There are those in the Hall for one album, and it can even be debated in selected cases that it is for one song. With that said, can a case be made for the Kingsmen whose lone hit was a song that they didn’t even write? It is very hard to argue that the Kingsmen rendition of Louie Louie could be the most defining Garage song of all time and helped make Rock and Roll unsafe again. If any band could get in for a song they didn’t write, this is it.
