Benny Andersson never expected ABBA to make it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Swedish foursome will join the prestigious roll of honor much to the surprise of the “Waterloo” hitmakers. The musical group join The Hollies, The Stooges, Genesis and Jimmy Cliff in the upcoming induction.
“I didn’t think this would happen, because we were a pop band, not a rock band. Being a foreigner from the North Pole, this feels really good,” Andersson said.

No Run-D.M.C. Performance at Hall of Fame Ceremony
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Awards, Hip-Hop & Rap
Even though they will become only the second hip hip act inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Run-D.M.C. won’t be bringing the house down this weekend.
At Saturday’s ceremony in Cleveland, attendees will not see any musical performance from the two remaining survivors of the group. Instead, a video montage will be used to celebrate their history.
After the shooting death of DJ Jason “Jam Master Jay” Mizell in 2002, Joseph “Rev Run” Simmons and Darryl “DMC” McDaniels made the decision not to perform together again. “For me, I tell people, ‘Do you want to see me and Run running around without Jay?’ ” DMC told MTV News. “They tell me I could get Grandmaster Flash [to fill in]. But I can get any DJ in the world if I want. It wouldn’t be right. I can’t replace my drummer.”
