  • Summary

  • Back in the UK, rockers are going in a different direction. While the giants of the ‘60s begin to morph into “classic rock”, a younger set, raised on the British Invasion acts, take the creative depth of the concept album craze and present it with a disaffected and sexually fluid flash. It’s the antithesis of punk, yet had more substance than the rote arena rock that was beginning to dominate radio. Bryan Ferry’s Roxy Music straddles glam, punk, and the emerging new wave, and adds an experimental edge with sonic adventurer Brian Eno. Glam eventually recedes, as its leading voice, David Bowie, evolves out of it (with the help of Roxy’s Brian Eno), but its retro-progessive influence only grows.

Very interesting

Interesting to hear how Glam rose and fell all within a few years. Funny thing is that I never considered Bolan a glam artist. As always in this series the narration is perfect!
