Glam Rock

[cc71]

Does anyone here like glam rock from the early 70s? I'm talking The Sweet, Slade, David Bowie and Suzi Quattro.

[Wolfboy]

Oh Yeah!
To many bands to mention

Just to name a few:
The Velvet Underground, T-Rex, The Hollies, Suzi Quatro, Cozy Powell, Chicory Tip, Norman Greenbaum, Left Side, Gloria Mundi, Shocking Blue, ...

Glam was really big in the UK but in America which was more conservative only Gary Glitter and T Rex had hits over there.

I'm surprised, positively surprised, by seeïng some of the bands you've mentioned Dario

Like for example, I know and love the music of T-Rex, but didn't knew Marc Bolan made a version of "Get It On" together with Elton John
Also didn't knew Bonnie St Claire & Unit Gloria were famous outside of Belgium and The Netherlands

And then there are two bands I find strange but definitely great seeing them in your list:
New York Dolls & Sigue Sigue Sputnik

Always got time for a bit of Glam Rock

[mihimarcelo]

wow! Cool selection, Dario. I'll watch them all.

Here is a video of NZ glam rockers Space Waltz

[nerdynudist]

Man I love glam rock, for anyone else who loved the theatrics especially I'd recommend a newer band called Steam Powered Giraffe they're about the closest modern equivalent to the glam rock of old

[Dario Western]

David Bowie went naked for the video of "China Girl" in 1983. :)

[oliolioliver]

I LOVE Glam Rock. It's my favourite genre of rock  music.

That would be a glam metal song, and I like more of the early '70s stuff.

David Bowie is the greatest musical genius of all time. I love his music so much. Labarynth is one of my favorite films of all time.  I also love kiss and the greatful dead.
