Here's my pick of Glam music. It has some that you traditionally see on compilations like this, but at least a few that are not part of the regulars (and I think they should be.) One of my favorites of that section is Kalus Nomi. It's hard to be more glam than him. His music fits right in (although he does it with an opera sound voice at times.) The beat is right there, the music is as glam as you can get. He dresses glam. Homemade costumes with glitter and gold and large amounts of plastic. This track is one of my favorites, but perhaps not his biggest hit. A few others might have gotten more attention, but Wizard Of Oz is also a glam movie. Tell me I'm wrong. And rarely do we see Klaus on any Glam compilations. It's a shame, I tell you.

Always loved Glam music, Thanks to The Sweet, Slade & Alice Cooper for the kickoff, And I'm of the opinion that had Klaus Nomi started a few years earlier, he would have been considered "Glam" and not "New Wave". it's timing....!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on Klaus Nomi! He's brilliant either way!
