Remember......This generation INVENTED this stuff .... Hands down, the coolest generation to ever walk the planet!
Agreed!
Facts.
It was a great time to be young. Took it for granted!
All this greatness. But, the truth is, that 70% of record sales are for compilations and boxed sets of classic rock. On VINYL.
Even Wall Street is betting against it by buying the publishing rights from Warner, etc.
Music should be a transcendent experience. It's not anymore.
They didnt invent it. They evolved it. The guitar riff is from the 40s and 50s blues players. It's blues. I been playing guitar since the early 70s and learned this stuff as it was released.
Huh. Hats off to Chuck Berry! Which generation was that again? Lol
T-Rex were originally called Tyrannosaurus Rex and released 4 albums under that name but Marc Bolan the singer decided to shorten it. As others have said they were pioneers of Glam Rock having came through the psychedelic late 60's. Marc died in a car crash in 1977 and the band ended then. They have so many great song's from Ride a White Swan, 20th Century Boy, Children Of The Revolution, Metal Guru, Jeepster, I Love To Boogie and many many more.
Oh and yes they were English.
Best band ever. Best songwrighter ever. Best inovate playing guitar (simpley but hot)
I listen T. Rex over 50 y. First
geat band in my guitarist life
As an 11 year old child, I cried on the day that Marc died. I worshipped him for 6 years straight and still say he was one of the best things to happen to music in the 70s
Just a groovy kind of groove. Those guys back in the day was having a cool time. Great reaction guys.
Glam - rock was pioneered by T REX . With Bowie , the Stooges and Lou Reed they ruled the scene for several years .
Stooges never ever ever were glam and Lou Reed velvet underground have never been called Glam. New York Dolls, Gary Glitter, Sweet, Bowie, TRex, Johnny Thunders, and others, but never Lou Reed or the Stooges
One of the best songs to rollerskate-dance to.

Marc Bolan was an early pioneer of "Glam Rock". RIP Marc. 1947-1977. Yes, they were from England.
Marc Bolan is the lead singer. He was the king of "Glam Rock" (Glamour). They were an English group. This song came out the year I graduated High School. It has been one of my fav's ever since. Marc died in a very suspicous car accident after a show. He was in the passenger seat. When the car was examined, they found that the lug nuts on the tires were loose on his side, but nowhere else on the car. So, his death has never been solved. Also, all of his money vanished never to be found. Another great song of theirs is 20th Century Boy. The band broke up after his death.
Hmmm, I know a fair amount about Marc Bolan and T-Rex, and this is the first I've ever heard about the conspiracy theory regarding the car accident in which his girlfriend, Gloria Jones was driving, being offered up as something substantial. And the subsequent "his death has never been solved", which certainly implies that he was murdered. This is all simply fiction. Additionally, his money didn't "vanish". Rather, it was in a series of unbreakable legal discretionary trusts that Bolan had been advised to establish before his death. The money was not able to be accessed by anyone for years, and when the first trusts were finally opened, the money went to Marc Bolan's wife, whom he had not had any relationship with for years, but unfortunately (for Gloria Jones and their son), had never finished legally divorcing in court. Gloria Jones and their son (Rolan) got nothing for many years, except what David Bowie (Marc Bolan's good friend) sent them, out of his own pocket. One of the Jersey-based trusts finally did pay Rolan a bit, which was good, but most of the money in the trusts is still there and access to those now-very-substantial funds (estimates range as high as USD $60 million) is still being argued over.
So, is the money hard to get at? Undoubtedly, yes - because of the structure of the trusts that Marc Bolan himself and his financial advisors adopted. Did it "vanish"? Decidedly not. All the involved parties know exactly where the money is, and they have known this since his death.
You are doing a disservice to his memory by offering up sensationalistic disinformation about the circumstances around his death.
It wasn’t after a show. It was after a night out during which both he and Gloria got very drunk. She was almost certainly over the limit and that’s really the only thing that is “suspicious” about it. She fled back home to the US before she had to appear in court and so never faced trial.
I came across his car crash site one day walking in putney. It was pretty obvious what happened .... it was the old went off the road , over corrected, and shot off to the other side of the road and hit a tree scenario.
@@biff9999 If you start with this is the first time I hear of this, I already don't believe you
@@TheSeNaBi Please read what I wrote - again. Of course, this is not the first time I've seen this conspiracy theory mentioned. What I wrote is that it's the first time I've seen it "being offered up as something substantial". That is, something to be taken seriously.
There is simply nothing solid to suggest that the accident was anything but an accident.
