ABBA, Genesis and The Hollies will be inducted Monday at the annual ceremony at New York's Waldorf Astoria hotel. They'll be joined by the Stooges and reggae superstar Jimmy Cliff.
The four-member Swedish hit machine ABBA split up in 1982 after producing including "Dancing Queen" and "Waterloo." The band never reformed, but the Broadway and movie production "Mamma Mia" kept their songs alive.
Genesis was a leader in Britain's progressive rock movement behind singer Peter Gabriel in the 1970s, then produced pop hits in the 1980s after Gabriel left and Phil Collins took over the microphone.
The Hollies produced British invasion hits like "Bus Stop" and "Carrie-Anne" and, after singer Graham Nash left, the 1970s standards "The Air That I Breathe" and "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother."
