Some great stuff by Sweet. Love is like Oxygen (album version) one of my favorites.

On a warm sunny day driving with the window open & blasting out Seeets greatest hits

I actually think they are the reason I've got a sweet tooth

Andy Scott is the only one left alive sadly, and he’s still keeping The Sweet name going with a U.K. tour later this year - they sold a hell of a lot of records back in the day too

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

Sometimes Suzi goes out with them.

 

[Erimus74]

Another glam rock song that will live forever, another example of erimus's excellent musical taste, I've always had it

 

[Redwurzel]

Is "Virginia Plain" by Roxy Music counted as a glam rock song?

 

[r00fie1]

Got the original first Roxy Music Album.
The band had the "glam" look,
but musically they werent a glam band.
That first album is amazing.

Roofie

Pygamarama was on the B side of the single I had. Another excellent song.

Didn't Eno say he was not human and was from a different planet?

 

[r00fie1]

Love Brian Eno`s "Before and after Science" and his ambient albums, espec "Music for Airports"

Well if we're talking Glam, here's where The Sweet got their Blockbuster riff from ...

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

Who started glam rock?
Marc Bolan or David Bowie?
Anyone else?

Bolan really, and I say that as a huge Bowie fan. he was the first of that cohort to have a rock band, first to have hits.

This is the apotheosis of Glam. if you were 12 like I was, you HAVE to drum along with the timpani bit. Great band Sweet; the Chinn and Chapman on the a-side, something big rocker by themselves on the b-side.

You heard this one, could be my favourite Eno track.

.... or I'm A Man by the Yardbirds/Bo Diddley.

Either way, it's a fine riff.

The yardbirds - I'm A Man

I asked the very question last week when a few of us were talking about glam rock, still not sure, its a hard call

Got to be Bolan I think.

 

[Erimus74]

Got to be Bolan I think.

I would argue with that TBH, but if someone lut a good plunt that it was Bowie I wouldn't disagree with that either

 

[FlapJacks]

I'm going for Carmen Miranda.

Absolutely loved Glam rock it's my era,im a big Bowie and Roxy fan but the older I get the more I listen to Marc Bolan.
