We Protest!!!: ABBA Makes The Rock Hall Of Fame And KISS Does Not

By Rod Lockwood

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: That is a scream of abject frustration at the idea that ABBA is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and endless real bands are not, including recent nominees KISS and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. There is nothing "rock" about ABBA. Nothing. It's as absurd as Madonna being the in the rock hall and it makes the whole thing a ridiculous joke. Not putting KISS in is especially galling, given the impact the band had on stage theatrics and the sheer number of records they sold. A Thin Slices pox on you, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
