Five years have flown by in a flash. Five years since we lost one of the greatest musical visionaries in the history of rock 'n' roll – the brilliant mind of David Bowie. Fifty years ago this November, the man put out his third studio…

" It's all in one! A finished package! Essential and one of a kind, carved out of the unique Angel recipe. Yes. It's possible. Even in 2019. Another unexpected win at this year's "gathering of rock'n'roll dinosaurs."

With T. Rex's thoroughly excellent final effort “Dandy in the Underworld,” the life of one of the biggest rock icons of the seventies was cut far too short.

"Futuristic Dragon" was a welcome sign that Bolan's T. Rex had managed to pull themselves out of a slump and storm back onto the glam rock scene with one of their best and most eclectic efforts.

With the 'American'-sounding (by T. Rex standards) and below-par "Bolan's Zip Gun", it became clear that Bolan's crew had slid into an all-too-obvious creative crisis.

By the time »Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow« came out, it was clear that Bolan's 'creative muse' had started to desert him and that much rougher times were ahead for T. Rex. The album wasn't without the odd great moment where…

"Tanx" was the last classic T. Rex album, the one where Bolan hit his artistic and commercial peak. The influence of soul and funk gave their traditional glam rock sound a fresh coat of paint.

»The Slider« cemented the status of Marc Bolan and T. Rex as the leading glam rock heroes and pioneers, driving the youth of the day wild with their glamorous glaze over rock 'n' roll, pop rock and boogie.

With the masterpiece "Electric Warrior," the first glam rock album in music history and one that sparked a genuine revolution, Marc Bolan and his T. Rex finally struck gold.

With »T. Rex«, one of the more important achievements of his prematurely ended musical career, Bolan was reborn, going from a reclusive psychedelic dreamer to a showman of a glam rock guru. As he gradually molted into an electric guitarist,…

The Roxy Music debut built a strange and wildly innovative bridge between progressive rock and glam rock, and along with Sinfield's superb production and Ferry's half-metaphysical, half-lovesick lyrics, that was one of the key ingredients…

"Pin Ups" is one of the few Bowie albums you can't call a rock classic. It's nothing but covers of his favorite artists from his teenage years, and it's mostly interesting for anyone who wants to know who shaped his musical development.
