You could just keep posting Bolan over and over and there will always be something else to post! Even though certain songs of his were very similar to each other, he was still incredible.

I think The Who mentions T-Rex in one of their '80s songs. Can't remember which one and too busy to look it up.

I like the film Billy Elliot and love the way the song is used when Billy is learning to dance.

Ah, the band the Runaways used to dance to at the English Disco....

I saw T-Rex open for Humble Pie in 1972. Both bands were GREAT!

I don't know if the Who mention T-Rex, but Mott the Hoople do in All The Young Dudes - "I need tv but I got T-Rex"

20th Century Boy, Yeah cool and sexy

Ballroom of Mars...Lennonish

I've just been listening to the first Tyrannosaurus Rex album (My People Were Fair, etc.) and I dunno, acoustic songs about the ass-kickery of a nice set of wheels don't really do it for me...

Anyway yeah, I like the T.Rex stuff though.

Are they the ones that did Bang A Gong?

yes. and Jeepster

Never heard of Jeepster.

Girl I'm just a Jeepster for your love

Marc Bolan kicked ass. Him and Bowie were Glam Rock

Yes Bowie was so. . .

Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
Mott the Hoople
T Rex

absolutely f'ing amazing music...

I didn't know that Rick Wakeman played melotron on Space Oddity.

Ziggy was sure zaggedy.
