On ABBA Being a Member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Why don't they just put Barry Manilow, Air Supply, and the Captain and Tennille, too, in while they're at it? I mean, if your going to be absurd and make a total joke about it, go for it.

The HOF...something that started as a good idea,but developed into a sham.

Hell....Kiss got in last year.

I'm not a big Kiss fan, either, but at least they (kinda) play rock and roll. ABBA's pure pop and not even good pop.

There are quite a few Doo Wop groups in the HOF....they cant be considered R&R.....but the music sure was good.

Yeah, I don't have a problem with folks like the Temptations, Johnny Cash, Miles Davis, Bill Monroe, the Supremes, Jimmie Rodgers, etc. being in in that a) they were damned good and b) their music greatly influenced rock and roll.

Rusty will likely riff on me being bald or something for months for this... but I love ABBA.

Though I will agree, they aren't rock and roll.

I'll tell you dmarks,I thought the dark haired girl in ABBA was hotter then hell.

Took the words out of my mouth, Russ (though I must confess to remembering that both of them were hot).
