I like all T. Rex, and Futuristic Dragon is a bridge too far, but Dandy in the Underworld, I quite fancy. More realistically, The Slider.

I voted Electric Warrior. The Slider is great and rocking and sexy but EW even more so. Just for the song "Rip Off" I would vote for EW. That's a pretty fucked up song for a major label rock release in 1971. It's almost proto noise rock or art rock with it's arrangement and hanging jazz chord. I fucking love it.

ELECTRIC WARRIOR

This.

But I love'em both

yep

Team Electric Warrior Team for life.

I love EW as an album that I can listen to straight through. There's not much filler there. But I've always felt like The Slider had higher highs than EW. It's the one I grab first.
