Top 10: Marc Bolan's Sexiest Songs
10. Rapids Tanx is pure sex, anyway - and this track epitomises the Tanx sound. A slow groove, guitars left - right - and center, and Marc doing his best Flo & Eddie. Only Marc Bolan can sing about toes and uncooked meat, and still be sexy. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTvKSFzYnFA)
9. Solid Gold Easy Action It rolls along like a massive sex train. It's like Marc combined The Stones' Satisfaction and The Kinks' Lola into one naughty single. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezuDXPYS9iE)
8. Tame My Tiger Speaking of naughty, here's a great slice of it. Marc's got Gloria singing about her peaches, and asking him to chew her core. Cheeky. Sexy. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLBgjyHwyCo)
7. Ride My Wheels It sounds like Marc literally went to bed with the microphone. We're in bed with him. And we have a feeling Barry White might show up... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYZCmwRal_c)
6. Dreamy Lady Can you think of any other hit singles so obviously about oral sex? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrOLHYD1D84)
5. Baby Boomerang Marc was touring the USA and Canada with Blue Oyster Cult, and wrote this song about Allen Lanier's girlfriend Patti Smith. Awkward. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGpgiq1HJMY)
4. Spaceball Ricochet (Live)Â The second half of any live version of this song will consist primarily of sex noises. That's a guarantee. Not to mention, Marc is lyrically at his humblest, and - if you haven't heard - humility is hot. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHbHn2GP8Ns)
3. Token Of My Love This is one of the great overlooked songs in the T.Rex songbook. Marc pours everything into the vocal. It grooves along, resembling the Phil Phillips classic Sea Of Love, but this is a grungier, grinding, T.Rexier version. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af2ImxmzdWM)
2. Raw Ramp I know, Get It On isn't on the list. But the B-Side is, and it is even better... and sexier! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RxNYk2nql8)
1. Ballrooms Of Mars This breathy, epic ballad is straight out of one of your romantic teenage vampire dreams. If you are not seduced by Marc Bolan before the end of this, then you are wrong. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLeDCR-fWJg)
