Known in T. Rex's homeland simply as Get it On, but in the rest of the world by the longer title, this song is part of T. Rex' lasting legacy & stands as one of their best songs. Sandwiched right in the middle of one of Glam Rock's most important albums, Bang a Gong (Get it On) has so many great little nuances that make it one of Glam Rock's defining anthems: the piano glissando, the overdubbed humming, the ballsey sax riff, the sassy lead riff, short guitar & sax solos & an epic chorus with singer Marc Bolan being backed by some powerful female voices. MIND BLOWING.
