The singles aren't making noise?

I just have reservations about the production of NWA. Sounded "flat" on the radio. Sounded great live, though.

Same complaint here.
Maybe it'll be better off the actual CD.

Has absolutely nothing to do with it. The guys who run the HOF are elitists. Journey never caught establishment respect on any level, even "after all these years".

Those "elitists" would cave to Azoff and his John Holmes sized check book faster than a Euro exiting a shower if Perry ever rejoined. Cash is king, my friend. Whether they like it or not, they know that a Perry-fronted Journey would be a mega-show induction. With Perry on board, their induction is merely a phone call away.

I am pretty sure Azoff could get Journey into the RNRHOF WITHOUT Perry, too. He has all the power now!!

Then let's see him get on that.

Maybe next year will be the year....

I am sure some of it depends on if he feels compelled to campaign for them. And THAT would depend on how well they do this year.

And of course you know this because of your vast experience in the music industry and all of your insider connections, yes?

Correct.

You're definitely right about that. And if this album and tour go as well as people are predicting, then it might actually happen.

they will debut at #1 on the billboard if someone does a typo that says Journey Featuring Steve Perry and the new CD "rEVELATION"

SJ does do a good impression of a cigar chomping record exec.

Nirvana will be in the R&RHoF before Journey, KISS or Toto will...and they're still 8 years away from eligibility...

Journey would be in the R&R HOF in about 16 seconds if demo boy ever came back. That's the only reason they're not in yet.

Well, that certainly explains Van Halen then, huh?

If nothing else, all the little jabs and backhanded compliments in that GQ article should highlight this fact. The HOF guys see Journey the same way that article writer did. THAT'S why they're not now, nor will they ever, be in the HOF. Unfair? Sure, but that's reality and it has nothing to do with "demo boy" you jaded mo-fo.

Exactly. Journey, like KISS, is a "fan's band"...not a "critic's band"...Critics/Eletists control the HOF...
