If you couldn’t tell from the fact that I refer to myself as Teleglam Sam, glam rock is my favourite genre and era of music. It’s the reason I am the way I am, really. 🤩

 

From Marc Bolan’s glitter tears, to David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust persona, to Freddie Mercury’s Zandra Rhodes-designed satin stage wear (and beyond) glam rock was an extraordinarily liberating and visually decadent era. However, the visuals were merely an extension of the era’s killer music. I’ve compiled a playlist of my favourite and notable tracks of the genre, for those looking to get into the genre or just looking to glam out.

The playlist starts with “Ride a White Swan”, which is considered to be the catalyst of the glam rock era, by none other than the glam God himself. The playlist continues with classics byQueen, Suzi Quatro, Sparks, Brett Smiley, Roxy Music, Jobriath, Slade, Sweet, T. Rex, Wizzard/Roy Wood, New York Dolls, Lou Reed, Roxy Music, Mud, David Bowie, Elton John, Mott the Hoople, Mick Ronson, The Runaways, Jayne County, Iggy Pop/The Stooges, Alice Cooper, Silverhead, Alvin Stardust, Bay City Rollers, and Brian Eno. Listen to the playlist below, and watch some videos to get your daily dose of glitter.
