"Metal Guru" by T. Rex

A band as mighty as the dinosaur, T. Rex were pioneers of glam rock. Despite much wider popularity in their native England, the band only enjoyed a single hit in the US when "Bang A Gong (Get It On)" flew to #10 in 1972. The song went on to be inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame. "Bang A Gong" also resurfaced in a big way in 1985 when Robert Palmer, while in the band Power Station, took to it #9.

The band could not leverage this success for another hit. "Telegram Sam" stalled at #67 in 1972 and became their last chart appearance. Frontman Marc Bolan then left to pursue a solo career, but never returned to the US charts.

"Metal Guru" is a well-known song from 1972, although it never saw any chart action in the US. In my opinion, one of T. Rex's finest moments.
