Is T-Rex /mu/core? I've been digging them a lot lately.

I ve listened to one album of theirs and it was so mediocore and unoriginal i completly forgot what it wascalled

>>71869634
are you gonna stop listening once you find out they aren't?

>>71869634
For the most part no. Get the "Great Hits 1972-1977: The A-Sides" comp, it's got a bunch of great non-album singles as well as the best tracks from the later mediocre albums.

They aren't technically /mu/core but that doesn't mean shit and you should feel ashamed for asking such a stupid question. That being said, I love T.Rex, they are my favorite band.

Im not a fan personally, but marc bolan made a pretty huge mark on music. Pioneered glam and inspired a shitton of british musicians

I constantly confuse T. Rex and Dinosaur Jr. even though I know they're completely different.
Does anyone else do this?

If you like T-Rex then check out this video.
In my opinion this version of Telegram Sam is better than the original.

Fucking kill yourself.

I didn't like them at first but it grew on me after a while. Children of a Revolution is great.

Get "TANX"
after that you pretty much can cherry pick the singles
Pre- "Electric Warrior" get the S/t
Before that "Unicorn"
Before that is all Acid Folk style

Radiohead is secretly on the same level of infantile art as U2

>>71869634
It doesn't matter what they are, I certainly do like them though

Ballrooms of mars is a fanatastic song

It doesn't have "Salamanda Palaganda", but still great.

Their good albums are some of the GOATs, but Marc's drug habits more or less completely fucked his songwriting skills and their later albums are mostly quite weak. Get the Slider and Electric Warrior at the very least though, and get a collection of their singles, most of their best tracks were non-album singles.

Electric Warrior [Reprise, 1972]

Back when he was an acoustic warrior who spelled out his group's name in full, Marc Bolan was considered "progressive", meaning that he was as foolish as Donovan, but not as famous. A freak hit turned him into a singer of rhythmic fairy tales for British prepubes, exactly what he was always suited for, and the great "Bang a Gong" extends its subject matter into the rock mythos itself, which has its limits, but sure beats unicorns. Now if only he'd recycle a few more pop readymades, I'd quit complaining about fey. B
