The Stooges formed in nineteen sixty-seven in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Iggy Pop became famous for his wild behavior on stage. The band’s music is considered so influential that some critics say punk rock would not exist without the Stooges. Their albums “Funhouse” and “Raw Power” were especially important. Here is “Little Doll” from their first album, “The Stooges.”

The Swedish pop band ABBA was hugely successful in the nineteen seventies and early eighties. ABBA never officially broke up. But the band has not played together since nineteen eighty-two. However, its greatest hits were used in the popular musical show “Mamma Mia” which opened on Broadway in two thousand one. In two thousand eight a movie version was released. One of the songs in “Mamma Mia” is “Dancing Queen” from nineteen seventy-six.

The leader of the band Phish, Trey Anastasio, spoke at the Hall of Fame ceremony about Genesis. He said the British band questioned and broke every musical rule and boundary.
He said it was impossible to overstate the influence Genesis had on him as a young musician. Genesis has been together with some member changes since nineteen sixty-seven. It started out playing progressive rock and producing concept albums. Later, the band began creating high quality pop music.
