The pioneers of glam. Hail thee

Whenever you see a pic of T.Rex, it's always Marc Bolan. Does anyone know what the rest of the band looks like?

Nothing much on google except a bunch of dinosaurs

Love T Rex. I have been listening to him since I was a little kid and the songs just rock. They get stuck in my head and in a good way. Love "Slider" and "Electric Warrior". My favorite song by him is "Rip Off" that song never fails to get me pumping my fist and shouting to the top of my sucky lungs. I suck at singing.

LOL. XD

Yes, T. Rex really are amazing. My favorite track would probably be Planet Queen...I played it to my friend, whose response was, "That's the most random song I have ever heard." And yes, Marc was and is amazingly beautiful. (I'm sort of a closet Bolan fangirl, you might say. Might shed the 'closet' aspect of it quite soon, though. )

If you want to know more about T.Rex and Marc Bolan, you can watch Born to Boogie. A documentary and a movie about Marc Bolan, his music and things like that. It is pretty interesting.

Personaly, T.Rex is one of my favorite band but i can't tell you which song is my favorite. There's too much good tracks. But my favorite album is Electric Warrior, for sure!

Born to boogie. Definately. T Rex are one of my favourite bands of the early 70s. But check out the stuff Marc Bolan has done in the 60s. That is super cool. At that time he was sith a tabla player and they called themselves Tyrannosaurus Rex. There is a box set of 3 CDs available with radio sessions by the duo. There is some great mystical stuff on there.
