    Hey, I’m a random stranger who happened to stumble onto your blog, but I just wanted to say that T. Rex is pretty fantastic. :D I think that Tanx is my favourite album of theirs. I don’t know much about Marc Bolan’s early days as a folk rocker though, so I’ll have to investigate!

    Hi Dara – Tanx is awesome! Highway Knees and Electric Slim in particular are such good songs! I’d have to say Electric Warrior or Slider are my favorite albums, however. Too classic! Your unconventional choice tells me you’re a real fan. You really ought to check out some more of the early Tyrannosaurus stuff! :D /T.Rex nerding out

    Maxene – The 60′s called. They said they’re very offended, but don’t worry, I told them you were just stating an honest opinion. :D
