ABBA-less R&R Hall of Fame Induction

ABBA-less R&R Hall of Fame Induction: ABBA-solutely Anticlimactic - Stop The Presses!

What do you call a two-person ABBA reunion? Besides "AB," that is? How about a big whiff? The news that only two out of four ABBA members will be attending the group's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame tonight in New York is gravely disappointing news. "The winner takes it all," but, of course, the winner has no obligation to actually show, much less reunite and make all of our most pop-tastic dreams come true.

Adding insult to injury, Peter Gabriel will not be attending to take part in Genesis' induction. Between these two sets of no-shows, it's clear that the Rock Hall is failing in its greatest responsibility... which is to publicly shame geezers who otherwise have no inclination to put aside rancor with their old bandmates into getting it together one last time.

Not unexpected at all.

Another year goes by, and another year of hilarious nominations.
ABBA...what a joke.
I am actually flabbergasted to see bands like Genesis and The Stooges nominated. I mean, they are rock and roll...

Deep Purple
Thin Lizzy
Rush
Alice Cooper
Ted Nugent
Motorhead
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Joe Cocker
Bad Company
The Moody Blues
Jethro Tull
Dire Straits
The Doobie Brothers
Bon Jovi
Boston
Cheap Trick
Foreigner
George Thorogood
Grand Funk Railroad
Heart
Journey
Kansas
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Styx
38 Special

Just to name a few that have been slapped in the face yet again.

I do remember a friend of mine commenting earlier this year saying that ABBA was offered some thing like a $1 BIllion Dollars to do a reunion tour, and the band turned it down.

Ha, might as well of added the Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block and Brittany Spears too

 

[Hefemeister]

Wait, Britney is not in the r&r hall of fame yet? blasphemy.

 

[CntdwnToExtn]

Haha, nope not yet. I believe you need 25 years of performance.
But hey, add her anyway because she's sold millions of albums and revolutionized how talentless you need to be these days for the music industry.
****, add Ellen Degeneres too. She's obviously a huge music industry icon and can judge in detail how well someone's voice is.
