I usually love high tech 80's remakes of classic tunes, but I gotta go with the original on this one.
T-rex, despite not hitting big in the US, had some classic singles in the UK.
I like both versions though, and I love Tony Thompsons slam dunk drums or whatever. | |

Power Station was the first one I heard but I go with Marc and 'em. | |

My vote goes to The Power Station, especially for the high-tech sounding intro! | |

In the T. Rex video did anyone notice a VERY young Elton John??? | |

I think he had finished doing something (some TV appearance) and he was friends with Marc so he invited himself to perform with them. And he was already a star lmao | |

T-Rex no doubt for me these guys where killing it in the 70's
But the remake is great! and i love th heavy bass Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

I heard the Power Station remake first, but you can't top the glam rock feel of the original. T.Rex wins. | |

I give the edge to The Power Station. That first 30 seconds alone does it for me, but I still dig T-Rex's original. "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

T Rex for me. I really love them and especially love how much Get It On inspired Prince to write Cream. | |

Power Station! "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

T-Rex all the way. What a sound. When I first heard that song I was high - and to this day - just hearing it - triggers. Wasted talent, Marc gone too young - heck all of them have passed. | |
