George's #8

I don't think we are going to travel out of the UK for this list.  This next band formed in 1967 by singer/songwriter and guitarist Marc Bolan. After earning success in the early and mid-1970s, the band broke up after Bolan was killed in a 1977 car accident. On the recommendation of Elton John, this album was recorded outside of Paris at Château d'Hérouville to avoid British taxing laws. Off of their 1972 album The Slider...

George's number 8 song is...
T. Rex ~ Ballrooms of Mars 

"You gonna look fine

Be primed for dancing

You're gonna trip and glide

All on the trembling plane

Your diamond hands

Will be stacked with roses

And wind and cars

And people of the past

I'll call you thing

Just when the moon sings

And place your face in stone

Upon the hill of stars

And gripped in the arms

Of the changeless madman

We'll dance our lives away

In the Ballrooms of Mars"
