The reign of glam rock may only have lasted half a decade from the early 70s, but its influence has been long lasting. Marc Bolan’s appearance on Top Of The Pops in 1971 was arguably glam’s starting point, but David Bowie – particularly his extraterrestrial alter ego Ziggy Stardust – was just as important, along with bands such as Sweet, Mud, Slade, Roxy Music and Mott The Hoople.Not only was the genre heaps of fun, it allowed the youth to rebel against conservative thought and reject commonplace gender norms. This rebellion frequently came dressed in an exuberant, often feminised wardrobe of platform boots, skin-tight garments, makeup and glitter. Although glam rock in its original form might now be just a distant echo, these are the bands bringing back the noise and breathing new life into a short-lived and often overlooked moment in musical history.
