I know this was a bit later in their careers but Roxy music's song More Than This is one of my favorite songs!!

Blecch, I've developed quite a distaste for Bryan Ferry.

Not that Marc Bolan's done much of note recently, but still, better to do nothing than crap-thing.

Besides, without T.Rex, we'd never have gotten Ziggy Stardust out of Bowie. Reason enough for me!

I like both okay, but I totally have to agree. There's nothing like 70's funk.

I've never heard of these bands.

You are so right on. Sly and the Family Stone RAWKS. I never tire of hearing them.

Blondie has been covering it on their current tour. I have an MP3 if you want it, though it's not the greatest quality.

Zuh?! Surely you both have, you just might have forgotten, or not realized. I don't think they let you exist if you've never heard "Bang A Gong" by T. Rex and "More Than This" by Roxy Music.
