Rushman14 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Rush is crushing Journey but vote anyway. Rush vs. Journey – Ultimate Classic Rock Hall of Fame Semifinals http://ultimateclassicrock.com/rush-journey-hall-of-fame/The semifinals of the May installment of the Ultimate Classic Rock Hall of Fame have begun, with Rush taking on Journey for the right to move on to the finals of the 100 percent fan-voted contest.Every month, our readers will decide which of eight legendary artists or bands will be honored for their contributions to the genre. In the first round, Rush defeated Judas Priest by a very small majority, taking 51 percent of the vote.Even with one of the most devoted fanbases in rock, Rush will have a tough challenger in Journey. The Bay Area rockers, who made some of the biggest era-defining anthems of the ’70s and ’80s, easily took care of Ted Nugent, 62 to 32 percent.

gangsterfurious Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Both have lead singers with big noses and nice long dark hair. End of comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Journey with Steve Perry? I liked them a lot in the eighties, but, not for nothing, Rush so far outclasses Journey it isn't even funny. I guess you know who I voted for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Before I was a Rush fan, I was a major Journey fan (and still am). In many ways, this would be a tougher decision for me. And yes, Geddy looks a lot like Steve Perry in "The Trees" video from Chronicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty Mindless Spectre Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Got my vote in! I'm really surprised it's that lopsided. I also do like some Journey songs (for the most part the earlier the better). Also, Neil Schon had a solo album a while back called 'Late Night' that had some pretty good stuff on it. But I certainly agree that comparing Journey to RUSH is pretty laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Don't stop believing in Rush. Though the wheel in the sky keeps on turning, the stars look down. It's Journey between the wheels. Carve away the stone, but don't fall stone in love. A sweet miracle kept us from our separate ways—faithfully faithless. Whose crying now—these tears? We're loving, touching, squeezing no matter which way the wind blows. Both bands are driven, so still they ride through the night.

Rushchick10 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I hate it when two bands I like are up against each other, but I had to go with my Canadian boys and vote for Rush. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 By the way, I don't know the correct terminology to use to ask this question, so forgive me please, but does anyone here know the range of Steve Perry's voice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) I remember that one from the old MTV days. I never cared for him but I did love that one album Escape. They did to Steve Perry what they wanted to do with Rush in the seventies and what Rush fought against. I remember when I saw Journey in concert, he was prancing around on the stage in a white coat with tails and white pants. Too, too....you know?

circumstantial tree Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 One of the reasons I fell in love with Journey and this particular album: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x1yyz Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Which Journey is in the running—the pre- or post-Steve Perry band? (Not that I would have voted for either over Rush, for what it's worth.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutman Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Personally, It's a dumb match up. The two bands are quite different. I like a lot of Journey tunes but most of them are not played on the radio.My favorite is " Edge Of The Blade". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) I saw Journey live 3 times in the very early 80's. Not gonna lie, I enjoy Journey music. Infinity is their best in my view. Feel'in That Way/Anytime gets me going every time. The vocal combo of Perry and Rolie was damn good.... :) Edited May 13, 2014 by Narpski 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think both Rolie and Schon do vocals with Steve on "People and Places". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy's Soul Patch Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Journey is responsible for the greatest music video ever made. I didn't know Journey was involved in the making of the Superconductor video!! That's crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadoood Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Journey as a band is actually pretty comparable to Rush, as far as the musicianship goes.. Schon and Steve Smith are both monster players.. But they sold their soul .. I enjoy me some Journey, but they aren't on the same level as Rush 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
