3 bands who belong in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

JimColyer	Date: March 21, 2007 @ 5:04 PM 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. Jim Colyer http://www.jimcolyer.com

zedsalt	Date: March 22, 2007 @ 10:51 AM I feel this way every year around this time. There are always several bands that I think, "Well, it really won't BE a Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame until they induct (fill in the blank)". There are usually a couple acts that I think, "Well, yeah, of course. I'd forgotten about them, but it's only right that they be inducted." And there's usually at least one act that makes me think, "You're kidding!!! They nominated so-and-so, but NOT blah-de-blah?!?" And I really delight in all of the complaining and campaigning and boycotting...it's all the fun parts of politics only with much, much less death.

zedsalt	Date: March 23, 2007 @ 11:22 AM Y'ever notice how close the melodies are in the "tra-la-la" part of the Banana Splits theme and the "whoa-yo-yo" section of "Buffalo Soldier"?
