      Yeah , Glitter only had one hit in the states , "Rock'n'Roll,Pt.2" , of course. He became a star in Britain and on the continent , and , I guess , Australia ,  too , because of his NON - star like qualities . He seemed like a real good - natured fellow , and , people said he was , but no one knew , yet , what he was all about. Do I still love his music ? Of course , but this is a thread that's been covered......

      How about Rock 'n'Roll Hits from the early to mid 70's that did'nt suck ....

      1. Dwight Twilley Band - I'm On Fire .

      2. Thin Lizzy -The Boys Are Back in Town.

      3. Crabby Appleton - Go Back.

      4. Nilsson - Jump Into The Fire.

      5. John Kongos - He's Gonna Step on You Again.

      6. Alice Cooper - School's Out.

      7. Jo Jo Gunne - Run, Run , Run.

      8. Black Oak Arkansas - Jim Dandy.

      9.Brownsville Station - Smokin' In The Boy's Room.

      10.Golden Earring - Radar Love.

      11.Lee Michaels - Do You Know What I Mean.

      12. Black Sabbath - Paranoid.

      13. Mountain - Mississippi Queen.

      14. BTO - Hey , You.

      15. Cheech and Chong - Earache My Eye.

      16. Bay City Rollers - Saturday Night (Bonus points for the earlier version , only a hit in Germany.).

      17. Elvis Presley - Promised Land.

      18. Jerry Lee Lewis - Drinkin' Wine Spo - De - O- Dee.

      19. Sweet - Ballroom Blitz.

      20. Bobby "Boris " Picket - Monster Mash (Reissue , a hit for the scond time.).

      Mind you , I'm just going by songs that were hits in the states , hence the dearth of great Glam Rock songs. "Get it On (Bang a Gong)" was , shamefully , T Rex's only U.S. hit , and Slade charted in teh states with "Cum on Feel Th'Noize" and "Goodbuy T'Jane" , neither song cracked the Top 50. Sweet , of course , had three other chart hits , here , but , like T Rex , failed to conquer America.

      OK , what about "Midnight at The Oasis" by Maria Muldair? GOD , I hate that song , even as a kid , I hated it.....I know Muldair was keen on songs with sexual content , real or implied , but this just AIN'T sexy. Especially the way her voice keeps breaking. It's one smooth , but phoned - in ,  Guitar solo by acclaimed axeman , Amos Garrett , short of total garbage. And even that's too Jazz for my taste.   A wretched cover version was a hit , I guess , a few years back. Lightning strikes twice , so does do - do.

      I hate "The Weight" . "The Weight " I hate . Why do people think that it's so great?

      "The Weight" by The BAND , surely one of the most overrated bands , ever. I know that songs that never get off the ground are Rock'n'Roll at it's finest (Any Deadhead will tell you so.), but , I never got it......They were fine as Ronnie Hawkins' backing band , but , after that , zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.  I was never much of a Dylan fan , either, so their tenure with him , I know I'M SUPPOSED TO ADORE, but , I find it a BORE , BORE , BORE.

      Starland Vocal Band- "Afternoon Delight". OK , is there anyone who does'nt hate this song? (You younger people who may have never heard it , resist what little temptation that may come over you !).    I'm not knocking the sentiment expressed in this song , mind you. A few years later  , I read they did a version of "La Bamba", with new lyrics , giving themselves a CO - CREDIT !

      THERE'S A REAL CREEPY COUNTRY - POP SONG , EARLY - MID 70'S , I THINK.  It sounds like a duet by a creepy older guy and a barely of age , frankly scared sounding girl. They may have been closer than that in ages , in real life , but it sounds CREEPY ! tHE CHORUS WAS "gUESS i'M gONNA sTAY wITH yOU aWHILE". Fortunately , that's all I recall.

      Like a White Trash "J'etaime.".

      Big Dipper - "All Going Out Together" . Beginning of my non - love affair with Alt -Rock.

      Stray Cats - "Stray Cat Strut". I would not LIE to you. I heard two bands cover it in one week. One band was led by Lee Rocker , and he should have known better.

