(Actually since it's "Mark" Feld they don't share the exact same name, is that close enough?)

The Nottingham band had a very infectious sound which covered many bases such as the combination of country and reggae on ‘Lonesome Cowboy’. Richard Snow was a good-humored front man and the set got better and better. ‘Expectation’ had a strong lyric and the band had more willingess to experiment than most.

I tried to find a coin or token that incorporated a top hat and glitter, but came up short.

You can also leave the bike at the front office if I'm not in!
I guess no one's issued a "Rocky Horror" commemorative coin set with Columbia on it yet....

<< <i>The "well-loved" part of the clue kept me from finding the answer.
That's because you are America-centric.
T-Rex outsold the Beatles over the peaks of both their heydays.
T-Rextasy was what the newspapers around the world called it back then.
Marc Bolan always knew he would be killed in a car crash even when he was a child, so he intentionally never learned to drive.
At age 29 he was killed when his wife lost control of their car and struck a tree. No drugs were involved either.
That tree is now a celebrated and well decorated sanctuary where his fans still continue to maintain and decorate.
It's a virtual holy place to millions. People from all over the world continually come to visit the location.
For whatever reason, most likely because he was ahead of his time, T-Rex never made it big in the USA.
Only one song ever made it to the top of the charts here, "Bang a Gong" and that wasn't even the real name of the song, the actual title was "Get it on", but there was already a song by that name recorded in America, so it was changed for the USA release.
A huge number of successful artists credit Marc Bolan for their inspiration, including David Bowie and Elton John, just to name a couple. They both played backup to his band and were included in a few of his videos. Yes, he may have been the first to do video releases of his songs in the early 70s.

I think he was referring to the numismatist, not the musician....

That's cool.
I just had to add to the trivia.
Obviously I was, and still am a huge Marc Bolan fan.
