Why they might be annoying:

    They are considered one of the founders of glam rock.
    They are a one-hit wonder in the United States.
    The band's original name was Tyrannosaurus Rex, but they decided to shorten it to T. Rex.
    They were heavily into drugs.
    ‘Bang a Gong' was used in a commercial for J.C. Penney.
    Their debut album's title contained 20 words.
    Drummer, Mickey Finn was allegedly hired by Bolan because of his good looks and his motorcycle.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Marc Bolan was killed in a car crash in 1977.
    Although they only had one hit in the U.S., they had several hits in England.
    After the band's breakup, Marc went on to host his own show that featured up and coming punk bands.
    ‘Bang a Gong' is loaded with sexual innuendos that a lot of people didn't pick up on.
    Their strange sexual innuendos were an inspiration for some AC/DC songs like ‘The Jack.'
