I think The Pretty Things touched upon GLAM with their 'Silk Torpedo' album.
It seem,s to have been a total male thing - I can't think of a single female act (and no Bowie jokes.) I think it was cool at the beginning, but I'm not overly impressed with the likes of The Glitter Band, Sweet or Mud.Howzabout Roxy Music? More arthouse maybe (is that a genre?) Now they were the business.
Cheers Dave. I did not know that.
