Question
Hi I wanted to now how mant albums T-Rex had and what they are called?
Thanks

Answer
Hi, Oli;

1. T Rex are not, and were not, punk rock.  They would probably end up being classified as 'glam rock', although in the very beginning they were a kind of hippie-folk act. Some people from the punk era were fans, and their music has its place in the pantheon of rock, but punk they were not.