      Hayze Fantayze - "Shiny Shiny" . I worked in a Pizza place in '83 , I had TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO OR MY CO-WORKER'S CRAP - METAL TAPES , most of the time (YES , LIKE SCORPIONS , 10 years past their prime !). Mercifully , this song only got airplay for about a week.

      Styx - Boy, it's hard to choose ONE. Probably "Sing For The Day". Sounds like their voices were sped up to sound MORE castrato.....Speaking of which......

      Four Seasons , anyone? Hard to think of just one , probably "Big Girls Don't Cry". I'm probably a little more tolerant of 'em than when I was a kid , but that voice! Grating ! I'll even take Edith Massey's version over that.

      Quiet Riot - "Cum on Fell Th'Noize" , "Mama Weer All Crazy Now" - Their own stuff is no bargain , either.

      Motley Crue - "Smokin' In The Boy's Room"- as above.

      Krokus - "Ballroom Blitz " - as above.

      Joan Jett and The Blackhearts - "I Love Rock'n'Roll"  , "Do You Wanna Touch Me (Yeah Oh Yeah.)- as above.  Don't get me wrong , I even liked the  songs she sang with the later Runaways , most of 'em , and some of her first album , but , I never got on the bandwagon. I'll take The Arrows' original "I Love Rock'n'Roll' any day ( I met Alan Merrill. He said he's tried to reach Joan Jett , but, never met her. She should have been reaching out to him , to say thanks.), and I even prefer Tommy James' version of "Do You Wanna..." , he was in on the late train to Glam covers , 5 years before Joan , even doing "Devilgate Drive" by Suzi Quatro, whose schtick was "Borrowed by Jett , like Jim Dandy's was by David Lee Roth.

      HA HA HA......But  ,  have you heard their first two albums? I was really surprised how good they were , like Black Sabbath with a bit of Pink Fairies Psychedelia thrown in. I do know , I did see Uli JoN ROTH ONCE , IT WAS SO wank! He had films of himself playing real fast , and he'd replicate what was in thE films perfectly. WOW, man !

      U2 is a BAND?!  Kidding.....sort of.

      I don't blame you at all for hating the Scorpions , BUT , if you like aggressive , somewhat trippy , early 70's Hard Rock at all , you could do a lot worse than the first two Scorpions albums. They sound NOTHING like what they went on to become.

      1) Dunno that song ,but , I know I already spoke about CCR. It sucks that Fogerty got fucked out of his own songs , and even got sued for "The Old Man on The Road" , for sounding too much liek one of  his own songs ! But I can't get too worked up over him or CCR ,I like a song or two here and there, I know I'm in a minority so small it's invisible to teh human eye. Not saying they're bad , just been hearing them for over 40 years. Can't get too geeked up over 'em. Gimme The Blasters , any day.

       

      2. I liked CLAPTON , ALL RIGHT, WITH tHE YARDBIRDS AND JOHN MAYALL, IS HE OVERRATED LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER? OF COURSE. BECK TOOK THE yARDBIRDS INTO SOME really innovative twists and turns. I even like Page with The YARDBIRDS , BUT , CLAPTON WAS THERE AS LONG AS HE NEEDED TO BE ,HE WAS NOT AN "IDEA MAN"......

      3. I agree , I could'nt even name a worst Eagles song for this thread. They're ALL so bad.

      4. Fleetwood Mac , WEEEEELLLLL. FROM 1968 - 1970 , THEY WERE THE BADDEST WHITE BLUES BAND ON THE PLANET. With the super killer triple Guitar front line of Peter Green (Who favored CHICAGO BLUES AND VARIOUS ELECTRIC BLUES), DANNY KIRWAN (BEST ELMORE JAMES INTERPRETER THIS SIDE OF BRIAN JONES.) and Jeremy Spence (A not - so closeted 50'S Rock'n'Roll and Rockabilly enthusiast.), Fleetwood Mac could do no wrong , for a while.....Peter Green , their acknowledged leader , left , first , ostensibly because he had a very bad acid trip in Germany (As did Kirwan , reportedly.). He gave all his money to charity (Duly noted in The Clash's "Jail Guitar Doors " .), was commited to a mental hospital by his Father , and eventually decided to get back to his Jewish heritage  , even living on a Kibbutz in Israel for a time. After several comeback attempts , he was touring the world by the 90's , and putting on pretty good shows . Spencer took over as leader of the band for a while , and has only started touring again after a long absence. Kirwan joined a cult called The Children of God , he's around , somewhere....

