All the glam rock artists who scored huge hits were, in my opinion, total crap, with the obvious exception of T. Rex. <BR/><BR/>There's a very good blog run by Robin Wills (guitarist from the English band The Barracudas) called purepop, and I found there that all the real treasures were one-off singles by studio-producer teams, overlooked B-sides and groups who split after having had a failure or two. Visiting that blog, I heard more glam rock/pop treasures in a few days that I heard when I actually lived through the period itself!<BR/><BR/>I even found the definitive 'Mott The Hoople' single there (in other words, the great record Mott The Hoople promised to make, but never actually did).<BR/><BR/>Check it out!<BR/><BR/>http://purepop1uk.blogspot.comtoppop100https://www.blogger.com/profile/04540785160747308279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-17402781632261092432007-05-09T13:12:00.000-04:002007-05-09T13:12:00.000-04:00Glam rock was always a nebulous category to me.

Maybe the category was clearer in the UK but I could never sort things out<BR/><BR/>-SpaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-55847332666137954792007-05-06T22:28:00.000-04:002007-05-06T22:28:00.000-04:00Correction!!
