This is it, the final two days for fans to vote for this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees.
Bon Jovi remains in first place with 1.1-million votes followed by The Moody Blues at just under 900,000, Dire Straits is closing in on 600,000 votes and The Cars and Judas Priest are in forth and fifth place, respectively, separated by less than 20,000 votes.
One of those voting everyday is Moody Blues' drummer Graeme Edge, who, while honored by the nomination, says the whole process is really more important to their fans.
Graeme Edge says The Moody Blues don't need the acclimation of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. OC:...for the people anyway. :13 [Phone Quality]
"Our acclimation comes from our fans. We rarely play to less than a sell-out and that's all we need. But our fans would like it [if we were inducted], so, we do it for them. We always have played for the people anyway."
