Missed the T-Rex era(too young). But I bought Zinc Alloy(on vinyl, no less) in 1989 and I thought this was one of the better songs on it. Can't understand why that album wasn't popular, a majority of those songs kicked ass.

Put your head between two good stereo speakers, get the lyrics and crank up this song just a little, sing along and let me know how good that makes you feel.

@andytrex fantastic, Bolan is a guy, that you at least 15 "favorite" songs that you find impossible to rate in desending order.

@DAVWAVE Couldn't agree more. Rapids is one of my all time favourite T.Rex songs. Absolutely timeless. The opening lyric is "Her mama said Clean out your head boy. Don't lay nothing on my child". The man really did lay some boogie on our minds!

Don't lay nothing on my jive? ON a certain level Bolan NEVER put out a better song.

Yiehaaa "agentwild" - I was running around the whole city to get the TANX album, too! I am 51 - now ;) Yiehaaa !!!!
Lovely - I remember buying the album Tanx on its day of release and loving every track - especially Rapids and Broken Hearted Blues. Simple rock n' roll they may be - but no one else sounded anything like this. Cosmic x
