Title: 28 Jan 2011: it's... 1972
Post by: RGMike on January 28, 2011, 07:29:13 AM
another unclear posting from AL -- she says it's an "all-glam" set by birthday request but also uses the word "year" so it appears to be '72

My guess was 72 but my choices from that fab year would not be classified as "glam." No thank you m'aam.

California Man was tune #1, so you didn't miss anything, even if your legs were aching.

Yep, sounds like '72 Glam Rock tunes: Bowie, Move, Slade.  Expecting some T. Rex and Alice Cooper.

OMFG! Sweet's "Wig Wam Bam", thank ya ma'am!  BOS5, tho' it's closer to the Archies' "Bang Shang-a-Lang" than T-Rex.

Nonsense syllables make for easy songwriting - something shared by both B-grade bubblegum and B-grade glam.

Gets my BOS, along with Mott's One of the Boys, the riff from which would be recycled into a BadCo song a few years later.

This Alice B-side is obviously another bustout -- and it's rare to hear a version of "When You're a Jet" that doesn't sound gay. This is really an amazing set, considering all these songs are from the same year.

The glam-rock parody from Phantom of the Paradise would fit nicely here -- wrong year, tho'.

Steals the BOS for me!

What was the guy singing during the commercial? "Floatsam Jetsam?" "Action Jackson?"

I'll take the Mott over TRex, and Roxy over everything, no matter what else gets played.

I suppose Virginia Plain is the only song from that Roxy album we can expect KFOG to air, but I would love to hear Ladytron or 2 H.B. come over the air someday.

Dang cow-orkers had me miss most of set.  Interesting to focus on a genre from one year.  Agreed, all-glam-all-the-time wouldn't work, but hey, perhaps that's how one of the current flock of Bay Area classic rock stations plans to break out in the ratings!  ;)

so this whole set came at the request of "Dave Dirt," an avid Facebook commenter.  That's not anyone here is it?  I know there's crossover from here to FB, but I think I know who all the various personae are...

I have to admit that I had no idea that Quiet Riot had been around in 1972. I had been under the impression that "Cum On Feel The Noize" was off of their first album. Hey, I've learned something, but I don't think I'm better off for it.

The QR remake of "Cum On..." in '83 gets points only because it set up Slade's brief '84 cumback, er, comeback.

Tim, I assume you were being sarcastic?

Gaz remarked the amps are horrible in this one; they certainly are VERY metallic, especially the solo.

Bowie, Mott, and Roxy are almost *always* good.  If they define glam, then I'm all over it.   The TRex cut wouldn't be my choice for this, but they have to be included- thankfully, it's short.  Throw in the Sweet, Slade, that Alice cut and the set takes a gimmicky turn. 

Slade?  They put on a top hat and makeup, grow out those mutton chops and scream some lyrics and, boom.  Glam?   Some guy on FB said Slade was horrible in concert back in the day.  I can see that.

Funny that we didn't hear Gary Glitter; "RnR Pt 1" was arguably one of the biggest "glitter rock" chart hits that year in the US, along with Alice C's "School's Out".

The glam-rock parody from Phantom of the Paradise would fit nicely here -- wrong year, tho'.

That wasn't merely a B-side, it was on the LP, which was in the very first batch of LP's I got from my first go round with the Columbia Music Club circa 1975.

my second favorite track in fact.  I totally, and I mean TOTALLY, flipped out when I heard this on Saturday.  Might be the biggest surprise Annalisa has given me yet.
