Song #148

Bang a Gong (Get It On) by T. Rex

It was released in 1971 in their album Electric Warrior

Fun fact: This was the song that virtually ended the once-solid friendship between Mark Bolan and John Peel, after Peel made clear his lack of enthusiasm for it on air after playing his advance white label copy. Bolan and Peel spoke only once more before the former's death in 1977.

Today’s purchase- 1984 reissue of the 1975 Elf album, Trying to Burn the Sun.

Ronnie James Dio was in Elf prior to joining Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow. He would eventually go on to join Black Sabbath and form his own band, Dio. RJD is definitively one of the best metal vocalist ever.

If you’ve never listened to RJD before, do yourself a favor and listen to Stargazer by Rainbow very very very very loudly
