Ballots will be sent to more than 500 voters who will then select the "short list" of artists to be inducted at the 25th Annual Induction Ceremony on March 15, 2010 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.
To be eligible, an act must have released its first single or album at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination.
This year’s nominees had to release their first single no later than 1984.

Yep blah response from me as well, although you do have to appreciate what ABBA accomplished. May as well just call it the Musical Hall of Fame now though.
