its trying to be but its failing miserably

duke spirit supported el presidente on their first tour back in jan 2005! duke spirit were quite good, i remember el presidentes first gig. at leeds cockpit 17th jan, the microphone wernt working probably for the person from duke spirit!!

Its a poor "Doctor Who Rival" and is not going to last. poor cgi and an overall script that leaves alot to be disired. I would gie it 2/10 and thats being kind. I really cant see this lasting, the almighty Doctor Who will always better it.

yeah, its good but have you heard bolans zip gun???? its much much better

no. nore is mine,some people are just petty cos mines 7.9 millimeters too long...

I so hate people who only like the classics and dont venture out and try others. Young Americans was the best akbum he ever did, and beats any thing by him. the abum even featured luther vandros. brilliant record.

NUMBER 1 - ZIP GUN BOOGIE aLI7olo1rZo T.Rex's least succesfull single. No.42 in november 1974. At the height of the Downfall period of marcs career. He even claimed to Newspapers "T.Rex Was Dead, It no Longer Exists"!! He also threatened to embark on a solo career to Totp magazine. The following album "Bolans Zip Gun" didnt even carry the T.Rex name. It seemed marc had faling, and was now a washed up superstar. Hed also now relocated to America, living in hollywood with Gloria Jones, who was now part of T.Rex as Backing Vocals/Clavinet. Hope evryone takes the time to watch all these. it took me hours to do...

NUMBER 2 - I LOVE TO BOOGIE NOc6ENMiPYI Marcs biggest later day hit. Although it only reached number 13 in the summer of 1976, it became a classic T rex song. And it showed that marc was still around. Hed lost the weight and cut hes hair short, and looked healthier than ever. Thus was another Totp performance, and was actually live! Although for some reason the tempo was completely changed.... And nw onto No.1.......

NUMBER 3 - GET IT ON paCEEItGxgs What can be said about this song?? Its was always marcs fav t rex song, ening nearly every concert he ever played. This is from Totp 1971, on christmas day. Featuring Elton John miming on piano for some reason??!!

NUMBER 4 -- DREAMY LADY GqtooqM8RhM So, Late 1974, marcs fame was copletly gone. Hed put weight on and moved to america in what he called Hes Tax Exile. Hes singles flopped and he was now known as "The Porky Pixie" and "The Glittering Chipolata". But mid 1975, hes new song "New York City" had gone in at No.15 in england. This Rekindled marcs passion for making music. So he decided to really go for it. Although he had a lot of work ahead of him. Step one: he moved back to england, Step Two: regualer Tv Peformances. In September 195 he struck a deal with Mike Mansfield, in which Marc would perform regually on Mikes new programme "Supersonic". This was hes first performance on Supersonic. A new look for bolan, in heavy make up. hed also lost some of the weight. Rehursles for this performance were cancelled though, dyu to something that would change hes life. The birth of hes son Rolan. all the recent publicity proppeled this into the charts, although not as high marc wanted, it still reached No.30

NUMBER 5 - TOKEN OF MY LOVE ingvsaVhtcg This is another track from Don Kirshners Rock Concert. It showed a now overweight, sluggish tired bolan. For some reason theyed slowed the song down to a minimal pace, but for some reason i like it!

NUMBER 6 - BUICK MACANE y258n_Ma59Y Marcs version of Heavy Metal! From music laden 1973, it showed a possible new direction for T.Rex, but tit never really took off. Tooken from 1972's Silder album, its much more pupmed up here with heavy rousing guitars and heavier druming.

NUMBER 7 - RIDE A WHITE SWAN y9rFoPyqFoA The beggining of T.Rexstasy in England. Marcs first top 10, this went to number two. Also the first single undr the name "T.Rex" This is from hes 1977 Programme "Marc", featuring hes new smaller band.

NUMBER 8 - THE GROOVER bAsDSFLeoJE This the first T.Rex song to feature the backing vocals of Gloria jones. Also marcs final top ten

NUMBER 9 - TEENAGE DREAM PBr42HkPSuc Marcs Swan song of glam. After this, he walked off stage, got in his limo, slammed the door shut and entered hes Tax Exile in america. Hed also put on weight, look at his stomarch, and that skin tight silky material isnt doing him any favours.....

