Jim Peterik is the most underrated song writer, he should be in the song writers hall of fame. Posted by Jon Basinger on Thursday, 11/23/2017 @ 11:12am |
Jim Peterik was also in the Ides of March. He wrote and sang lead on their biggest hit, Vehicle. Posted by Zuzu on Thursday, 11/23/2017 @ 13:11pm |

Survivor had 4 or 5 top 20 hits and Eye of the Tiger was voted as the most iconic song for film ever. Not to mention, Jim Peterik has written hits for a gazzilion other top bands. Posted by Rick Peregoy on Sunday, 02/2/2020 @ 07:50am |
"One hot wonder"? No chance! This band had album after album of great songs! I'd love to see them get inducted, it won't happen, but I'd love to see it! Posted by Jon King on Thursday, 04/16/2020 @ 18:44pm |
Jim Peterik should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an influencer, even if you don't consider the whole band Survivor. Peterik wrote Vehicle, for his first band the Ides of March, which was the fastest-selling single in the history of Warner Bros. at that time peaking at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. That was a stellar beginning for the man behind Survivor's hits, including co-writing the iconic Eye of the Tiger, major hits for 38 Special, including Hold On Loosely, and songs for Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blackhawk, Cheap Trick, Sammy Hagar, Cathy Richardson, Van Zant, Brian Wilson, REO Speedwagon, and The Beach Boys. His World Stage comcerts bring together iconic singers and musicians that keep other rock and roll influencers on stage every year. He is an overlooked gem!

Peterik should be in on his own. Frank Seidel's post above says what needs to be said about this. Posted by Fred Diamond on Wednesday, 03/31/2021 @ 15:58pm |
It's just my opinion but I feel Jami Jamison and his phenomenal band should be inducted. I'm in my 60s been there done that. Jimi voice was fantastic. He lived his music as well as entertaining on stage without going bat shit crazy and although few musicians get away with it. The half wits in these comments against him are probably too out of it to make sense to a two yr.old. Posted by Jane Hunter on Friday, 07/23/2021 @ 13:44pm |
Survivor should definetly be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They should already be in. Great band, great songs, and great musicians! Posted by Keith Rosier on Wednesday, 09/15/2021 @ 22:22pm |
For Survivor's essential songs, can, or should, I nominate any of Dave Bickler's "Real Men of Genius" vocals for Bud Light? Posted by Joe on Thursday, 09/16/2021 @ 06:09am |
Not just one movie song, two different lead singers, with more than one movie hits , lead guitarist as good as anyone and Jim p and frank s. Had over 1200 songs they wrote together. Ask other bands that used their songs and made them hits if they belong, they do by far . Posted by John on Thursday, 01/20/2022 @ 18:34pm |
Survivor should not be in the hall of fame because they were a great band and the hall of fame is a farce. If you look at the list of artists that have been inducted and then look at the artists that meet the eligibility requirements but have not been considered, you will see that the hall of fame is sham. Survivor and all of the other great bands that have not been selected should be proud of the fact that their name is not associated with that shit show.

Personally Survivor is my favorite band(2nd being Led Zeppelin and 3rd being Whitesnake) so of course there is gonna be bias here. But with music in general, it's aa very subjective topic and almost everyone is bias in one way or another. But this is just my opinion and I respect anyone else's opinion. I believe Survivor should be in the rock and roll hall of fame. Most people only know them for Eye Of The Tiger and maybe some songs like High on You, I Can't Hold Back and The Search is Over. But if you ever went into some of their less known songs. You can find some really awesome ones. Sadly with the way the band was managed and advertising. The band wasn't too successful after the two albums Eye Of The Tiger and Vital Signs. So not many know a lot of the songs from When Second's Count and Too Hot to Sleep. As well as Premonition and Caught In The Game albums. I encourage anyone too hasn't head them to look up songs like Didn't Know It Was Love, Poor Man's Son, Rebel Son, Too Hot To Sleep, Man Against The World etc. Very amazing songs I think you'll like if you like the more popular Survivor songs. I like to compare Survivor to Journey. Very beautiful ballad songs with an amazing voice from both bands. Jimi Jamison is in my opinion the most underrated singer of all time. Jimi Jamison sounds very similar to Steve Perry imo. Frankie Sullivan was also a very amazing guitarists as well. Survivor overall is in my opinion, an amazing band that I believe is on par with Journey that had bad luck after Vital Signs with management and advertising and as a result, are one of the most underrated bands of the 80's that most people think are a one hit wonder with Eye Of The Tiger. I encourage anyone to really give an honest listen to many of their less known songs. Hopefully you find any enjoyment out of them. If not that's fine. Again I respect anyone's opinion, I hope yall respect mine. If you disagree with me, then do it respectfully please. We all love music, no reason to fight over what bands we like/don't like. Agree to disagree. But yeah, I believe Survivor should be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame. And that is simply my opinion Posted by NillocWolf on Wednesday, 03/23/2022 @ 03:48am |
I feel that Survivor deserves to be in The Rock and Roll hall of fame, they won me over a long time ago. They have earned the right to be inducted because their badass ! I love these guys and I know there's a lot of people out there that love them as well. Posted by Becky on Monday, 01/30/2023 @ 15:42pm |