Marc Bolan pioneer of the "glam rock" era..."Mambo Sun" is a sexy song, 20th Century Boy, Children of the Revolution
One of those songs you just can't stand still on. ❤
Growing up in the 70s with this in our Record collections we were truly lucky to have them in our history, this style T-Rex, Bowie,The Sweet,Queen, gave us the ability, to be free to experience life and to express ourselves
Oh my gosh man this song is awesome and still good today
T Rex were the original glam rock band from the UK, very successful and popular over here. Marc Bolan was a prolific writer of songs and poetry, he also wrote a number of books. This is their single release from the album Electric Warrior which hit no1 for a considerable time. I still have my well worn original record. His influence cannot be understated with the likes of David Bowie, Elton John, The Sweet and Queen who admired his glam style. He made a rock film with Elton John and Ringo Starr from the Beatles. His death in a car crash at 30yo ended the group, l remember seeing the picture of the tangled wreckage of his Mini car that hit a tree in the newspapers, it shocked everybody.
The original Glam Rock was T-Rex, Alice Cooper, David Bowie, Mott the Hoople, Roxy Music, and Lou Reed.
Garry Glitter. Glam rock also known a glitter rock. But there are a lot of good bands in the seventies. Suzy Quatro , Mud, the Sweet, Roxy Music, The Slade, The Rubettes..
This is my jam! Marc Bolan, the lead singer was revolutionay in glam rock and was and still is an influence to so many artists! Super talented! So sad he died in a car crash with his girlfriend Gloria Jones, a singer herself, who was driving(she lived)whom he left his wife for and ended up having a son with named, get this... Rolan Bolan! I guess he's a musician too, from what I've read. Marc is legendary ♥️
Gloria Jones first recorded "Tainted Love" in 1964, which was a monster hit for Soft Cell in 1981.
This whole album called “Electric Warrior” is 🔥
Yes!!!!
Still on my playlist!
They sre THE SHIT !
Marc Bolan the singer songwriter was born in East London, was monster here, really mega, Marc died in a car crash in 77, was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame last year, this on RUclips 🌟
Living out in West London I often drive along the road where Marc's Mini came to grief (its not a well lit road and is quite uneven too, easy to lose control if not paying attention or exceeding even slightly a safe speed for the road.
When Mark Feld started out in the 1960s, he was told that a short guy with a nasal voice like his would never make it in the music business, so he became Marc Bolan, and as others have said he named his group (which was originally a duo) Tyrannosaurus Rex, because he wanted "to create the biggest monster ever". When they became T.Rex as a four piece and started doing Marc's unique form of 'electric boogie', for about a year they became the biggest band in the UK since The Beatles, and a wave of 'T.Rexstasy' over took the country, at least among the young teenage girls. Marc was heavily influenced by Elvis, Eddie Cochran and Chuck Berry (as this song fades out, you can hear him singing 'Meanwhile, I'm still thinking', a line from a Chuck Berry song). But he influenced many himself - he's credited with being the first of the first wave of 'glam rock' artists in the UK. And compare the way Prince moved and dressed, to Marc - two short guys with tons of style and class, and the moves. He wrote so many catchy pop/rock classic riffs and songs. A unique talent.
Sweet ,t Rex, David Bowie the very beginning of Glam Rock! Love it
T. Rex is all about the groove in every song that they do. Check out Jeepster, 20th Century Boy or The Slider.
Great song from 1972. Remade in 1985 by Power Station (Robert Palmers band).
Love this! Haven't heard this in years, definitely brings back great memories. 💛
T Rex - just some good singles -- Jeepster, Hot Love, Telegram Sam, Metal Guru, Children of the Revolution, Solid Gold Easy Action, I Love To Boogie.
💕💕💕
So happy you've discovered the genius of Marc Bolan (RIP) and T Rex! They really are the grandfathers of glam rock/pop. Please give 20th Century Boy a listen - it's awesome!
You guys are having too much fun groovin to these 60's and 70's hits...you look so young...😅♥️♥️♥️
Absolutely, that song was awesome in the 70's. They were ahead of their time. Still sounds great today. Thank you, you know good music.
I was so blessed to have grown up with this kind of music in my life! So blessed!

Marc Bolan was killed in a car crash in 1977, the car was driven by his girlfriend Gloria Jones. Check out tainted love by her from 1964. Also react to ride a white swan by T-Rex. and yes they were from the UK.
You are correct.....if I'm non mistaken...the young PC who intended the tragic scene...was dave Dee...from the band of the same name....think I'm right..
