what are you listening to at the moment?

I don't believe that T.Rex has been mentioned on here before but, of course, I may well be wrong.

Not really my cup of tea but I do rather like Get it On :

Despite not being taken entirely seriously and being seen more as a Glam Rock pop group Marc Bolan was I think well respected by contemporary musicians.
Indeed Rick Wakeman played Piano and Ian McDonald (ex King Crimson) played sax on Get it On.

I saw them once, at Bath Pavillions around 52 years ago.

Probably the only T. Rex song I liked after Tyrannosaurus Rex. He always was shocking at miming, though

[Moonglum]

T Rex was not that bad (at the time) and had a string of hits. As Mick said the miming by Bolan is awful so I tried to find a live version and wished I hadn't bothered...

I did hear that Rick Davies (keyboards) of Supertramp had died (06/09). So, in his memory here is a track from IMO Supertramp's best album "Crime of the Century", parts of the track that I have chosen were recorded at Paddington Station...

RIP Rick.

I was into Supertramp at the time and agree that Crime of the Century was quite possibly their best offering.

[Newportnobby]

I always found Supertramp to be a little 'Marmitey' but do have 'Crime of the Century' and 'Breakfast in America'.
Currently listening to Thunder's debut album 'Backstreet Symphony'. A band I sadly never got to see but I rate them as as an excellent R & B band

Currently listening to an 80/90's rock playlist on Youtube, including some powerful rock ballads including  this one from Cinderella
