Grushkin is a leading rock historian and author of five books. Roth is a Tony-nominated Broadway director.

Other bands featured in the book are:

  • The Rolling Stones
  • The Who
  • Led Zeppelin
  • David Bowie
  • Alice Cooper

Mamma mia: ABBA beats Pink Floyd in poll

Posted November 24, 2009 by Floydian Slip

Music fans in Britain would like to see members of ’70s pop group ABBA reform more than Pink Floyd.

Music licensing firm PRS for Music conducted the poll of 1,500 Britons, which revealed 25 percent wished most for a reunion of Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Agnetha Faltskog —better known as ABBA.

The Police were second in the survey (13 percent), with Floyd tied at number three with The Smiths (11 percent).

Here’s the top 10:

  1. ABBA
  2. The Police
  3. Pink Floyd
  4. The Smiths
  5. Oasis
  6. The Jam
  7. Dire Straits
  8. The Clash
  9. Spice Girls
  10. Sex Pistols

ABBA last performed live in 1982.