Great song, makes you just dance and feel good , loved this song 70s was about fun and feeling good , loved the clothes and the just feeling free I was a kid and so thankful this is music I grew up with best music ever with so many groups and sounds
I saw these guys late 60s in Detroit. Man o Man the groups I got to see! Every weekend a new one. Memories can't be taken away from me of those days.
Like seeing you guys happy!! ...dirty sweet... Lol!!
Lol thank you so much Walt😀
Love what you all doing. Great request pick!!!
Marc Bolan was an original superstar and T-rex were a total supergroup in the ‘70s!
I was 11 when I fell in love with t.rex.
ANOTHER one of the bands that will always be underrated!!!
T-Rex had some of the coolest songs ever made!!!
You two young people are like this song ,GOLD 👍🏾👍🏾💎💎💎💎💎💎🇬🇧
This brings such happy memories back to me. I was born in 1962. I'm so lucky to have grown up in the 70's!!
You need to go listen to The Jackson 5 & here Micheal sing "Who's Loving You". Its amazing. Watch the video if you can. He's so little & dressed like he's 25. Purple hat.
Same age, was a great time to be 10 years old and hearing all those glam rock songs in the charts!
Love it! TRex was my boyhood group, Late 60s-mid 70s.
Yea they are from England ......You have to hear JEEPSTER ,it is a grove tune also.
Yeah! T.Rex; Slade; Sweet and 10 cc. Showing my age but I miss all of these guys. Suzie Quatro was the best US import
Check out T-Rex - 20th Century Boy....all the Best early rock came from the UK....it was the British Invasion after the Beatles came to the US, then all the other bands came over to play and became known!
He didn't half Get It On, that's what turned me onto Marc Bolan and his music his stage routine strutting his stuff and groovin and moovin and really diggin what he was doing. I was only 14 but Marc turned me into a guitarist. As soon as I left boarding school I couldn't wait to buy my first guitar after starting work.
Such a unique performer Marc Nolan. Loving you digging his vibe. Please take a look at Hot Love, that's another great T Rex tune.
Another of my FAVORITE songs! Such good memories. Thanks for playing it guys!
When Marc Bolan & T Rex came out my brother had numerous songs of theirs. Don't know if he still has any? Just amazing guy Marc Bolan, sad he passed away so young!! xx
When I was a kid my pastor said we would burn in Hell if we listened to this music. So now I don't go to church anymore, and I listen to this music, alot.
The 80’s version of this song was done by a band called Robert Palmer and members of Duran Duran. Get it on 80’s version is cute 🥰
Power Station!
Though I am a huge fan of T.Rex, the Power Station's version is great.
Really cool tune. Always loved it!!
Great days fabulous music mark boian t rex I wore bell.bottom platform shoes or boots they were good days brought back a lot of beautiful memories all that night clubbing Mark was killed in a car crash he wasn't very old gone to soon at least he left us his music I really enjoyed that great reaction
Try Children Of The Revolution, 20th Century Boy, Metal Guru... so many great records, T Rex Rule!
Another one of my all time favorites...So good!...Marc Bolan was a pioneer....died too young....from Enland...that music gets under you and lifts you to the dance floor. You guys are steady playing all the music I love from that time..Thanks so much!!!
Keep it keeping on..the move the groove.
There is a video of this song that includes a piano player. A guy named Reggie Dwight. He grew up to become Elton John. Marc Bolan and Elton were great friends
Im so glad my parents brought me up with this kind of music
Reminds me of Junior HS days but it was a cool sound. We were spoiled with the greatest music.
I love this band ❤❤
This Magic moment ,great song. Jay and the Americians.
Really like this reaction! Bolans T.Rex greatest hit from 1971 is still making an impact! Bolan wrote this song influenced by Chuck Berrys guitar riffs.
Get it on is also on the soundtrack of Top Gun Maverick
Best rock n roll song ever! As far as I'm concerned this could be the ONLY rock song and I'd be satisfied! 🤩You guys were feelin it for sure!! LOL 💕Love your reaction-- pure dirty & sweet FUN😁
Marc Bolan was a soft spoken and intelligent guy- and unleashed his wild thing in his music and performances. Died so young 30's car crash....huge loss in my life.....💔
For a thick period in the early 1970s, Marc Bolan and T Rex were the biggest band in England. Even David Bowie later admitted his flight to fame was fuelled by a desire to beat his old East London sparring partner (Bowie later appeared on Bolan's final TV show in 1977 - just before the latter's untimely death in a car accident).
