hail, hail rock n' roll

Congratulations to ABBA, Genesis, Iggy Pop & The Stooges, Jimmy Cliff and The Hollies for their induction at this year's Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony.

ABBA is one act nobody thought would ever see the inside of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. However, they've proven that although they weren't a household name in the US, their music has become a part of the fabric of our everyday lives ever since the premiere of Mamma Mia! on Broadway nearly a decade ago.

With only one #1 hit on the US charts compared to nine in the UK, ABBA are arguably bigger now that they are apart than when they were together.

Here are last night's acceptance speeches from two members of ABBA, Benny and Frida.



For a historic look back at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, check out Time Life's 9 DVD set"Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Live". It's a must have for any music fan.
