Queen

Queen was phenomenal in success, legacy, and influence. They were the most popular glam band of all time. A musical has been made about them. They have been cited as an influence by Iron Maiden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Def Leppard among others. Despite their immense success and influence they were not inducted until their third year of eligibility, a shame. They were inducted by Dave Grohl of Nirvana.
