    I think Glitter posted a list somewhere, also… under the "everything else…" forum I think.

    Wow, I have more glam rock than I realized… I just posted my vid but I’ll probably do another one.

    Glam rock is more the 70’s based stuff, the T-Rex type sound. Hair metal could be a sub-genre.
    I’ve edited the below list with my knowledge. I won’t play music purist for those who’ve chosen other tracks…

    David Bowie (anything from 75 – 80)
    T-Rex
    Elton John, very album dependent. (Yellow brick road has moments)
    Gary Glitter (C’mon, c’mon)
    The Sweet (Ballroom bash)
    Alice Cooper, track dependent
    Marc Bolan, yes, yes yes!!!!
    Mott the Hoople
    Queen, 70’s fer sure. Bohemian Rhapsody, FB Girls etc.
    Suzi Quatro
    Joan Jett (early 80’s, stop after I love rock n roll)
    Hello Sailor
    Early Spilt Enz
    Slade
    Status Quo (mid 70’s)
    David Essex, pure pop but had his moments
    Kiss

    All these are varying forms of metal but not really glam rock. Although Hair metal could be considered a sub-genre of glam rock. Those I’ll put an H next to.

    Poison H
    Van Halen H
    Mötley Crüe H
    Guns N’ Roses
    Bon Jovi H
    Aerosmith
    Def Leppard
    Metallica
    Ratt H
    Scorpions H

    ZZ Top
    Cinderella H
    Faster Pussycat H
    BulletBoys
    Warrant H
    Skid Row
    Junkyard
    White Lion
    Tesla
    Whitesnake H
    Night Ranger
    David Lee Roth H
    W.A.S.P. H
    Twisted Sister H
    Enuff Z’nuff
    Kix
    D’molls

    I do have to disagree about the Marilyn Manson one although obviously his entire music collection isn’t glam rock…but a lot of songs from his Mechanical Animals CD were very glam rock inspired, and his video for Dope Show definitely has a lot of androgyny in it which was a huge part of glam rock…

    Not trying to be a music snob, just throwing in my .2 https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
