glam rock fans?

There are a lot of great "glam" albums, but one that I listen to a lot is T-Rex's "The Slider." It's absolutely fantastic, with great melodies and arrangements, and really cool, impressionistic lyrics. It's arguable whether it's as good as "Electric Warrior," but it definitely deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as that classic album. Hopefully, one day the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will come to their senses and enshrine Marc Bolan, one of the founding fathers of glam.

I’m with Hooper’s assessment of Marc Bolan. One could argue if T.Rex- Electric Warrior wasn’t the genisus of Glam-Rock all by it self. Then on to Bowie with Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders from Mars and Aladdin Sane by the end of Diamond Dogs the psychedelic twinkle of glam started to fade. It was short lived but all in all some gender twisting, mind blowing good rock. Roxy Music carried the torch from s/t thru Manifesto with seven Lps in all. Some consider that the start of Art-Rock. Equally arguable is where glam ended as a genre. There were albums by Bowie and Roxy Music beyond glam well worth owning IMHO, as you may well know. Bowie’s -Pin Ups, Station to Station, Low and Roxy’s - Flesh + Blood and Avalon are excellent. Then depending on how far off a tangent from there you care to swing there is Todd Rundgren’s -Something/Anything, Eno’s -Another Green World, Lenny Kravitz- Mama Said, Prince… and the list goes on. Enjoy!

I agree with Hooper ,,i have The Slider,Tanx,and Electric Warrior,on LP,and they all sound VERY good !Another fav of mine is Slaughter on 10th Avenue,Bowies guitarist Mick Ronsons solo album is fantastic,he really cuts loose on this album!!!,, good recording too!

Did you know 'The New York Dolls' are currently on tour?

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.
