They are the group the British public would most like to see reform and are also behind the most popular Eurovision song. But Swedish quartet Abba can now add another honour to their list. The band are to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in the US. After several nominations in the past, they have finally made the cut alongside Genesis, Jimmy Cliff and The Stooges. The Eurovision stars formed in 1970 and went on to become one of the most successful pop acts ever, with hits such as Mamma Mia, Waterloo and Dancing Queen, before splitting 1983. Abba will be inducted in a ceremony in New York on March 15.
