The Greatest Music
The Slider
by T. Rex
The 1258th greatest album of all time
The Slider (1972) is a glam rock album by T. Rex that consolidates Marc Bolan's move from folk-psychedelia to concise electric rock. It pairs short, hook-driven songs with more textured arrangements, featuring Bolan's distinctive vocals, catchy guitar riffs, and layered production that blends acoustic and electric elements. The record is often viewed as a defining example of early 1970s British glam rock with a raw, proto-punk undercurrent in its direct rhythms and lyrical delivery.
