Yeah, I dig Unicorn and some of the earlier items, but "Electric Warrior" is one of my favourite albums EVER.
I'm going to go put it on right now! Perfect day for it. Wish I had the vinyl, though.

That's an album that begs to be owned on vinyl, just for the square foot of epic fullstack action.

Count me in! Early 70's British glam rock was the shit.
I've been trying to get my band to cover 20th Century Boy since we started playing together.

Lol, I'm more subtle. I like to give them some illusion of control
But I also have a personal policy against talking about covers too much. They're fun and fill up a set nicely (we rawked Tainted Love on Saturday), but originals are our focus.
