Title: R&R Hall of Fame, class of '10: ABBA, others
Post by: Martin on December 15, 2009, 08:03:21 AM: Congratulations ABBA (also Stooges, Genesis, Hollies, Jimmy Cliff) for being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/31347756/the_stooges_genesis_abba_lead_the_rock_and_roll_hall_of_fames_class_of_2010)!

The news was quite surprising for the Swedish pop group ABBA. "I didn't think this would happen, because we were a pop band, not a rock band," says Benny Andersson, who helped found the group in 1970. "Being a foreigner from the North Pole, this feels really good."

Post by: nec13 on December 16, 2009, 12:47:46 AM: Congrats to all of this year's inductees. However, I'm disappointed that the Monkees were passed over yet again. Their glaring omission from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a grave musical injustice that must be righted.

Although, I suspect as long as Jann Wenner is alive, it will never happen.
