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.
