- “Bang a Gong (Get It On)” (Electric Warrior, 1971) Built on a Bo Diddley-esque shuffle, powered by a Chuck Berry-inspired riff, and glistening with a lithe, beguiling sexuality that is all Marc Bolan, “Bang a Gong (Get It On)” is one of those immediately arresting pop hits that never wears out its welcome.
- “The Slider” (The Slider, 1972) The title track to T. Rex’s second-best album is a masterful lesson in musical restraint, with the drum beat stumbling in like a grinning stoner while the electric guitar growls like a drugged wild animal.
- “Jeepster” (Electric Warrior, 1971) Opening with drummer Bill Legend’s shuffling boogie beat (he often deployed a sly trick where the beat sounds like it’s about to trip all over itself before easing into a confident but casual lock), “Jeepster” is a delirious cauldron of jump blues, spiky guitar riffs and libidinous hissing.
- “Children of the Revolution” (single, 1972) Glam rock was often criticized for eschewing intricacies in favor of straightforward song structures, so it’s deliciously fitting that Bolan’s glam generational anthem barely bothers with verses; at two minutes and a half, “Children of the Revolution” gets to the howling falsetto of the chorus as quickly and often as possible on this surprisingly tough rocker.

- "Bang a Gong (Get It On)" From: 'Electric Warrior' (1971) "Get It On" (as it was called in the U.K.) or "Bang a Gong" (like it was titled in the U.S.) is the definitive T. Rex classic.
- "Metal Guru" From: 'The Slider' (1972) The kickoff song to The Slider, which many consider Marc Bolan's finest album, "Metal Guru" is first-class T. Rex.
- "Telegram Sam" From: 'The Slider' (1972) The first single released from The Slider, and the third No.1 U.K. hit for T. Rex, "Telegram Sam" is prime bump-n-grind rock 'n' roll action.
- "20th Century Boy" From: U.K. Single (1973) "20th Century Boy" fits perfectly in the T. Rex Top 10 Songs, as it was one of the loudest, most grooving singles T. Rex ever released.
