28 Jan 2011: it's... 1972
« 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.

Wig Wam Bam?  Pretty much a Little Willy retread or pretread.  But BOS for rarity.

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

Great commercial with Big Josh and Big Jim.  Prequel to Brokeback Mountain?

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.
