This is the album that put glam rock on the map. And until Smashing Pumpkins showed up, T. Rex was the only location worth visiting in that neighborhood. With songs like "Bang a Gong (Get it On)" and "Jeepster," this disc has a couple of big hits, but it's the uniform brilliance of tracks like "The Motivator" and "Mambo Sun" that elevates Electric Warrior to classic status.
