Notes:

A compilation of what I consider to be some of the best Glamrock bands of the early to mid seventies...

Slade, Sweet, T-Rex, Roxy Music... Piece by piece, top acts who made a difference in the seventies, if not by their outrageous looks, then by the excellent music they've produced...

Of course, there's the odd-one-out, or the odd-two-out, like Cozy Powell's Hammer, or Leo Sayer... But, strange as it may seem, they've been at one time or another, associated with the Glam movement, sometimes to their own dismay...

Glamrock wasn't as much a musical genre, rather more of a vestimentary statement, with Gary Glitter as their uncrowned king. Soon, acts like The Sweet or The Sensational Alex Harvey Band followed, by making use of the same dresser.

But not only the glitter prevailed; in the wake of the aformentioned, anybody who dressed out of the ordinary (David Bowie, Sparks, Slade, Cockney Rebel), was embraced and welcomed within the folds of the Glam movement, even poor Italian ex-crooner Adriano Celentano, who just made a witzy record with the unpronouncable title "Prisencolinensinainciusol", which still is the best single evr, with lyrics that simply have no meaning. For Celentano, who was a man of many trades (actor, singer, cabaretier/stand-up comedian, painter, writer) knew not a single word of English, but decided to make a "make-believe" English record... and he succeeded greatly laugh.gif

Anyway, whatever the case, I feel this is, if not a comprehensive, at least a decent look at what was in the charts and what made the teens tick during the early seventies...


Enjoy, ppl wink.gif
