Glam Rock and you.

Sparks is okey from what I have heard (and he is glam rock)

Of these I will go for Electric Warrior.  But Bowie could easily get my vote.

Some great albums but I'm not voting as a protest for missing out Slade.

You were right not to include Heroes or Low: Bowie may have been a glam rock artist for some time, but these albums were of a later date: the real glam rock years were from 1971 to 1974.   Some other glam rock artists of the period of whom most were of a lesser artistic level than the ones you mentioned: The Sweet, Middle of the Road, Slade, David Cassidy (many girls of my age were in love with him ), The Osmonds, Alice Cooper, Gary Glitter. These crowded the singles charts in those days.   At that time I did not listen to albums yet. This started with Pink Floyd and turned me into prog.   BTW, my vote goes to Hunky Dory.

I don't pretend to have any extreme glam rock knowledge. I've been exploring the genre for the past few weeks and have really grown to adore T.Rex and Bowie. Roxy Music was fine, too. This is a terribly incomplete list. I'm mainly looking for suggestions outside of Bowie, Rex, Hoople, Roxy, and the New York Dolls. I didn't include Heroes or Low for some reason or another.
