T. Rex were an English rock band, formed in 1967 by singer/songwriter and guitarist Marc Bolan. The group came to an end [citation needed] after Bolan's death in a car crash in September 1977.
- “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.

- “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.
