along with Kansas and Styx beligned by most, but they had sone big moments on vinyl.

Do you mean to tell me, with a straight face, that Journey is not already in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? It is a travesty! A sacrilege! A mockery!

Don't stop beleivin'!

What a phenomenal band! They are one of the greatest rock bands ever. Certainly more deserved than most and should have in their first year of eligibility.

Their music still stands up and that should be a sure sign that they already should be in.

Their music was the soundtrack of the 80s! Everybody liked them and when a Journey song came on the radio, you had to turn it up and sing along. Steve Perry's voice is one of the greatest in the history of rock. They were very skilled musicians and all these years later, people still can't get enough of them. There is no reason they should not be in!

d ont get me wrong they sound great but they dont have shit when it comes 2 a consistant or good carreer

When they first bagan they were very good, but for some reason they decided to bring steve perry into the band, after that, each album became worse with the same whiny slush.

Some bands like this are better off without trying to make hits and just stick to the format that made them ineresting. I say no to inducting them

NO! NO! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NO!!!!

Journey sucks. They are the epitome of the type of music that made Punk necessary. They were the original Nickelback. If you like Journey you have bad taste in music. That is not an opinion. That is a mathematical fact. Yes, millions of people love(d) Journey. Phenomena like this occur all the time. It's why Jerry Bruckheimer is a multimillionaire. It's why Michael Bolton got to sleep with Ashley Judd instead of Wynonna. It's why Pauly Shore isn't a homeless virgin. It's why George W. Bush is President.

Steve Perry. Don't Stop Believin'. What more needs to be said?

So many great high school memories associated with their music, even though I lean more toward metal, Journey was definitely lighter, but still delivered great music. Now they have IMO their best front man in Jeff Scott Soto (a MAJOR crush from my early metal days), and he and Neal Schon are going to take the band in exciting new directions, and if anyone from the band deserves to be honored by the Rock Hall, it's Neal!

I can't help but breaking into hysterical laughter anytime i hear this! I swear this band was meant as a joke, I mean it can't possibly be serious!

I want to pay the singer to follow around people i don't like and 'sing' all day! dont stop believing woooaah aowow aoaoa!

blahahahahahahahah!

Better chance than expected, but their arena rock background will keep them out.

NO! Someday love will find you! Break those chains that Bind you! They are ridiculously bad, they make Styx and Foreigner look good.

Not really my favorite genre of rock, but i hAVE TO GIVE THEM MY RSSPECT AND THEREFOR MY WHOLEHEARTED VOTE

Journey,THE BEST BAND EVER!!!These five guy's took us on an avdenter. With every album they just got better. They let us hear their pain& all the fun they had too, not to mention Steve Perry put journey on the map! When you put steve, neil, jon, in a room ,when they come out it's MAGIC. JOURNEY are pioneers in rock-n-roll,they started with early video's, then moved on to whole concert systems, so no concert goer would have a bad seat or poor sound , so many of you could have seen your favorite artist and not have been aware that they were using a system from nocturn, so WHY ARE THEY NOT IN THE HALL ALLREADY?????

Coporate trash promulgated on the masses by corporate radio. BAH!

Worst band of all time, every song sounds just like the last. Hall of fame try hall of shame.

Competent musicianship does not necessarily make for enthralling music. No better example than Journey. They made a decade that was generally bad musically even worse.

Hideous, whitebread, arena pop; They had a moment in time in what, '80?

C'mon folks, the list isnt asking if you like it or not. Remember to consider talent. If you dont see talent in this band you just dont know what the f--- your talking about. They were not my favorite, a little too poppy,sappy for me but they were hit machines because people still dug love songs in their day. (my day). With Steve Perry and Neil Shone you had one of the strongest rock vocal and guitar entertainers of the time. I say they should be in.

Questionable. They were on a roll from the late 70s through the mid 80s.

I never have been able to get into Journey. But you still can not disregard their effect on rock, as they were one of the pioneering bands of glam rock, and synth rock. They are also on their 30th tour, and have effectivly remained on the classic radio waves for years. They deserve in, yes.

Journey is great. Their songs cover all the bases and they have undeniable talent. Definatley HOF worthy.

If I could give a zero I would. Journey is the single most annoying, boring and downright terrible rock band (if you can even call them that) of all time. I'd rather Genisis, Boston, Yes and Rush all together in the HOF than these guys.

All you people praising Journey are out of your minds. This is feeble, predictable, boring, whitebread, bland, banal drivel.

This is one of the greatest bands of all time! The individual talents of each member past & present can not be denied...they are all amazing! This years' tour is a must see and the new album is fresh & new while keeping the sound that is Journey intact. Those who say all their songs sound the same really have not listened to this band & are making unedjucated statments. Give Journey a try...you will be blown away! Journey deserves to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of fame! www.journeytothehalloffame.com

To put into words the positive influence that Journey has had on my life is hard to do because it is so many emotions. In the 1980's Journeys' music helped capture the fun and laughter, teenage romances and first love of my life. Today 25 years later Journeys' music brings all of the memories of teenage carefree blissful first romances and that carefree ambionce back to me. For awhile it seemed my life was getting so tragedy stricken, my fathers death only to be followed up by a close friends suicide, at 31 one years old and feeling pretty weighted down with greif and bleek darkness and all the while trying to be a fun wife and mother of two. I can not tell you what came over me and how uplifted I was after long prayer sessions and hours of the heartfelt passion of the band that is so deserving of the music hall of fame recognition. I really believe that the music and hearts of this band has helped bring years of joy into my life in my teenage years and then brought it back to me after the darkness. I can't thank God and the band, Journey, eneough for sharing their talents with me and I am sure this goes for thousands more. This years generation concert is great and is also very reassuring to know that my experience with this band will also be shared with the generation of my children. Thank you so much.

