T. Rextasy

T. Rex, the brainchild of former child actor/model Marc Bolan, released a series of classic singles from 1970,when the band changed from Folk group Tyrannosaur Rex to the Glam Rock band T. Rex, until Bolan death in a car accident in 1977. In my view T. Rex is one of the most underrated bands of all-time, their singles are timeless and still sound fresh and relevant to this day. While the majority of their albums weren’t as strong as the singles, the LPs Electric Warrior, The Slider and Dandy In the Underworld are among the best of the Glam Rock genre.
