The Slider (EMI) is a glam rock album by T. Rex, released in 1972. It became T. Rex's most popular album in the United States, featuring the singles "Telegram Sam" and "Metal Guru", though neither of these became hits in the U.S. The much-parodied iconic cover was #37 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 greatest album covers. The Slider came on the heels of the success of Electric Warrior. The virtues of Electric Warrior were all there, but most agreed it had a very different style. T.Rex (occasionally spelt T Rex or T-Rex) were an English rock band fronted by guitarist and singer Marc Bolan (1947 – 1977). The band were established as a folk rock group in 1960s London, as Tyrannosaurus Rex and released their debut album in 1968 My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair... But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows which reached number 15 on the UK chart. They achieved mainstream success in the 1970s as a glam rock group with hits such as ""Ride a White Swan", "Hot Love", "Get It On" , "Solid Gold Easy Action" and "20th Century Boy".
