- “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.
