20th Century Boy- The Ultimate Collection

Get Yer Boots On: The Best of Slade In the early 1970s, glam rock band Slade dominated the British charts with 17 Top 20 hits, including six at #1. While their star didn't soar as high in the States, the band wasn't completely overlooked. Covers of "Cum On Feel The Noize" and "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" by '80s rock...	The Best of Sweet They were glam, they were hams, and they made great singles. From "Little Willy" on, they forged a pop sound, always with a sly wink at the audience, never taking themselves too seriously. But when you had songs like "Ballroom Blitz," "Blockbuster," and "Fox on the Run," who real...	Electric Warrior Electric Warrior, T. Rex's best album, distills elements of Marc Bolan's earlier acoustic period with a dynamic rock rhythm section--drummer Bill Legend and bassist Steve Currie--and lush arrangements by producer Tony Visconti. Featuring the classics "Bang a Gong (Get It On)," "J...	Kinks (The Ultimate Collection) Arguably the finest and most expansive Kinks collection on the market! The first disc of this double-disc begins with their third single and first No. 1, the insistent 'You Really Got Me', then races through the glory years with the absurdly infectious likes of 'Sunny Afternoon',...	T. Rex: Born To Boogie Marc Bolan had the looks, style, and bearing of rock star, and T. Rex: Born To Boogie offers proof positive that he was just that. But comparing yourself to the Beatles doesn't make it so, even if you get Ringo Starr to produce, direct, and appear in your movie. In terms of the ...
Accelerate In the decade since the departure of drummer Bill Berry, R.E.M. could seem at times schizophrenic. Their albums of the era, which veered from the experimentalism of Up and reaffirmation of Reveal to 2004's more diffuse, reflective Around the Sun, often stood in stark contrast to ...	The Slider This edition has been digitally re-mastered from the original analog master tapes. Included are non-album singles following the original record's order. There's also a newly produced bonus CD with a "work-in-progress version" of the album. These songs are rare versions (previousl...	In Rainbows Pink Bowl 6 1/8"	The Very Best of Deep Purple The only newly remastered single-disc compilation featuring all of the hits during the band's heyday. Includes 15 full-length singles, live cuts, and album tracks from 26 albums released between 1968-1984!	Best of Bowie Though one of rock's most influential figures, David Bowie's accomplishments are pocked by some distinct ironies. His willful efforts at being a musical and visual chameleon spurred triumphs in genres as diverse as folk, glam, new wave, and electronica. Given the dizzying range a...

A LOT of fun
The stuff that is great is REALLY great... and some of the songs sound nearly quaint. Bolan had a great idea, which is even mentioned in this disc's liners: He updated Chuck Berry riffs! In my words, he added some spacey, sometimes androgynous lyrics to Chuck's riffs, added some guttural, then-sexy utterances, terrific Flo & Eddie backing vocals, and helped create glam! Cool stuff that puts a smile on my face. Recently, I did read an old CREEM article, in which Bolan says that Bowie was just trying to be Bolan; I'm happy that he's not around to try and defend that statement now.

T-Rex is T-riffic
Super cool music from a classic British Shaman. Don't be fooled by the "Glam Rock" stamp placed on it. You can't go wrong with Gibson guitars and a Marshall Amp.

Amazing
I didn't have much contact with T. REX work but as soon as I got this CD I realised how many time I spent without listening to it. Simply amazing, in everyway. I couldn't stop listening to it at least for a whole week. "By the light of a Magical Moon" and "Cosmic Dancer" were magical surprises. I recommend to everyone that enjoy a really good music, specially people here in Brazil where T.REX are not so diffused, what a shame.

The Best Bolan Collection To Date
I've heard it said that the only other artist to have more official posthumous releases than Marc Bolan is Jimi Hendrix. Since Marc's death in 1977, there have been numerous greatest hits collections, outtake collections, live concerts, and album re-releases. And the quality of these releases has been as varied as the albums themselves due to sound quality and song selection. Almost all of the prior hits collections were limited to either 1967-1971 or 1972-1977. You got one or the other. Finally, we have a collection that takes the best from all eras: Marc's hippy-acoustic Tyrannosaurus Rex days through the mega-hit pop machine, T. Rex. It appears someone finally resolved all the legal matters that prevented a full greatest hits release in the past, giving listeners a complete picture of the man and his music. People looking for Bolan's signature songs will fine them here: "Ride A White Swan," "Hot Love," "Get It On (Bang A Gong)," "Children Of The Revolution," "20th Century Boy," and "I Love To Boogie." Being an avid Bolan fan and collector, there's never going to be the perfect representation of T. Rex on disc. To me, almost ALL of Marc's music was phenomenal. The exception would be a few tracks off of "Bolan's Zip Gun." But this album manages to come the closest I've seen to give a complete picture, picking the hits and giving the listener the T. Rex experience.
