T. Rex’s The Slider is one of the defining albums of British glam rock, built around Marc Bolan’s unmistakable vocals, economical guitar riffs and Tony Visconti’s rich production. Originally released in 1972, the album followed the enormous success of Electric Warrior and continued Bolan’s remarkable run of concise, swaggering rock songs. Highlights include “Metal Guru,” “Telegram Sam,” “Ballrooms of Mars” and “The Slider.”
