    this is definitely a popularity contest..i mean bad brains is second to last and journey first by a mile

    My wedding is in 2 weeks. Journey is one of the few bands on the "do not play" list.
    congrats on the wedding first and foremost!

    Journey-Seperate Ways is my favorite of theirs, but i just cant grasp on how they are beating out all these bands...oh well
    Separate Ways was the first rock song I learned to play on the piano when I was a kid. :lol:
    There's on song in particular we don't want played. That one everyone sings. I can't even remember the name of it. I think I blocked it from my memory lol.

    i think there are about 800-1000 voting members. Each one puts in their top 5 . So the fan vote is 1 of the 800 or 1000. I'm not sure of the exact number of members.

    Ha! Good call. The last wedding reception I went to had a dj which I am not against but man the guy was lame. Pretty sure Journey was played.
    I'm through with screaming

    I'm not really surprised. PJ was megabig up to Vitalogy. They took a different trajectory starting with No Code. Instead of a giant base of casual fans, they have a smaller/dedicated base of core fans. I often have a hard time judging how popular they are, because I spent alot of time on this message board and thus get a biased viewpoint. I have noticed that PJ is pretty clever with their touring. They seem to play the US NorthEast alot which has alot of people and is easier to sell out shows. The tours also tend to be smaller. As they have a core dedicated fan base, people travel to see them (as quite a few people rarely get shows where they live). I've wondered how well PJ shows would sell out if they did big epic tours (two year tours with shittonnes of dates like the Foo Fighters do).

    I'm always checked into sanity FM when I tell people I'm going to see another PJ show and the response is "They still tour?". lol. It reminds me of the things I mentioned above. PJ with their career trajectory seem to be right where they want to be. They have a solid core fanbase that supports them. They tour as much as they want to, but they're pretty much invisible to the world outside of that core fanbase.

    I thought they would beat out Yes and ELO at least.......didn't expect them first by any stretch of the means

    you are spot on about what you wrote...i think it was 2003-04 last "big" tour?
