T.Rex - Bang A Gong (Get It On)

Great song, from an early glam rock band that for a few years in the early 1970s became nearly as popular in the UK as the Beatles had been.

Great production on this studio track, too. Have never heard a live version that I like nearly as well.

why some lesser artists are in the HoF when more deserving artists aren't.

Like Paul Rodgers and his bands Free and Bad Company.

I read somewhere, though, that Rodgers once told Ahmet Ertegun, who founded the HoF, that rock music didn't belong in a museum. Which might have offended him...
