[qwertyuioplll]

predictable but fuck it - 8765 people are 20th century boys

[rockstarr252]

i love t. rex

[Scottymak72]

40 years of age and Im just discovering the genius of Bolan. Epic music timeless it seems.

If we'd never heard of him, and this guy appeared now and played this track and Get it On back to back live, it would be like WTF this guy rocks !

[WestofHollywood1]

This is the greatest rock song of all time.

[951kouta753]

if you play this song,you can feel world happy.

[616Dave616]

Without comments.

:0!.

[devangelis]

It must have been so cool to live at a time when Rock n Roll still, ya know....existed!

[mondaburgh]

now a days in glasgow where im from the youngsters will be listening to daft rave sh**t! that was real music when i was a 20th century boy thumbs up if you agree!

[MrTribaldrummer]

This has got to be my new favourite guitar riff , like money for nothing by dire straits , very catchy and fun to do air guitar to ! ;)

[oasismadferit7]

i was born in the 90's wrong era, i like oasis, the beatles, the jam, the who, the verve im so jealous of people who were brought up in the 60-70 era

[IamtheMartin]

@oasismadferit7 Could not say it better mate.

[citrusgirl92]

Glam rock still rules!

[Poskitt92]

Long Live Kenji Endo!

[bellydancingdream]

I was in love with Marc when I was 2.

[killercroc89]

Back in the days when MTV was MTV and not some stupid piece of Reality Show Bullshit

[1275Music]

Listening to this because tim learning it for a gig soon. Might get me some bongos too.

[heroicndashing]

I love this song, I love t-rex...marc may be gone but he lives forever in his songs...these songs will be here forever and ever long after we have gone...ROCK N ROLL IS TIMELESS!

[strumfellow]

This song could have been released today and fitted in quite well with the music scene which goes to show it simply doesnt date any

[Likeyoucare]

I don't even like T-Rex but that is a great riff.

[Dalsir1]

Thanks for upload, almost forgot about this

[hksunking999]

Thumbs up if you want to hear this song again after watching the Japanese movie 20世紀少年

[MagickZoso]

Take me there....now!!!

[SpittingVillage]

Justice never dies

[BattleFRANKYnr36]

i just had to look this song up because Endo Kenji said it rocks.

[skateslakai67]

heard the song so many times before but top gear finally got me to search the title and band because i couldnt remember.

[borisbulldog]

Sadly this great song was ruined in those NFL commercials with gay steeler fans waving their gay piss colored towels!

Long live T-Rex!

[hearditman]

@borisbulldog Why gay? Is gay bad? R U a fuckin tit? 

[borisbulldog]

@hearditman

No gay is OK unless you're a squealer fan!

Are you an assfuck squealer fan? Thougt so! Now go fuck yourself queer!!!!!!!

[RunnyShitSack]

@borisbulldog you sir, are a moron.

[octavius1augustus]

The most powerful opening of a song ever. Plus the best song of the 20th century, no doubt whatsoever

[GabryTuz]

Sing Kenji!!!

[superzodiac1000]

kenji brought me here.

[MrRudoWakening]

Such a great tune. Not too shabby for a guy who wanted to be Syd Barrett.

[Nightmarekks]

Kenji Endo brought me here

[devl385]

Every body says it's just like rock n roll

[PSGPanty]

Just saw the 6th page > 7th chapter > Vol 3 of the manga "20th century boys" by Naoki Urasawa where Kenji says: "That takes me back. "20th Century Boy"..." while holding an album by this band.

That made me proud of being a fan of both this band and Naoki Uarasawa :)

[rockinbear75]

I got to see T. Rex 4 times back in the 70's, first time was T. Rex with Uriah Heep opening at The Auditorium Theater in 1972, then Three Dog Night with T. Rex and Lee Michaels opening for TDN at The International Amphitheater I think or it could have been Chicago Stadium , Doobie Brothers & T. Rex at The Auditorium Theater and Kiss, T. Rex, UFO & Hydra at the Aragon Ballroom, all these were in Chicago.

[TheNeernitt]

reading 20th century boys while listening to this.

