70's children only

[Uncle Spielberg]

Being a poptastic junior in the early70's what great glam rock bands. They don't make them like this anymore. Whoses your favourite ?.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Had to go from Slade - some great anthems, my favourite being " Cum on feel the Noise - superb.

Also The Sweet - Teengage Rampage and Ballroom Blitz, pretty damn fine, Oh the memories !.

 

[Wez]

20th century boy!

 

[Dandyman]

And the man at the back said everyone attack...

A fairly accurate description of the North Stand in the 70's...

 

[Minghawk]

shouldn't really admit to this, but I was a big Gary Glitter fan -

had a huge poster of him on my wall.

Having said that, he probably had one of me on his wall

T-Rex as I'm named after Mr Bolan and even like the music

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I was born in 1981, but love 70s music..so I voted. T Rex all the way, my mum nearly gave birth to my brother at a t rex gig in brighton..would have been quite a cool intro to life halfway through 'Ride a white swan'.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Glitter had to be included as his back catelogue was very good and he was one of the major forces.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Slade..

I wasnt a skinhead but I did like their music

"My friend Stan's, got a funny old man ..oh yeah...mmmm
He makes him work all night, till he can't get it right...oh yeah

 

[rool]

'D'ya wanna be in my gang (oh yeah), was the first single I ever bought. I was only nine so I can be forgiven but I loved his music at the time.

 

[Brady's Old Lady]

I've voted Slade as that's who I was really into at the time. I didn't really get into T Rex until after MB died.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

What about The Sparks - This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of US








And it ain't me who's gonna leave

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

I think that we can rule out Mud, BCR, Rubettes and Showaddywaddy can't we? I never really saw Wizzard as glam rock - Roy Wood was a top bloke though, and The Move I liked also (but hated ELO - basically Wizzard without Wood?).

Gary Glitter was pretty good - loved Rock and Roll Parts I and II, but gone off him now for some reason.

So for me it's between The Sweet (top marks for offending my dad on TOTP - "That's a bloody Woman!") Slade, best xmas song ever, but T Rex gets it for me. They were the biz. Bolan was camper than Safeway and a true superstar, and IMHO the most talented and charismatic of the lot.

 

[Brovion]

It should really be T Rex but I voted Slade, however they weren't really Glam Rock as they were a bit too blokey. They just had a few visual references to it in some of their stage clothes.

Voroshilov - Good call, but it was 'Sparks' not 'The Sparks' - like it's not 'The Withdean'

 

[Storer68]

T-Rex were always too girly - all that sparkly eye-liner - too wierd for me in 73.

Has to be Slade - seminal 70's

 

[The Lizard King]

...Gary Glitter for me - i'll prob get crucified for saying that tho'!

 

[Reading Posh]

Has to be T-Rex, I'll always remember where I was when I heard he'd wrapped his mini around a tree - in the living room as it happens.

 

[Mr Popkins]

annoys me when peoples say slade were a joke band when they had such good songs-

come feel the noise
coz i luv you
my friend stan

alot of people only remember them for merry xmas everybody

one of the best bands of the 70,s

There are certain things best left forgotten, Glam Rock is a prime example.

 

[Sam]

even though Gary Glitter is a child porn freak, he did have quite a few good songs! Sammy Seagull (1985)
