t.rex - the slider

The Slider, released in 1972, is one of T. Rex's most iconic albums, capturing the essence of the glam rock movement with Marc Bolan at its helm. With catchy hooks, electric guitar riffs, and Bolan’s distinctive voice, the album blends rock, pop, and folk influences to create a sound that is both flamboyant and infectious.

Tracks like “Metal Guru,” “Telegram Sam,” and “Buick MacKane” highlight Bolan's whimsical lyricism and the band’s tight instrumentation. The Slider remains a landmark in glam rock, a genre defined by bold fashion, catchy rhythms, and a sense of youthful rebellion.