[simplewish95]

R.I.P. Marc Bolan. Maybe if it wasnt this stupid crash they'd still be performing

[FGN1022]

やっぱ最高



[SorenUnohana]

I'm here by Kenji.

[wdavis22]

Just learned to play this song on Rocksmith

[ezequielcaetano95]

epic legend

[islommer]

Gloria Jones + Marc Bolan = Some ugly mulatto without a shread of talent! :)

[varelatom]

This is a song to fight a gigant robot with

[TheArgirakos]

@varelatom wel good to see someone else read the manga ;)

[Scuzyman]

Wow, Powerman 5000's version is way different. But they both are good.

[CrankyWizard]

@Scuzyman

Powerman 5000

Good band

Pick one

[NevitablePinholeBurn]

Adam Lambert is a fag.

[aizawasuki]

[ArmTheHelp909]

"Someone should tell these chicks that DISCO'S DEAD!!!!"

[TheHeavenBlow]

[zxm2501w]

@TheHeavenBlow i wish i could give this comment way more thumbs up!

[rallo42]

Get Him To The Greek...That is all

[shirtshine73blitz]

It really doesn't get better than this.

[BSEmadcow]

Amazing tune.

[TheJeezy420]

Lords of Dogtown

[TheKassicRock]

T. Rex is awesome.

But I hate the Steelers and that damn towel.

[mgrg40]

One of the best guitar riffs ever!

[fokker313]

@mgrg40 a master of the 4 note riff, so simple and so GREAT, Bolan was the freddie mercury of the 60's, sadly both gone, but what a jam in the pearly gates. rock on

[awhiteman1986]

@fokker313 im pretty sure this is glam rock the 70's not the 60's

[fokker313]

@awhiteman1986 actually a little of both, bolan formed t.rex in 1967, but they hit the "scene' in early 70's w/ jeepster, ride white swan, gong, metal guru.....point is he's gone (1977) & so is freddie

[DannyMan167]

Like if Match of the 70s brought you here.

[juegas]

fuck the the terrible towel i will use that fucking towel to wipe my ass!

[PacificBiatsch]

This is fuckin' rock'n'roll!

I love it!

[atomicpunk48]

Love this kind of rock and I miss it. I'm almost 50 years old, but this song brings me back. Has way more energy and melody than anything I'm hearing out there today. Glad I grew up in those years.

[0rangootang]

makes me want to watch neds

[Russki46]

When your at the lights in your car and this guitar riff comes on you just have to floor it when it changes to green ;-)

[chalky2810]

Thumbs up if you feel you should have lived in the 1970's to have seen when T. REX were ruling ...

[tbalazy]

@chalky2810 I did, but I was 4 when this came out! This is one of the best songs ever done, even now.

[melchalo]

@chalky2810 i was born in the wrong era 

[bostonrockgrrl]

@chalky2810 I did!!! Lucky I am! This is a ROCKIN track!

Ask Bowie...

[Vashtiana]

@chalky2810

I did and they Rocked my World...

[johnlivia6061]

@chalky2810

I lived in the seventies. And the sixties too.

That only means I'm getting old. Damn! But still rocking...

[MajorVidGamer]

@chalky2810 Yes, but not just for T. Rex! Don't forget all the other great classic bands we all know and love. I can't name any right now since there are so many!

[seamustkd100]

@chalky2810 i was there he was the king of pop !!

[cricketbat08]

In a word, totally brilliant.

[A7Xforlife99]

@cricketbat08 thats 2 :D

[jac6995]

I first heard this song in a commercial long ago and I wondered for years what it was. Until one day I finally heard it in a movie and just looked up the soundtrack. That was a great day.

[dal0768]

[TheKassicRock]

@dal0768

Yes you do. It's called "Pop Rock".

[MarkCheetah3]

This reminds me of Kiss.

[JoliePIT9]

Wow! I didn't know about this song until the ESPN commerical. I'm hooked on this song!

[stephmc70]

[penjane1]

Rock on the 70's. You'll never get music like this again! I love it, I love it, I love it!

[Brettsburg20]

I first heard of this song this past summer, and I couldn't figure out why I have never heard this on radio. Thanks to ESPN, I wonder if they will finally play this on radio after 38 years after it was released. It also was the intro to the Detroit/Green Bay, Thanksgivings Day game. I also heard it on a USA Network show, a few weeks ago!

