For a brief, shining moment in the early '70s, Marc Bolan was the ultimate glam rock star. His ascent to stardom just happened to come at exactly the right time for an entire generation of punk and post-punk musicians, including Adam & The Ants, The Smiths, and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Those bands spread the gospel of Bolan throughout the rock world, from Guns N' Roses to Goldfrapp.
