interesting i know so little about journey i had to look up their wiki...it says this
Sales have resulted in two gold albums, eight multi-platinum albums, and one diamond album (including seven consecutive multi-platinum albums between 1978 and 1987). They have had eighteen Top 40 singles in the U.S. (the second most without a Billboard Hot 100 number one single behind Electric Light Orchestra with 20), six of which reached the Top 10 of the US chart and two of which reached No. 1 on other Billboard charts, and a No. 6 hit on the UK Singles Chart in "Don't Stop Believin'".

I do like some of Journey songs, but the obsessive radio played killed it for me. Now, it’s nice to hear them time to time on Sirius. Never bought an album, couldn't take Steve Perry's voice for that amount of time.

I'm voting, but at the moment it's just saying "WELL, THAT DIDN'T WORK"
Hard to be very enthusiastic when the public poll just scores one vote overall.

yes same for me too... According to a Facebook posting, apparently ELO had cut 400 off the difference from those in first place and have broken the 50000 barrier according to the screenshot.

Never bought an album, couldn't take Steve Perry's voice for that amount of time. I remember watching the USA For Africa video (their equivalent of Band Aid) and there was Springsteen, Lionel Richie, Hall and Oates, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon etc etc then up popped this strange looking guy with a big nose and croaky voice and thought 'who the hell is he??' It took me years to find out it was Steve Perry from some 70's AOR band called Journey!

dang, those Journey fans are a force to be reckoned with! hopefully they have less stamina than the ELO fan and will lose their enthusiasm through the next month. just voted and they are 4,166 votes ahead of ELO...

Another band I don't like from that list is Pearl Jam. I think they are way too overhyped for the quality of their music.