[octavius1augustus]

A classic for all centuries

[topburner1]

i got this from the terrible towel commercial!

Too. Much. Win.

[hearditman]

the opening to this song is "the most exciting 19 secs in rock history" according to LA Weekly!!!

[venusloony16]

@hearditman couldn't agree more!!!

[blagger56]

this makes an excellent ring tone

[simplewish95]

I'm 21st century boy and i still like it !!!

[irishpgh]

Thumbs up if the ESPN Steeler video got you here!!

[Convoicev2]

@irishpgh Haha ravens beat steelers twice

[beatdown31]

Rock and roll. You gotta love it.

[indian5]

[FourCornerMan]

They were truly ahead of their time. Just amazing stuff!

[MatheusLemosPereira]

American Airlines sucks, but 33 1/3 rocks!

[alphawavesrocks]

Stereophonics grabbed that guitar riff for The Bartender & The Thief, Guess the Thief was actually KELLY JONES LOL

[danalovesjoe5555]

[MrSlimjimk]

a master craftsman of the three minute pop tune

[Nandeloth]

And this is how Kenji Endo was introduced to rock and roll.

[oskarjoto]

@Nandeloth Nope, It was Jumping Jack flag.

[shonenarts23]

@Nandeloth and also to save the world or something right?

[zhok023]

@Nandeloth

Nope, it was Jumpin' Jack Flash. That's how manga got its name.

[edutsh]

@Nandeloth amazing manga

[hearditman]

I remember listening to this on my transistor radio, they don't make records like this anymore, I and my generation should have exclusive rights to listen to this....hahahah no, I'm kidding. I hate people who say this stuff. Shut up you old git, no one cares.

[narcophobe]

(@hearditman) i care! deepest respect for "your generation" when i hear baddass tunes like this one. young kids can rip off this riff but they can't BE IT. my dad knew, toured with Marc Bolan, lived in the exploding London of that time. these people were taking huge personal risks to push the medium this far. hold out some hope for the new kids though, art is like nature. always new good music happening, lightning just never strikes in the same spot twice. keep listening! cheers.

[mistery91able]

@narcophobe gfy dude listen up our music doesnt suck either, propain, a7x and slipknot

[narcophobe]

@mistery91able - definitely! i loves me all kindsa music from now (e.g Justice, Cephalic Carnage). i think it's easy for listeners to get alienated over time. you follow a favorite radio station for good new songs. then one day you wake up and there isn't anything you like on that station anymore, or any station. it's like music died. but the thing is, radio is just one venue, a shrinking one. there's also underground, music section, genre studies, the web. there's ALWAYS great new music.

[mistery91able]

@narcophobe tnx I agree with you back then people were actually as good at concerts as on the radio, now they autotune everything

[toolworks]

132 Justin Bieber fa - Just kidding, /hipster

[CommentWallyMay]

Great clip.

[4everClassicrock]

THIS SONG IS HOTTTTT!

[GaronHD]

Some people have said my music sounds like this. If you like it you'll probably like some of the original music I recently recorded. To hear it click on wisztrock. Thanks.

[4everClassicrock]

Be my 20th century boy, marc!! <3

[MsChrissummerfield]

20th century boy has one of the gratest riffs ever done by bolan. shame he died before he could blossom to his full. bowie is overated imo.

[celso1975full]

Um baita som..ex de rock clássico

[egtheerapat]

[13scooter131313]

thumbs up if the anime brought you here!!

:D

[atomofish]

@13scooter131313

There is no 20th Century Boys anime.......but there should be.

[r0llskyay0]

@atomofish

there is an anime called 21st century boys, thee title is based on this song

[Oreichalcos]

@r0llskyay0 Actually, there isn't. There's a comic and a film trilogy, but no anime. You're free to post a link to the anime, though.

[jungle2266]

@Oreichalcos Jeez cut some slack, you know damn well he probably meant the manga comic when he said anime, loads of people generalise any Japanese art as anime

[13scooter131313]

@atomofish

well i ment the manga. oops.

[brianab31]

The credit always goes to Bowie but Marc was THE original- and the BEST!!!

[brianboru62]
