Yes, Screen 13, Marc Bolan made some very enjoyable music in his day.

I used to live ten minute`s walk away from the place where he lost his life :-

For anyone who doesn`t know the circumstances, one night in 1977 Marc`s girlfriend was driving him home in her mini when she went off a road that is quite exceptional for London; a quiet, little-used road running through a small stretch of woods called Barnes Common, it has a curve and a humpbacked bridge over a railway track, which is where she lost control of the car. Back in the old days, the bridge wasn`t important enough to warrant a name of its own, but since the accident locals now refer to it as "Bolan Bridge", in the rather dry, humourous way of Londoners.

Anyway, back on topic, one of my favourites of pop rock is from this under-rated 1979 album; Angel Station by Manfred Mann :-
