GLAM ROCK
SONGS
Glam rock’s golden period was the early to mid-1970s emanating from the British music scene. Ushered in by the likes of David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Slade, Gary Glitter, Lou Reed and Roxy Music, glitter and glam rock played with and defied the rules of fashion, sound, sexuality and genders.
