T. Rex
Electric Warrior
the 'electric warrior' album (1971) effectively buried the psychedelic folk rock of tyrannosaurus rex and immortalized the trashy hard rock of t rex. one successful single ('ride a white swan') and eponymous album had already introduced the t. rex name in 1970, and the single 'hot love' first boasted the expanded band line-up of bolan, mickey finn, steve currie and bill legend. but 'electric warrior' (preceded by its first single, 'bang a gong (get it on)') crystallized the sleazy bubblegum and rock-and-roll spirit of bolan's band, capturing what was simultaneously a ferocious attack on and celebration of the three-minute pop single.
