Black Monk Time Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 They've been my favourite band for a while now. I really like everything Marc did: his early Bob Dylan covers, his weird folk stuff in Tyrannosaurus Rex, and T.Rex. For such a great band, they're terribly underrated. If you haven't heard any of their stuff, I really recommend you get Electric Warrior, The Slider, or this greatest hits album.So yeah, any other fans?Here's some great videos of them:"20th Century Boy""Dandy in the Underworld" "Summertime Blues" "Hot Love" Quote
UseYourAppetite Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 They're great, 20th Century Boy is my favourite. Quote
Binge_And_Slash Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Never saw the hype, apart from Metal Guru and Ride A White Swan everything else just drives me insane. Quote

Black Monk Time Posted January 21, 2008 Author Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) Electric Warrior, along with The Slider, is one of the best glam rock albums ever. After those, everything started to get worse; Tanx is good but it has too much filler, the first half is Zinc Alloy is mostly forgettable, Bolan's Zip Gun could have been a good album but Gloria Jones ruined it. Being an over-the-top fan I still love them all, though. Do you like Dandy in the Underworld? I've been listening to it a lot recently. It was a big improvement from the albums before it - I'd put it right up there with Electric Warrior... the title-track is one of the best songs Marc wrote. "I'm a Fool For You Girl", "Teen Riot Structure", "Universe" and "Groove a Little" are some of my favourite T.Rex songs as well. Edited January 21, 2008 by Mike Oxlong Quote
peg Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 i used to love them, but it wore off quickly. well all the well known tracks are good yes of course but abit annoying and overrated in my opinion.i prefer light of love and dreamy lady, theyll do for me Quote
