I love this man, I really do. And if someone were to ask me why I love his music the way that I do, I wouldn't be able to answer. Technically speaking, what he does is pretty much straight up rock n'roll. Bowie was all about theatrics and orchestral epics. Iggy was raw and ravenous, hardly ever "pretty". Bolan…. When I listen, I see Marc leading a slew of people in and out of cosmopolitan streets with a flag or torch of some sort (wearing his Slider hat, of course). Band members behind him, marching and playing and high as kites. Civilians follow with the hand-claps that are always so outstanding an element in his songs.
I recently purchased The Slider import, containing a bonus disc of working versions of the album tracks. That Bolan spark has been ignited once again, so expect to see T.Rex at the top of my weekly artists when updated.
I musn't neglect the entire week, though. There was a time when it wasn't all about the T.Rextacy.
