Reviews about Marc Bolan and T. Rex songs
Gone too soon... | Reviewer: Resa
    ------ About the song 20th Century Boy performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex

From the first cords of the amazing guitar work on this song, to the vocals of Marc Bolan, 20th Century Boy is by far a great piece of work. It makes you want to move your body, and think about the lyrics after the 10th time you've played it. This song makes you want to be in the carefree days of your youth. To get up and dance around the room. To remember... Marc was such a poetic rock god. From his acoustic ballads to his glam rock stage presence he injected his personal style into many a mind. I can say I was one who was fortunate enough to see him on a U.S.tour in 1972. He was taken from us much too soon...In Peace Friends, Resa

discovered Treasure | Reviewer: Tony Hiscox
    ------ About the song Lock Into Your Love performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex

"Lock into your Love" is one of those Bolan Tracks that never made it onto any release During Marcs Life, like so much the discovery is a Gem - the only version can be found on T.rex Unchained Vol. 5 Unreleased Recordings dated 1974 - drums and symbols start the track quickly followed by a deep Base Line the groove is set but the song unfolds as Marc delivers a song of passionate love Poetry and Vocal surprises are around every corner as the rock Groover, slices through your soul with music that truly delivers why stuff like this never made it onto an album is probably best explained by the fact that it was one of many tracks that may have benefited ultimately from more production but this nevertheless is a masterpiece that no Bolan fan would be without - it gets better with each new listen as you notice something else you missed the previous times through

Jason Wind | Reviewer: Bobby Zalryte
    ------ About the song Broken-hearted Blues performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex

It is ACTUALLY "Jason Wind, as a boy...". It makes more sense as the line is clearly referring to a person. Also typical of Bolan to use whimsical, mythical names in his songwriting i.e - Telegram Sam, Electric Slim, Buick Mackane, etc.

raw ramp | Reviewer: sarah
    ------ About the song Raw Ramp performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex

this is my favorite song by my favorite person of all time.
you can usually see how marc gets off throwing out as many pretty fantastical words as he can to create images or feelings, and as much as i love everything he has made, partially because of how much excess he puts in everything, and how flamboyant it is, it's refreshing to hear raw ramp which is so simple. it makes this song seem more sincere.
it's about the elevated feeling of being in love, or infatuated. and what makes it believable is that it's simple, or raw, like the title of the song.
he loves her mouth and her breasts and her attitude, all kind of shallow things, but when you're infatuated with someone you could rave on these things because to you they're mystical (baby your mouth is like a ghost)
as soon as the beat of this song begins, my mood is picked up by it.
also, it's sweet to hear bolan throw someone else up on a pedestal for a chance, whoever she may be. it usually seems he's the one up there. infatuation is very humbling.


urgent and dreamy | Reviewer: Gaz
    ------ About the song The Woodland Bop performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex

The first two lines of this song are about it's title. The rest of the song goes off on a tangent, with Bolan singing about an unamed woman, who streaks across the skies in the halloweed morning. Bolan urges us to see this, and to see her, "Streaking across the skies." The first two lines are lines that anyone could have written. The rest of the lyrics are like a poem, they stand apart, and the music that accompanies them is urgent and dreamy at the same time.

Urban and Modern | Reviewer: Gaz
    ------ About the song The Street and Babe Shadow performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex

This track appeared on tanx, t.rex's album of 1973. The song is a hypnotic one, with a mid-tempo beat, and it has a sad, yearning, almost haunting feel to it, yet it is strong and has a driving beat. There is a good saxophone solo by an unknown (to me) player. This song is lyrically typical of Bolan's peak popularity period, in that it's urban and modern, and full of unlikely sounding characters, doing unlikely things, ie Tiger Tim the tightrope walker/Tried to steal the drag queen's daughter. Babe Shadow never appears, and the song is not, as far as I can see, about, THE street, but the song is full of interesting imagery, like rats and people building a ship and flying to venus. The best lines, for me, come towards the end of the song with, Pain is meat and meat is people/
Your head's a house, your soul's a steeple. Here, Bolan seems to be trying to tell us something profound, like, Pain is what we need to survive, and we get pain from people. Your head's a house, your soul's a steeple, ie your soul is above your head. Yes, life is a gas, but it's SUCH a scene.

Incredible/Invincible | Reviewer: Jigsaw
    ------ About the song Ride A White Swan performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex

From the first guitar licks... this rocker shocks, thrills and astonishes as all good rockers do. It screams like a Swan cavorting through the Mystic English countryside. I dare anyone to find a comparable 11-12 second guitar solo that hollers like this one. Absolutely incredible.
I first hear this jewel while still in High School. Of course all of my classmates thought I was totally "Out There" and I was! RIDE IT ON OUT... WOW - So fine to finally hear it again.

spaceball ricochet | Reviewer: mike
    ------ About the song Spaceball Ricochet performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex

A typically amazing offering from T.Rex. All the individual performances are tight, yet it's a lushly multi-layered, multi-textured sound. Not only the instrumental performances, but also the vocal performances and arrangements are fantastic---utterly unearthly sounding.

I'm pleased to hear that a thirteen year-old like georgie listens to T.Rex. I was fourteen when I first listened to T.Rex, georgie---33 years ago. Got The Slider on 8-track for a birthday gift. I still put it on my top ten list, and Bolan's on my top five list of rock artists.
