10 Classic Rock Songs That Push The 7-Minute Mark

10. The Wizard - T.Rex

http://youtu.be/mfSSmy8B5GA Before he went about banging gongs, asking if metal gurus were real, and dancing out of the womb, Marc Bolan once sang about a wizard for eight minutes over some of the most bizarrely psychedelic glam-folk ever performed. Taken from their self-titled album, Marc had decided to do away with Tolkien-inspired folk ditties and crank it up to eleven, but that didn€™t stop him turning his folksy roots away. If anything, Marc manifested them into what would later be classified as €˜glam rock€™, and The Wizard somehow manages to tread the middle line between those early days playing in incense-perfumed clubs with twanging acoustic guitars to making pre-teen girls excite them in ways One Direction never could with flashy Gibson Les Pauls and tight, sparkling trousers.
