1 ABBA - ABBA from Sweden sold 400 million records and had 9 number ones in the UK. They recorded 110 songs in English 1972-82. Dancing Queen, Take A Chance On Me & The Winner Takes It All are among their hits. All 4 members of ABBA have had successful solo careers: Agnetha Faltskog, Frida Lyngstad, Benny Andersson & Bjorn Ulvaeus. Benny & Bjorn went into musical theatre with Chess & Kristina. Mamma Mia!, based on ABBA songs, is the biggest musical of the century and will be a movie in 2008.

2 THE GUESS WHO - This Canadian group should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Their string of hits includes These Eyes, American Woman & No Time. The Guess Who proved to be a prolific album band. Lead singer Burton Cummings may have the best voice in rock. Guitarist Randy Bachman founded Bachman-Turner Overdrive and recorded the classic Takin' Care Of Business.

3 STEPPENWOLF - John Kay and Steppenwolf achieved immortality with their multi-generational anthem Born To Be Wild. They were one of the first heavy metal groups and went on to produce albums of social and political substance. Kay and his mother escaped from Germany after World War II, and his background has played a role in his songwriting.

ABBA - I don't know any of the music except, "dancing queen", which is a painfully horrible song. i'd rather listen to nickleback, its so bad. The world is full of sheep, so I'd have to hear something convincing.

The Guess Who - Fuck yes, they should be in. Surprised they're not.

someone mentioned Rush - of course, they should too.

Pixies - definately (don't think they sold 400 million copies?)

there are a lot that are due.

Pearl Jam and Soundgarden belong there, IMO.

Rush.

ABBA- Hell no
The Guess Who- No
Steppenwolf- No
The Cars- Yes
Journey- Yes
Steve Miller- Yes
Joy Division- No
Genesis- Maybe
Rush- Yes
Cheap Trick- Maybe
Alice Cooper- No
The Pixies- Yes
10cc-No
Buckley- No
The Replacements- Maybe
Nick Drake-No
Yes- Maybe

The most glaring omission of any snubbed band has got to be Kiss. First and foremost I am not a fan, but its hard to believe they haven't been inducted.

I believe at this point, Rush is one of the most deserving bands yet to be inducted.

Some of these are lame, and some are more influencial than others, but I think that all are eligible as of next year.

RunDMC, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Buckley, Social D, and probably a few others on these lists aren't even elligble yet. 25 years from first album release... but yes, they should be when they are elligible.

Pearl Jam and toast

Thats a bit of an ugly list.......thank god it wont be forever until some 90's bands can be introduced

No way Jeff Buckley gets in sorry to say. Only one full album released while alive, (as far as I know) and his most popular/famous song being a cover does not make a Hall Of Fame.

Ok, so you agree with Rush, but Steppenwolf? You think they're a knock off? I disagree. Also, Yes?? Its hard for me to fathom why you think they have no artistic integrity, or are a knockoff. Please, enlighten me. Same also goes for King Crimson.

thank you.

yos would you be interested in a road trip to balt with other board members and i to cornell

Steppenwolf is going to the pool hall in your Camaro music. Its testosterone fueled cock rock full of simple, unoriginal instrumentation, and even simpler lyrics. I can't tell the difference between Steppenwolf, Foghat, Bad Company, or any of that shit. Magic Carpet Ride may have been a good song but Steppenwolf sure as shit didn't do enough for at least 25 years to earn the right to be inducted into the Hall.

King Crimson can write as many 8 minute songs as they want but it doesn't change the fact they were boring.

I can see you havent broadened your horizons since the last time a year ago when you faught the whole measage pit on your opinions on punk rock a year ago.

This is all opinion, and the sad part is the same crap gets said about all the nineties bands. Thank god some people in this world dont base things on opinion only.

I dont like any of these bands, but bad company, king krimson, stepponwolf had great carreers in the music business. Boring I cant tell you how many people think pj is boring, owell.
Thats life, but if you think your reson is the reason they are not in, your full of yourself.
They put rap stars in.
It comes down to eligibillity, money, and the pannel that votes. thoses bands will make their way.
I also do not think metalica pj, and some of these bands are going in on their first year of eligibility either.

First of all, Abba is not rock music

Second of all Rush are dreadful

That being said, heres some more bands that should be in it

The Cars
Journey (I know they are a bit cheesy and considered corporate but that got incredibly talented musicians and plenty of hits to back it up)
Joy Division
Steve Miller Band
Genesis


Thats all I can think of right now.........I always forget who is in and who is not

THIS IS THE POST OF THE CENTURY.

The cars
journey, a bit cheesey
joy division

these 3 bands im not saying they wont get in, but to say rush is dreadfull comppared to these bands in nonsense and quite frankly goes borderline troll, on a rock music forum.


WOW

Reason #1 Steppenwolf should be in the HOF:

The Pusher.

enough said.

The Guess Who have a great shot at it..

ABBA is a shit disco pop band. Britney Spears has platnum albums too.

Rush definetly, Yes definetly. King Crimson definetly. Those are probably the 3 best american (or in the case of king crimson british/australian) prog rock bands ever.

I thought the Cars were already in (obviously they aren't if you listed them, but they should be) and the Steve Miller Band is gonna get in or get really close if they don't.

The Pixies better get in when the time comes.. should be soon...5-10 years max.

YOSI AND PJ AND TOAST, I can always count on credible statements from you 2, thank god.
Rush is canadian but yes american progressive.

I think he should be honored if not inducted.. That's a long ass ceremony, I'm sure they could take 10 minutes, say a few words, then have someone special come up and sing "Grace" or something. Trouble is I can't think of anyone recent with as good a voice as Jeff had...

I know it ain't gonna happen, but it would be nice..
