Can't beat a bit of Glam Rock, it was a special time in pop/rock music history

It was a dreadful time in pop/rock! With the exception of Bowie and of Roxy Music, all the glam rock bands of the '70s were complete and utter crap: The Sweet, Garry Glitter, etc, as well as the above cited performer.

But each to their own.

I think you have forgotten those below, included because they all entered into the glam rock spirit at some point, flamboyant, cross-dressing, fantasy lyrics no-one understood, catchy riff driven songs etc.

As you may notice there are some very well known and influential artists who rode the glam rock wave, saw their way through the 2 years of punk backlash, which was effectively engineered anti-pop and went up its own rear end. They then saw the emergence of early goth and new-wave both harping back to glam influences but more edgy in some cases, by the end of the 80’s, the pop scene was loosing its way and became tedious with artists trying to find the new thing.

So whether you liked the glam era or not it did spawn some Very successful artists some of which are still with us today.

Me too.

Some of the categorisations are questionable to say the least, but then it is Wikipedia.

Well that does it then it sounds as if you have a big gap in your listening years and pleasure. Never mind I am sure you will get over it.
