Glam Bands

SimpllySweet started this discussion · 4/10/2009

I felt a little foolish after looking up glam bands. So I thought I'd put up a list I came across of a ton of different glam bands for anyone else that needs help. Poison KISS Van Halen Mötley Crüe Guns N' Roses Bon Jovi Aerosmith Def Leppard Metallica Ratt Scorpions Quiet Riot Dokken AC/DC Judas Priest ZZ Top Cinderella Faster Pussycat BulletBoys Warrant Skid Row Junkyard White Lion Tesla Whitesnake Night Ranger David Lee Roth W.A.S.P. Twisted Sister Enuff Z'nuff Kix D'molls L.A. Guns Mr. Big Bang Tango Dangerous Toys

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 Quiet Riot Dokken AC/DC (scungy metal yes, glam, no.) Judas Priest 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 L.A. Guns Mr. Big Bang Tango Dangerous Toys Not really glam rockers, but happy to be proven wrong! ABBA, Disco Adam Ant, New Wave to punk Alex Harvey Alvin Stardust Angel Be-Bop Deluxe Blackfoot Sue Brett Smiley Brian Eno, New Wave Bryan Ferry, new romantic / new wave Cherry Vanilla Chicory Tip Deaf School Doctors of Madness Electric Eels Electric Light Orchestra Geordie Girl The Glitter Band Hello Hush Iron Virgin Jet Jobriath Kenny Kim Fowley Kenji Sawada Lou Reed, nope, 60's underground yes; father of new wave / punk, possibly. Magnus Uggla Metro Mick Ronson Mud New York Dolls, punk Roxy Music, new wave / new romantic Roy Wood Sadistic Mika Band Sailor Showaddy Waddy Silverhead Skyhooks Slik Sparks Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel Supernaut Sweeney Todd Tiger Lily The Tubes Twisted Sister, Hair metal Vodka Collins Jayne County White Witch Wizzard Zolar X Post-1970s glam (most of these are actually goth, unless otherwise noted) The Ark The Auteurs Bauhaus, Nope. Goth yes, glam, nope. Blondie New wave / punk Cinema Bizarre The Darkness King Adora Lovex Hanoi Rocks Klaus Nomi Manic Street Preachers Most definitely nope. Marc Almond, early disco Marilyn Manson, Nope. alt-goth yes. Melody Club Mika Negative Nina Hagen, punk but Hermann Hies Er has the best guitar opening ever!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZEdxHT_lbA&feature=related then it turns into great German Punk. Orgy The Phonic Athletic Pink Grease Placebo Private Line Robin Black and the I.R.S. Rocket Semi Precious Weapons Schwefel Scissor Sisters, pure disco Soft Cell Spacehog Suede Turbonegro We Are The Fury OMG, can you tell I grew up in the 70's / 80's??? 🙄 Edited to add the top list too!

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 🙂
