glam rock fans?

Nice connect-the-dots by r_f_sayles, and I agree with all of it - everything he mentions is a lot of fun to listen to.

When you said Glam Rock, I THOUGHT that YOU
meant Poison, Motley Crue, Ratt, Bon Jovi,
Whitesnake, Hanoi Rocks, Dokken, etc.
ALL good bands.

Don't forget Lou Reed! "Transformer" is the most "glam" of his recordings IMHO

Fotis:

Yeah, the reconstituted Dolls are on tour. I saw them in Detroit a few months ago, and they sounded quite good. It's not the same without Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan--and, to a lesser extent, Arthur Kane--but the band did sound appropriately loud and raw. David Johansen looked pretty scary, but he sounded damn good. The sound system wasn't great, but the attitude came through loud and clear.

Raytheprinter: I agree with "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue." It's an awesome album, and I agree: Mick really does cut loose. Have you heard his final album, "Heaven and Hull"? It's not glam, obviously, but it's a fitting conclusion to a legendary career.

Sgore1: Oh yeah, "Transformer" certainly belongs in the glam category. I think Lou was definitely aiming for crossover success after all the Velvets' commercial disappointments--he hired two of glam's shining lights, Bowie and Mick Ronson, to coproduce, after all--and it paid off in spades. Definitely one of Lou's best efforts, if not THE best.
