New York Dolls

The New York Dolls are a rock and roll group formed in New York City in 1971. They found little success during their initial run, but the New York Dolls prefigured much of what was to come in the punk rock era and even later; the Dolls' over-the-top crossdressing influenced the look of many glam metal groups, especially that of early Mötley Crüe, and their shambling, sloppy but highly energetic playing style set the tone for many later rock and roll bands.

Queen + Paul Rodgers

November 2004, the first annual UK Music Hall Of Fame induction ceremony takes place. As "Queen" are inducted, surviving active members Brian May and Roger Taylor (without bassist John Deacon who retired from the music business in 1997) play the band's double A-side hits, "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions", complete with former "Free" and "Bad Company" frontman Paul Rodgers. The reaction is immense and the crowd waits in eager anticipation for the return of the act as they close the show with Free's classic, "All Right Now", with a little help from "The Polyphonic Spree".
