The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a fucking joke. Citing it as a badge of credibility is worse than the 'classically trained' bit. Seriously, what credibility can there be to this when ABBA is in and the likes of Deep Purple, Steppenwolf, Thin Lizzy, Motorhead, and Iron Maiden aren't?
UGGGGGG,
Even if you magically removed ABBA from the RR hall of fame, with all the artists that ARE in there are you going to say they all suck because some you like didn't make it?
Are the Beatles in it? Is Bob Dylan in it?<--------Hate his voice. Dylan sounds to me like a cat being strangled.
Why yes they are in the hall of fame.

The inductees are limited just like the baseball hall of fame an NFL hall of fame. If the Rock and Roll Hall of fame were a Joke it would make more sense if the Beatles and Dylan were not in it at all.
I'd say you need to go through that entire list of artists before you call the Rock and Roll Hall of fame a joke.
Like I said, ABBA is talented. That is why they got as far as they did and why they are in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame.
