So, people talk about *bad* classic rock too much. So, this thread is devoted to Glam Rock. List your favorite Glam bands, albums, songs, whatever. Over-analyze the "message" of Glam... Whatever you want.
Top bands:
T. Rex
Roxy Music
David Bowie
Jobriath
Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel
Top albums:
"T. Rex" by T. Rex (the FIRST Glam Rock records... period)
"Ziggy Stardust" by David Bowie
"For Your Pleasure" by Roxy Music
"Slider" by T. Rex
"Jobriath" by "Jobriath"
I also have a rant I wrote as the opening of a highschool term paper (which I got an A on!), which I'll post if anyone else posts anything really stupid/over-zealous, too.
Favorite Bands:
T.Rex
Sweet
Slade
New York Dolls
David Bowie
My favorite album over all is The Slider, fantastic from start to finish.
I hope the answers pick up soon, because I'm an ameteur glam fan, there have got to be a few more on here somewhere.
Edit:
Here's a list of favorite songs:
"Chariot Choogle" - T.Rex
"Jeepster" - T.Rex
"Children Of The Revolution" T.Rex (nice question name by the way)
"Virginia Plain" - Roxy Music
"Blockbuster" - Sweet
"Knocking Nails Into My House" - Slade
"Looking For A Kiss" - New York Dolls
"Who Are The Mystery Girls" - New York Dolls
"Rebel Rebel" - David Bowie
"Vicious" - Lou Reed (if you count that as his glam period)
And I haven't been exposed to much more than those bands. Unless you count Alice Cooper (I never really thought of him in the same category).
