where the fuck is Rush?
Agreed. I honestly can't see why Rush isn't being inducted and three bands that I've never heard of and two more that I barely recognize are.

Just goes to show how meaningless the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame actually is, I suppose.

I don't care how Influential/innovative/whatever other characteristics are used to judge this, how can ABBA be considered Rock n Roll?

(And before pointing me back at the list of pop artists already in; previous mistakes don't excuse future ones)

ABBA are a Pop Rock group. Most of their songs have some Rock in them.

If a song was just Piano and Vocals, that would be considered Pop, but not Pop Rock.

Rush became eligible at least 10 years ago right? That they aren't in there still baffles me. Is there some technicality that is holding them out?


EDIT: Apparently, the guys over at The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame thinks that progressive rock does not belong there.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree...
I can honestly say I don't hear one little bit of rock whenever I hear ABBA

Rush, quite frankly, aren't that great imo. Sure, they are influential and yes, they are talented, but they personally do absolutely nothing for me. I find them boring and overrated.

But yeah, I agree with they guy who said the HOF list means absolutely nothing. All it is is a popularity thing.

Not to be rude, but this isn't the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame. Madonna, ABBA, Grandmaster Flash, and some other inductees are not Rock. More like pop. They might as well change the name to the Music Hall of Fame.


No you're not being rude, and I agree. The name really should be the American Music Hall of Fame, or something to with the RIAA. Beside that, If you ever get a chance to go, It's awesome, albeit I've only been to the annex in SOHO, but that was a great time, especially Yoko's Lennon Exhibit, which was very emotional. The exhibit is limited run, and I'm not sure if it's still open.

BTW Andami, love your Avatar. Vault-Boy is the greatest mascot ever

Yeah, I can't wrap my head around this whole deal, but that's the reason I found online. Official or not, it appeared in every article I found about this.

Personally I think that ABBA has enough Rock in the majority of their songs to make it into the HoF, plus they are, in my opinion, one of the bands of all time; not to mention their commercial success is *almost* unparalleled (I believe they will be the fourth highest selling Artists in it).
