Marc Bolan was going nowhere fast until he discovered glitter eyeliner and a copy of Cigarettes and Alcohol. Borrowing the riff from the Oasis classic and taking his lyrical inspiration from books about the periodic table, and the cosmos he turned himself into the Glam Rock poster-boy - replacing previous title holder, Noddy Holder. Bolan recylcles the same riff on a number of songs, and the lyrics are nothing original, but the song themselves are great.
Rating: 9/10
Favourite Track: Get It On
