Combine extravagant, flamboyant, androgynous costuming and makeup with teenage bubblegum pop melodies or stomping rhythms from early rock & roll and you will have a pretty good idea of what Glam Rock is (a.k.a. Glitter Rock).
Mostly a British phenomenon, Glam Rock peaked during the mid 1970s & during these 5 years took to new heights the idea of rock music as entertainment.
Do you remember in the last century, before the introduction of the CD ? When we were discovering the sound of these different rock/pop bands on these fragile black vinyls ? The sound was sometimes hissing & scratching, but how many hours have we spent listening to our small collection of LPs while reading the liner notes ?
Well my only objective is to share the music I liked then, yes the one of the 60's, 70's & 80's thru the different styles that emerged during this timeframe.
great stuff Mr E.... some great memories of glitter boots and flamboyance
