T-Rex - The Slider

Label: Reprise
Genre: Glam Rock
Year: 1972
Recommended by: Ralph Brendler

Glam Rock either ages really well, or spoils quickly on a modern listen. T-Rex's "The Slider" ages very, very well. It very reminiscent of the current folk rock revival and I imagine it's because both are reaching back to the original origins of 50's rock for it's rhythms.

Metal Guru is probably my favorite track on the album and it sets the tone for the rest of the record in an incredible way. It was also the first single which while it had modest popularity in the states only had a real impact in the UK. 

It was enjoyable listen from beginning to end.
