add that Escape is more adventurous musically. However, I might lean slightly away from Escape, because I'm not fond of "Open Arms" and "Still They Ride," whereas I like all 5 songs from Frontiers that got much airplay.
