From Fan Asylum: JOURNEY first ballot of R&R HOF

[icubud]

As reported today, Journey joins the list of first-time nominees to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. For the full list, please visit rockhall.com

Former lead singer and co-writer of their biggest songs, Steve Perry, had this to say,

"I'm so grateful that the music we created while together has survived the test of time."

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will again offer fans the opportunity to officially participate in the induction selection process. Beginning October 18 and continuing through 11:59 p.m. EST on December 5, 2016, fans can visit rockhall.com to cast votes for who they believe to be most deserving of induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The top five artists, as selected by the public, will comprise a "fans' ballot" that will be tallied along with the other ballots to choose the 2017 inductees. Fans will need to login with a Facebook account or email to vote. Voting is capped at one ballot per day.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2017 inductees will be announced in December 2016. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2017 Inductions, presented by Klipsch Audio, will be held at the Barclay's Center in New York in April 2017. HBO will also once again broadcast the ceremony in 2017. Venue and ticket on-sale information will be announced at a later date.

I am very happy that Journey got FIRST ballot of R&R HOF. It would be great to see Steve Perry on the stage with Journey getting his major credit for all his contribution to Journey. He deserves that very much!! This is just my own little opinion here, but thought about this, Steve Perry has said in past interviews he would not perform with Journey and then he said, in another interview "he was thinking about it" . Maybe he would sing with Journey again, but fears the huge fan base would expect HIM to rejoin Journey again. Maybe a one time thing or two might be ok with him now, but he fears it would reopen the fans and media to keep asking him if he plans to rejoin Journey and doesn't want to be adding to those rumors that are out there with the fans, so that MIGHT be a reason he backs away from doing a one time event with Journey. I vote that I would love for him to sing one more time with his former band mates, and get the credit he so richly deserves for his major contribution to Journey music and time period spent with them. I am only guessing he probably will not go, but sure would be very happy to see him, no doubt about that at all!!!

P.S. and of course I am voting for Journey at the R&R Hall Of Fame. Journey with Steve Perry has always been the band I loved.

It is so very cool to see Journey at the very Top!!! I vote every day and will keep doing it. We need to keep Journey at the top so to make sure they get this huge recognition.

Journey has got over 65,000 votes at Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and is still at the very top. That is fantastic!! We need to keep voting til December 5th, as that is the last day to vote. Just passing the word on here so those who do read this will go vote for Journey.

I am very happy to say Journey is still going strong as the top nominee for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. And I remembeed something about your vote icubud, fans did not think Steve Perry would show up for the Hollywood Walk Of, but HE surprised all the fans and showed up , so I have more hope that HE may come to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

It is Thanksgiving Day, I thought I would just share that Journey has 99,837 votes this morning. I believe by December 5th Journey will be well over a 100,000 votes. Any way, just a small break from cooking, Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hey icubud, I hope all is good with Arden, she usually responds and gives her opinions, thoughts and views here. Please understand not trying to get in her personal business, just wondered if she knew about Journey and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and hope Arden is doing well.

Today Journey is on top at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with 240,913 votes at the time I voted anyways. I love my Journey music with Steve Perry. Only 4 more days to vote at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
