<p>Andersson said that he never expected ABBA to make it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame."I didn't think this would happen, because we were a pop band, not a rock band. Being a foreigner from the North Pole, this feels really good," Andersson said.<br /><br />The four piece Swedish band are set to join the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year, along with The Hollies, the Stooges, the Genesis and Jimmy Cliff.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Stooges frontman Iggy Pop, 62, said he was delighted to finally be recognised.<br /><br />"We've been rejected seven times, and we would have set a record, I think, if it happened again," Pop said.<br /><br />All the band will be inducted at a ceremony on March 15</p>