NUMBER 10 - TELEGRAM SAM YsQfhgxAkEs So, Late 1974, marcs fame was copletly gone. Hed put weight on and moved to america in what he called Hes Tax Exile. Hes singles flopped and he was now known as "The Porky Pixie" and "The Glittering Chipolata". But mid 1975, hes new song "New York City" had gone in at No.15 in england. This Rekindled marcs passion for making music. So he decided to really go for it. Although he had a lot of work ahead of him. Step one: he moved back to england, Step Two: regualer Tv Peformances. In September 195 he struck a deal with Mike Mansfield, in which Marc would perform regually on Mikes new programme "Supersonic". (More of that story coming soon) This was just one of hes many performances on Supersonic. That week he Chose to Perform hes new single "London Boys" which proceeded the "Futuristic Dragon" album, and he also did This Classic T.Rex single. Telegram Sam.

NUMBER 11 - CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION 8xJ_agcMy5c This was taken from Marc, Ringo starrs, and Elton johns film, Born To Boogie. The film had no storyline, but did feature varios live songs and strange scenes featuring Cat Weazle. Although it was directed by ringo so what do you expect??? Children... Was the first PROPER T.Rex single not to go to no.1. But it did become their biggest hit, and their most famous song.

NUMBER 12 - LIFES A GAS ja05dgy0inY Performed on The Cilla Black Show. A duet of one of the classic songs from "Electric Warrior", hes brek through album. Marc was on the show that day to promote Hes new album "Tanx". Theres not really much to say about this one, but the performance is very touching.

NUMBER 13 - LASER LOVE 4722_aOEluk The follow up to "I love To Boogie", this only reached No.42. But thats not whats important about it. This Marked a turn in Many things. Firstly, Gloria had now left the band, Resulting in Second Guitarist Miller Anderson on backing vocals. Secondly, it featured a new look for Marc. Almost peceeding the new romantic fashion by 5 years, Hes hair was the shortest it had been in 9 years aswell. Promoted as "A New Age Of T.Rex" it certainly did have a diffeent feel about it.

NUMBER 14 - HOT LOVE 1W1FfkrSEio Hot love was the start of glam rock. It all started on Top Of The Pops in feb 1971. Just minuites before hes performance, June, His wife, added some glitter beneath his eyes, and his performance was legendary. An overnight succes, the next day the record proppelled up into the No.1 slot.

NUMBER 15 - SOLID GOLD EASY ACTION Dprh_MT9CyA In the final few months months of 1972, marc had been recieving a cirtain amount of critiscm from the Music magazines and some fans. They said marcs songs were becoming "Samey" and "Repetative". So marc lashed back with this. Whilst showing slight change, it really wasnt that much different. If Marc was to really sustain hes fame, hed need a complete new image..... Cue "2oth Century Boy".....

NUMBER 16 - 20th CENTURY BOY OHbP_GWiI7c This is the premiere of what was to become one of T.Rex's most famous and populer songs. Performed on MusicLaden in Germany, With Marc now sporting a sun tan and shorter hair, it was the start of a decline in record sales. No longer could marc be garanteed the No.1 spot with each release, 20th Century boy made No.3 in the u.k. Whilst any other band would of been happy with this, marc was not.

NUMBER 17 - DANDY IN THE UNDERWORLD rqllYBAJt8 This is marcs final tv performance outside of his populer programme "Marc" which featured him playing 4 songs per show, and other bands including David Bowie, The Jam and Generation X also apearing. This was T.Rexs penultimate single, and didnt go top 40. But this is not to say marc hadnt acheived some fandom back. Hes album of the same name went In at No.26, and hed recently had hes own chat show, interviewing such people as Telly Savalis, Angie Bowie, Stan lee and others.....

NUMBER 18 - Metal Guru aeZ0GgYNICY This is it. The height of glam rock. The very peak of marcs success. Another "Straight To No.1" hit single. Thus showed just how populer marc really was. Reportedly selling 100,000 records a day, he was at a comercial peak during the summer of 1972. It proceeded hes biggest selling album, The Slider and hes hit film "Born To Boogie". The only way from here was down....

NUMBER 19 - To Know you is to love you w-feE5_lKLA This is marcs only performance of this underated gem. Released in feb 1977, under the name Marc bolan and Gloria jones, it didnt even chart. Although his full scale come back was not yet underway (Ill talk about that on other songs). This was performed on supersonic, which hed been making regualer apearences on since 1975.
