Gary Glitter was considered "Glam Rock", wasn't he?

I did not know that Gary Glitter was "glam." I guess I paid more attention to the song Rock'n Roll. Oh, I just looked the song up on YouTube!!!

So, Queen's "Keep Yourself Alive" has won, no?

How did T. Rex, Slade or Mott The Hoople not win? 
I could understand if that is like "the big dogs" of Glam and you all wanted an "underdog" to win

Oh, c'mon, The Wanderer! 
Queen with their first single not "underdog" at all.

I love Queen but I honestly don't consider them to be glam rock musically. Visually they definitely are but they're more of a hard rock or prog band in their early days than a glam rock band if you ask me.
I would have expected Bowie to win in an ultimate glam rock showdown since T. Rex and Slade don't really get very much attention 'round these parts.

I never really considered Slade to be glam rock.

I think, their music style were closer to pub-rock, but their image was purely glam'ish.
