I don't know how they will do Journey, but I'm guessing they are bringing all the former members back. I really hope Steve Perry goes to the ceremony. If he does, this would be the first time since the 90s that he and his former bandmates played and sang together.

Yes! I love Yes. If only Chris Squire could have lived to see this.

P.S. Since Yes has had a large cast of characters over the years, it's kind of important to note which members will be inducted into the Hall. This is from YesWorld, the band's official web site:
The members of YES who will officially be inducted into the Rock Hall are the ‘UNION‘ tour line-up: current members Alan White and Steve Howe, the band’s late bassist and founding member Chris Squire, and former members Jon Anderson (vocals), Bill Bruford (drums), Tony Kaye (keyboards), Rick Wakeman (keyboards) and Trevor Rabin (guitar).

I went on R&R HoF website earlier today after I posted the list.

Here's who R&R HoF are inducting for Journey:
Jonathan Cain, Aynsley Dunbar, Steve Perry, Gregg Rolie, Neal Schon, Steve Smith, Ross Valory.

I have no idea who the other people are. I just know Jonathan, Steve P, and Neal. I looked up these guys and majority of them were in the band since the beginning and some left the band.

Jonathan, Neal, Steve Smith(he just returned to the band just last year after being gone for 17 years), and Ross are current members and Steve Perry Gregg, and Aynsley are former members who were a big part of their huge success in the mid 70s to mid 80s. Neal is the only member who's been there since the beginning and never left.

Oh. Did anybody knew that Irving is their manager. He's been their manager since 1995

Gregg Rolie used to be in Santana. Aynsley Dunbar toured with the World Class Rockers with Randy.

I'm psyched Journey got in, even though they get flak for being an 80s band. Their 70s stuff gave them some cred I suppose. Too bad at The Cars didn't make it.

I'm a little surprised PJ and Tupac got in during their 1st year of eligibility.

[shunlvswx]

The people who are voiting are probably people 30 and under maybe 40 and under. So of course Pearl Jam and Tupac would get a nod their first year of eligibility while their are still lots of acts and singers who don't even get on the ballot.

Thank goodness the Eagles was picked the first year they were eligible.
