details:

Abba are to enter the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with four other acts including UK prog-rockers Genesis.

The Stooges, Jimmy Cliff and The Hollies will also be inducted in a ceremony in New York on 15 March. The performers were chosen from a longlist announced earlier this year, which had included the Red Hot Chili Peppers and rock band Kiss.

It is unlikely that Swedish band Abba, who disbanded in 1983, will stage a reunion performance for the event.

Health problems

The pop quartet had been previously nominated for induction but failed to make the final cut.

Genesis keyboardist Tony Banks told Billboard there is a question mark hanging over their performance due to frontman Phil Collins' recent back surgery.

"Phil's got a few physical problems at the moment which means I don't think he'd be able to play," he said. "We'll face that particular hurdle when we get to it."

I'm ticked off again, no Hall & Oates.

But I'm glad Genesis made it in. Now does that include all members of the band, former & current?

Me too! When are H&O going to get proper credit!! They are so great and so few appreciate them.

As for Genesis, I wondered that too. Does it include Peter Gabriel?
