** Today, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation announced that ABBA was included in the 2010 artist inductees.
The 2010 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performer inductees were chosen by over 500 voters of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. Artists are eligible for inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twenty-five years after their first recording is released.

All inductees are ultimately represented in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. Through approaches as creative and diverse as the music itself, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum
tells the story of rock music with its exhibits, education programs and Library and Archives, which will open to the public in downtown Cleveland in late 2010.

Howdy Elin, Is it just me, or does anyone else wonder why non ABBA fans wish to voice their opinions on a channel that is obviously dedicated to ABBA's music. Thanks for the great vid partner, Lenny

[SADL00KINM00N]

I wonder about that every day Lenny!! :)

It does no one any good. If I know there is something I don't like, I never even think of wasting time watching it.

Soon the ceremony begins!! I read Benny and Frida will attend :)

AS A LONG TIME ABBA FAN I think they definitely deserved the induction as they have been eligible since 1997, snubbed longer than KISS.International sales totaling close to 400 million records, major international hits, 30,000 fans at concerts is what the RRHOF considers a major accomplishment . That alone should be enough reason. Pop, Hip Hop, Alternative ,Techno,R&B are all considered Rock N' Roll so Knights in Satan's Service are not the only band deserving the honor.

Today is the big day for Abba to be inducted into The RARHOF. It's about time I think. I am thrilled at this news.

They had a big job to do, and they did it very well: keeping us all going.

Rock on ABBA... or not? I don't know where people got the sense ABBA is rock. Thought this was some sort of joke first time I heard it.

[yeamarkh]

wooooow estan guapisimas ademas no cabe duda antes era lo bueno

[GKnight2020]

ABBA makes me proud to be Swedish. (:

[Nedsdag]

Oh, calm down, KISS and Rush fans. They will eventually get into the R&R HOF.

Look how long it took ABBA and the Stooges to get in.

[Bedulonko]

Can someone tell me why ABBA is in the HOF, and a band like RUSH isn't?!

Honestly, Rush totally deserves to be inducted, maybe ABBA too (it's about Rock, though, so maybe not really...) but it's totally stupid (sorry) to induct ABBA to the HOF and not RUSH!!!

[musicmaker1001]

Who has sold the most albums world wide? #1 The Beatles, #2 Elvis, #3 MJ, #4 ABBA!!! Nice company to be in eh??

[KevindyII]

This hall of fame thing is a bunch of crap.

[Grandpaw2511]

@GKnight2020 Howdy, Here's hoping but to ABBA's true fans they already are. Thankfully folks like Elin keep their music alive on you tube for everyone to enjoy. Be Happy, Lenny