      But , please , don't judge Fleetwood Mac from the crap they recorded from 1975 on. They were once  a great band.

      5. I know what you mean , tho' I find myself liking more McCartney stuff in my older age , most specifically , "Ram" and "Run Devil Run''.

      6.HA HAAAAA! Beast of Burdon , My Pizza's Burnin' !

      7. I know , A lot of those people did'nt own the songs , and could only make a few sheckles by re-recording them.....Sometimes , the results were'nt bad , especially Little Richard (OK , THAT'S THE  50'S) RE-MAKES FOR K-TEL, OF ALL LABELS , AFTER YEARS OF BAD REMAKES. Seriously....Some of The Equals' remakes were'nt bad , if only because they were padded out with decent cover songs and some killer originals , like "Bad Boy". The Strawberry Alarm Clock just put out a CD that's mostly remakes of their old songs , but , they're all good , and some are better than the originals. tHE TROGGS' REMAKES OF "Feels Like a Woman" and "Strange Movies" on "Black Bottom" (1980?) are good , it seems they did 'em just to have the songs on an album. But "AU", THEIR LAST (?) STUDIO LP , HAD A FEW GOOD NEW ONES , AND SOME really unnecessary remakes.....

      8. I could'nt believe Ska was coming back (Again.) when it did , in the 90's. It was'nt that popular West of England during the previous revival. Some of those bands did OK , but , obviously could only have hits with non - Ska material ("I Confess" , "Our House"...)...I used to be into that stuff.Not so much , now.   BUT THIS NEW SHIT IS TERRIBLE ! I AGREE. TURN AROUND , GO BACK !

      9. Don't know the song , but , it made me furious when people called 'em "Glam".

      10. Don't know that song , either, but , never got it with those guys , BoDeans , Smithereens , whoever was hot in the "Adult Radio Rock" world.

      1) John Fogerty- without the revival-
      " put me in coach"- no thanks, dick..
      2) Eric Clapton- "slow hand"- yep, the yardbirds were better without u. Jeff beck rules!
      3) Eagles- most anything... Tequilla sunrise.. El stinko
      4) Fleetwood mac- most anything. Any stevie nicks song or collboration. Ruined tom petty for Me.
      5) Wings- have a couple hooks here and there, but overall garbage.
      6) Stones- beast of burdon - que? My pizza's burnin? Rather listen to the ducktales theme song
      7) Any rercorded songs from 60s and redone because of ownership restrictions...popular in 80s. Gotta read small print. Just terrible versions.. Troggs... Especially the Animals stuff.

      8) mighty mighty bosstones... Knock on wood. Ska revival of late 90s... Reverse nike symbol.. Don't do it

      9) poison- every rose... I like to stab u in the eye and strangle u with those pretty Nelson brothers hair. Nuff said.
      10) proclaimers- 500 miles. I drive further to get away from this tune. Stick to whatcha know. Getting wasted.

      DEF LEPPARD. They did'nt even have a cool past like The Scorpions (First two albums , trust me. Black Sabbath meets The Pink Fairies. Heavy , but trippy.). Once , I was going to work , and I saw some kids having a party at our community pool. I STOPPED BY TO SAY "HELLO". I could tell they were into Def Leppard , I did'nt hold that against him. We had a couple of neighborhood bands that sucked , but it was good to see teens getting excited about music , ANY music......When I got home , later , I played a tape of "Rocket To Russia" . My Mom thought maybe it was the pool party band , and asked me if I'd been listening to something in my room. I said , yeah , I was listening to The Ramones. My Mom said , wow ! For a minute , I thought that band out side had gotten a LOT better !!!!
