The T. Rex Thread

I just got "Eletric Warrior" and it rules. Any fans here?

[Mama Kin]

I have Electric Warrior and The Slider. Not a huge fan, but definately love their stuff.

I've only ever heard one of their songs "Twentieth century boy." it's fucking great though!

I've got Electric Warrior too. I have to be in a very specific mood to listen to this album though.

Best song "Life's a Gas". "Get in on" gets on my nerves despite been their most famous song.  This is an interesting band, but never got into them otherwise I'd bought other albums. If any of you have seen the movie "Billy Elliot" you have listened then to T-Rex cause half of the songs there (or maybe all of them don't really remember) are by T-Rex.

Yeah, 'Billy Elliot' is an excellent film and the T-Rex songs featured on the soundtrack are amazing.? I always think of the music of T-Rex as being very overlooked and underrated by most people.? Marc Bollan created some really wonderful music during his short lifetime.?

Cheers,

Back in the day, I loved T Rex. I actually seduced a girl to their music one time. The thing is, some of their stuff was great, as on Electric Warrior and the other one with Mark Bolen on the cover, forgot the name. But when they were bad, they sucked big time. I saw them with Blue Oyster Cult and T Rex was  booed  off the stage, really. Things were thrown and they had to leave. So T Rex could be great, but when they were bad, they were really bad, and you never knew which was coming. And the albums were erratic too. Two albums were good, really good, but a lot of their stuff was really really bad.