When it's all said and done, it's the 70s music that added to what the 50s and 60s had done, that rocks out! Please react to Sugarloaf the group, Green-eyed Lady the song. Great reaction to T Rex. Peace.
Love T.REX!!!! Great reaction.
The lead singer Marc Boland died in a car crash in ‘77 and yes they’re from England
A pretty good mimed performance to the record, Marc playing a strat instead of his more normal Les Paul.
"But I drunk myself blind
To the sound of old T-Rex
To the sound of old T-Rex
Oh, and Who's Next?" P. Townsend
BTW, this song was remade by Power Station in the mid-80s and the remake is a banger!
Marc Bolan was a hugely important pioneering songwriter/performer in the 70s. We can thank T-Rex for bringing in the big hair, platform shoes and black eyeliner and we can thank Marc for writing an endless series of groove-based pop hooks. They inspired groups like The Sweet, Queen and Roxy Music. Marc and David Bowie were at the vanguard of what became known as Glam Rock. Sadly, Marc died in a car crash at the end of 70s and most of the Rock world died along with him. Check out these songs::
20th Century Boy
Telegram Sam
Children of the Revolution
Dandy in the Underworld
Groovy! "You're windy and wild, oh yeah \ Well you're built like a car \ You've got a hubcap diamond star halo" -- When I heard this song as a teenager I always thought he was comparing his girl to a Chrysler, perhaps because back in the 70's the Chrysler logo was a star inside a pentagon of the sort you might find stamped onto a hubcap.
Marc Bolan was obsessed with cars, especially big US ones, and especially Cadillacs and Ford Mustangs! They pop up in a fair number of his songs. But, he couldn't drive!
That’s my young days best ever Rock on!
Thank you so much guys for reacting to T-Rex... what a brilliant band and Marc Bolan was a complete superstar...his lyrics were like poems .His first band was a duo in the late 60's called Tyrannosaurus Rex... He then changed the band to a four piece and shortened the name. I was so lucky to see the band in 1971 on the Electric Warrior tour in Liverpool UK. Absolutely brilliant.
I really enjoy your reactions guys. Looking forward to your next reaction. Peace from Liverpool UK 👍✌️🤘☮️
The song is called Get It On. It is track 2 on side 2 of their album Electric Warrior released in 1971, I know I bought it when it was released. It's only in America that it is called Bang A Gong.
You folks would love his vibe/swagger on "Mambo Sun" and "20th Century Boy"!👍
Please react to Hot Love by T-Rex. My favourite song of theirs- and they have many great songs. PS. You'll love Hot Love
Singing in the background "get it on, bang a gong, get it on" in the high voices are Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan, formerly of The Turtles.
It's the saxophone for me on this track, love it.
Yeah, the sax is great, but I'm a bass girl, I love the bass groove on here!
@@ShannyShan20 Yeah that bass is really something! This is one of those songs that'll just get ya moving
@@johronok4067 Absolutely 💯👏 I Love it!
T REX my favourite band to listen too. Having them playing all around my house.
Lot of single hits, hot love, solid gold easy action, metal guru, jeepster, also flip sides groovy too ✌️😎🏁
Loved T-Rex - they were part of my youth and I still love them now.
In 1960, a twelve-year-old Marc Bolan (then called Mark Feld) is said to have met Eddie Cochran in London and was allowed to carry Eddie’s Gretsch guitar to a waiting limousine. Marc would later introduce Cochran songs into his stage performances. Unfortunately, just like Eddie Cochran who died April 17,1960 in a UK automobile accident on the way to Heathrow Airport at age 21, Marc would die in a London, UK auto accident on Sept 16, 1977, just two weeks before his 30th birthday. Eddie in the late-1950's recorded rock and roll classics like Twenty Flight Rock, Summertime Blues, Jeanie, Jeanie, Jeanie, Something Else, C'mon Everybody, and Three Steps to Heaven (which ironically, he recorded in Jan 1960 with Buddy Holly's backing band The Crickets just before heading to the UK for his final tour) which was his one and only #1 song in the UK.
Keep a little Marc in your heart!💖
God bless you both , for you are such a happy sweet couple

I’m from 1971! Great vintage! Have I ever seen your real hair Meee-eeellllll? ? ❤️🇨🇦🤓
So glad you enjoyed this🇬🇧👍
In the 80's the Super Group The Power Station did a great job with this song!
Haha, welcome to my teenage years. We adored Marc and my best friend had a life size poster of him that she kissed every day! Good time to be young.
