#188 T. Rex, 'Electric Warrior' (1971)

T. Rex’s sixth record saw a major shift in their sound from folk rock to a flamboyant new and more poppier sound, which would come to be known as Glam Rock. The genre is said to have been born when the band appeared on Top Of The Pops 5 months before the release of the record. Marc Bolan was adorned in glitter and satin. This pre-dated his close friend, David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust character by a few months, a project that would help pioneer Glam Rock.