HECK YES!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the best bands of their time, and continues to be one of the best even now. Great performance and songs...though some of them are a little on the sad/depressing side.

When i listen to Captured back in 1981 i said WOH! that's great. Now 24 years later (vinyl replaced for CD) i put the CD on and i say .... yes the same as back in 1981, what a live peformance. Put them on.

This is the band that was first dubbed with the power ballad slogan. Journey's blues and jazz roots, if you research their history, is quite fasinating. Neal Schon, whether you play guitar or not, is easily one of the top 10 players in the world. They certainly had their share of power ballads, but face it, that's where the $ came from. But don't forget their early years...they were true rock and rollers! Hall of Fame worthy? Without question!

Journey is one of the greatest rock & roll bands to come out of the 1980's, they deserve to be inducteed sooner than later.

Steve Perry is the greatest singer ever!!!

Journey should be apart of the class of 2006 hall of fame inductions. They were pioneers of arena rock, they made power ballads popular, and they sold millions of albums worldwide. Seeing these guys inducteed would make my day. This would be a great chance to see Steve Perry, Neal Schone, Greg Rolie, Jonathan Cain, Ross Valory, and Steve Smith share the stage together for the first time and maybe only time.

I had some memories of high school dances and Open Arms, Faithfully, Don't Stop Believin....I was growing up. Their songs were everywhere. But Rock n Roll Hall of Fame material? Let's get real.

Love these guys, always have, always will.

Wrote okay pop songs but are way too boring, derviative and silly to be considered.

Plastic RR-nicely packaged but nothing grounbreaking.

One of the greatest Rock bands of all times. Neal Schon has more versatility and commitment than any guitar player in history. None can compare. The Master at work. WWW.NealSchon.Net

This band has been making Rock rock for years! I love it, as do my kids, who range in age from 18 down to 4! Why aren't they in the HOF already??

Fantastic band..Neal Schon is one of the greatest guitar players of our time, and nobody could match Steve Perry's awesome vocals...not then, not now. Many bands today name Journey or one of the members as a prominent influence.

I'd just like to bring their average score down a little. :-)

With hits like Faithfully and Open Arms, they definitly are deserving of the Hall.

How can anyone possibly think anything but a 5-great? What a band!! I love them and have for 30 years! It's amazing to me that they aren't already in...

It's nice to see a band that I grew up with is still going strong! This is the NEXT step from Walk of Fame to Hall of Fame!

no way, I hate this band with a passion they are boring and too much like all the others of that time

More than deseving! 30+ years of music, many chart hits that are still played today and just some of the most talented, wonderful musicians ever!

Journey combined fabulous songs, talented musicians and great business sense to create something that should not be ignored by the Rock and roll community. Their ability to range from ballad to completely rocking songs makes them attractive to young and old alike. They have it all, they deserve a spot in the hall of fame.

Oh please. What a no brainer. Journey IS the soundtrack to your lives, whether you want to admit it or not. Personally, I LOVE admitting it. And so would the thousands of people that were there in Hollywood watching them accept their star on Hollywood Boulvevard. Doubt you'd get any arguement from them!

Journey deserves this more than any body. They have endured through the years, have been inovators in rock and roll and appeal to ALL generations. You can't say this about many.

The guitarist left his talent with Santana 35 years ago. Singer never had any.

Journey was teh quintessential band of the 80s - a sound like no other, thanks to Steve Perry and the others...there is no other greater band...put them in the Hall where they belong!

Of course Journey deserves to be in the R&R HOF...they introduced the R&R world to large-venue video screens, other concert production media, gave us awesome musicianship and songwriting skills..and gave us music with definite staying power...they were and are the soundtrack to all our lives. Journey deserves this SO much! Thank you Journey for being so great.

Journey deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame most definitely!!!! Some people just don't know good music when they hear it, sad but true!!! Oh, and Steve Perry's not in the band anymore....so get over it. Journey deserves this honor more than just about any band out there.

Why they are not in there already is a complete mystery to me. Get them in, you know it makes sense!

they are past due this honor and are well deserving of it.

This is way past due for Journey. They deserve their rightful place in the Hall.

Journey most definatly deserves to be in the Hall of Fame! they are still awesome after 30 + years! Visit www.journeytothehalloffame.com for more info

Journey has survived the 70's, 80's, and 90's. I have been a fan always and think they sound better than ever. Journey should absolutely be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Journey rocks- past and present!

If all Rock n Roll sounded like this,we'd have slept through the last 30 years!

Can't belive they are not allready in, but the Clash is, what the hell is going on here.

What a great group!Perry is one of the better vocalists that ever lived!Get a clue Skizero.Update:Who would you suggest is better Scarlet, that is not already in?You guys are going to honestly say they were not good?

Their music is pap, and Steve Perry sounds like an emasculated seal when he attempts to sing. If Journey makes it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, suspect a put-up job.

not even if they bought a ticket.

You've got to be kidding me. Remember Steve Perry's voice? Give me 80's or give me death. Egad.
