ABBA certainly left their mark in music. Sure not all of it is hard rock, but they had some rock songs.

Take a good long look at the inductee list:

There are lots of very mellow artists in there....oh like Brenda Lee, Joni Mitchell, Dusty Springfield, Etta James and Bob Marley to name a few. I would never call them rock n' roller's, but hey...they are there.
