I think that in the hayday of GlamRock albums weren't as important as singles. Thus a lot of GlamRock-albums were mere compilations of singles. I would never have dreamed about buying an album by Gary Glitter, The Glitter Band, Alvin Stardust (he deserves to be mentioned) or Sweet. If you liked the singles, you liked the singles (and to name just one example: The Sweet had some surprising Hardrock-numbers as B-sides of their singles. Im talking vinyl, of course).

I voted for Bowie and Ziggy Stardust, one of the most important (concept!) albums of the 70s.

Sweet album's (from Sweet FA onwards) are worth buying since they are more hardrock than their Chin/Chap glam singles would have you believe.
 
Sparks and T. Rex are two other glam bands I wouldn't (didn't) hesitate in buying albums of.

Suzi Quatro, the little girl with the big throat... She should have been mentioned before Embarrassed. And Gary Glitter too Sick.
 
The Runaways, Joan Jett was one of them, are part of another story, these gals came later, '77-78, they were of about my age.

So hard so hard so hard to choose...
I have to go for "The Slider", though.
Marc Bolan, for me, impersonated "Glam Rock",
Bowie may have produced music of more merit
as well as Roxy Music's first three albums may have "aged" the best...
I grew up on T.Rex, Marc was a main influence for me to pick up guitar
and write songs myself, and so it has to be him for me, still.
When I was a young boy, I slightly preferred "Electric Warrior",
but "The Slider" is more fun...
thanks for this topic !

Hunky Dory. Though I love Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and T.Rex' Tanx very much too.

The earlier "Sparks" album has some very strange compositions - and a nice guitar solo in "No More Mr Nice Guys".

I voted For Your Pleasure.  I don't like those Bowie albums as much as most people do.  T. Rex is much more fun.  But Roxy Music were incredible.

Yes, indeed. Still a massive Bowie fan, though.
Not very familiar with T.Rex. Something that should be remedied?

T. Rex seem to have settled into a glam rock groove. I was quite suprised when working backwards to discover the first "T. Rex" album and the preceding "A Beard Of Stars" and "Unicorn" albums as "Tyrannosaurus Rex".
