Are you trying to make sure I'm paying attention? That's Alice Cooper's pic you have right on top which means that you're agreeing that Alice Cooper was the first glam rock band.

Well the first on her list was David Bowie.
The post where this pc shows up was her saying, "more" so I do believe another cool Alice pic was used.
But if she has Alice Cooper's pic anywhere in her examples of glam rock bands, then she is agreeing that Alice Cooper was a glam rock band. Therefore she has to agree that Alice Cooper was the first glam rock band since Alice Cooper preceded those other fellows!

that is correct/Alice dabbled in Glam...Bolan and Bowie came way before Alice in the genre
He was very(Alice) into it and pioneered the small part of America that listened to Glam but he was NOT the godfather imo
and i was including Alice as PART of this era not confirming Fox's opinion.
Psssst Fox ( I KNOW better/you always pay attention )

Sure ,they do have elements of Glam,
but I always classified Alice Cooper as 'Shock Rock'

Bucky is going to roast you when he sees you referring to Alice Cooper as schlock rock.

So then you're saying the snake is there to shock and not schlock or glam?

under SHOCK ROCKERS :With a career spanning the mid-1960s to recent years, American band leader Alice Cooper refined shock rock, with expensive, upscale illusionary, graphic stunts, such as feigning decapitation with the use of elaborate special effects. [1] In the early 1970s, Cooper's unique blend of heavy metal and folk-blues, complete with sardonic and inevitably controversial lyrics, proved a powerful inspiration

Glam fashion was and is too friggin' weird for me. It was more about the music for me.
I got into Alice Cooper for the music. When I was younger, I just thought Alice Cooper was a great rock band. I think 75% of glam was all about the look and fashion, that's why I think glam was just fluff.
Mott The Hoople's best stuff was before they went ''glam'' - Mott the Hoople (1969), Mad Shadows (1970), Wildlife (1971), Brain Capers (1971) - when the were a rockin rhythm and blues band, but that another thread.
T Rex and Sweet was the cream of the crop....but then again, T Rex was around before glam too. Glam was just a bandwagon some bands jumped on for 2 or 3 years....Even Bowie jumped off pretty fast...but, again....that's another thread.
Yeah, Alice Cooper rocked.

Thanks CH...I plan on stopping there soon. So many threads of great bands I haven't got a chance to visit. I haven't even visted the KISS thread yet - and I'm one of the biggest 70's Kiss fans around. But, yeah - Mott's on one of my stops soon.
I Gotta Get Me The Motts!...
