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.

NUMBER 20 - JEEPSTER V8E46yVoYJk This is the infamous (To t rex fans) performance of jeepster on Dirk Kirshners rock concert in november 1974. By then, marc was a washed up star. Hes most recent single, Zip Gun Boogie had only made no.41, whilst just one year ago, he was still filing the air waves and dominating charts with songs like 20th Centry Boy (No.3 in march 1973) and The Groover (No.4 in mid 1973). Marc had put on weight, sacked hes drummer and included Gloria Jones in his band (Shed had a massive hit with her song, "Tainted Love" in 1964) This was marcs final performance in america.

i just have a weird taste in music for a 14 year old, i first liked adam ant when i was in yr 4. i knew evry single chart posistion and evry thing...etc..

ive only recently heard it, i think its really good, although it is a blatent atempt to cash in the glam rock scene of 1972, folowing bowie and mud, and the sweet. although bolan invented it and is the best person ever in my eyes and i know evrything ever about him.... but i really like the performance of schools out, it was a highlight of glam rock

why dyu say that?? anyway, i dont have any brothers???

i fink he deserved to die, what an idiot! thats well disgusting though

prince is performing at half time

thats ages away?? why anounce the bands now?

when is it????

you should put up hes 1972 totp performance of "schools out". the one where he has that medieval sword

they used him in another film aswell, 3 years after bela died!

me too!

that was really uncalled for

seed of chucky was awfull, shame as no.4 was the best ever.

therewas a hitler film that had Bill Murry as hitler. but he was speaking english and he had blond hair???!!!! also roger moore was his henchmen, but he wernt even germen
