He had a great run of chart topping singles in the UK charts between 71 & 73, most of them are collected on the Bolan Boogie album.
That would be a pretty good place to start.

Iron Butterfly's a (somewhat) good band from the 60's. Not sure if you'd call them "hidden" though, since 'In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida' gets a decent amount of recognition.
The Electric Prunes are pretty decent too, if they haven't been mentioned already.

Nothing to do with T.Rex but I recommend the film "Velvet Goldmine" starring Ewan McGregor. The film is set in the early 70`s glam rock era and the main character is certainly based on Marc Bolan. |

I like Electric Warrior a lot but I think that it is so popular that it overshadows other T. Rex albums that are just as good. The Slider and Tanx are very strong albums.
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida as a whole album is surprisingly good.

Brain Capers - Mott the Hoople. Their glam "All the Young Dudes" and follow up "Mott" get all the accolades, but BC is often over-looked. The Guy Steven's get everything in one take production is very rough around the edges but resulted in some awesome proto-punk moments like "Death May Be You Santa Claus". In 1970, Mick Ralph's riffing was considered quite brutal, and by today's standard, is still very energetic.

One word - Sparks.
All of their albums in the 70's are must-owns, along with all of their albums for this past decade for that matter. Their 80's stuff...not so much. But in the 70's and the Noughties, they were amazing.

Disagree about the 80`s though, as they had some very good albums in that decade, far better than the dance influenced stuff that they put out in the 90`s |
