I was surprised to see that there was any question, once I read the answers and choices. All are great bands, but some listed, are hardly considered as glam rock. I can understand though, the nod to Marc Bolan or Slade, yet I see Sweet as the kings of glam rock. Cheers. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/who-is-the-most-influential-70s-glam-artist/page/3#post-17068 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 13:55:38 +0000 MickMars 17068@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>i gave it to Johnny Thunders, New York Dolls are amazing! </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/who-is-the-most-influential-70s-glam-artist/page/3#post-17045 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 02:35:13 +0000 RockLibertyWarrior 17045@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I choose Queen well because I love Queen. Alot of my favorite bands site their major influence as Queen, but I'd have to go with T Rex and Bowie. They really were the ones to bring glam to the forefront. I am not discounting Sweet, Slade or the Dolls at all, don't get me wrong, every band listed had a certain influence. The only one I don't get is ABBA weren't they a pop disco band? To be honest I have never heard ABBA because my dad made our home a "disco free" zone even not allowing my mom to bring home disco records. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/who-is-the-most-influential-70s-glam-artist/page/3#post-11278 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 07:40:01 +0000 LouEno 11278@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>David Bowie &gt; New York Dolls &gt; Slade &gt; Queen &gt; Van Halen &gt; Alvin Stardust &gt; KISS &gt; Sweet &gt; ABBA </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/who-is-the-most-influential-70s-glam-artist/page/3#post-11254 Thu, 03 Apr 2008 23:31:22 +0000 EricL 11254@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Just to expand on that I remember Paul Stanley one time saying how they were going to market their new band Kiss and him and gene went to see The Coop and said "Alce blew us away, why cant there be 4 Alices on stage at once" Hence Kiss' image was born! </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/who-is-the-most-influential-70s-glam-artist/page/3#post-11253 Thu, 03 Apr 2008 23:27:16 +0000 EricL 11253@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>That is freakin awesome!

No band was as over the top as Kiss was. If you have seen them live, you can attest to that.

No way did Queen or Halen have anything to do with the Glam era.<br /> Alvin Stardust [Shane Fenton in the 60's] don't make me laugh, three good chart singles that's it?<br /> Most of the time bands just copied the pioneers and maybe took it one step further but they're just copying the godfathers of TRUE Glam Rock.<br /> Marc Bolan and David Bowie.<br /> Sweet and a few more just took Glam to the next totally over the top level. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/who-is-the-most-influential-70s-glam-artist/page/3#post-10360 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 19:57:45 +0000 LadyPeterbilt 10360@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <blockquote><p>"Wicked Lester 'aint Kiss?<br /> That could mean Sweet started out in 1967 then but they were'nt called Sweet?"<br /><strong>- panasonicq</strong></p></blockquote> <p>That's what might be believed, but Gene had ideas like that which happened to lead to KISS.

Just on record sales alone, but then factor into how many bands, especially during the 80's, named them as a major influence. Whereas one band might say "Sweet was the main influence" and another might say "New York Dolls were a main influence", both bands would eventually get around to saying KISS. KISS was probably on every single bands list. Maybe not at the top, but they were there. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/who-is-the-most-influential-70s-glam-artist/page/2#post-4148 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 02:01:00 +0000 Syndrome477 4148@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Awesome, brother Mars! </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/polls-forum/who-is-the-most-influential-70s-glam-artist/page/2#post-4111 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 19:52:58 +0000 Mars 4111@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I think we all wouldn't be here if Marc Bolan and his T Rex never performed this song!
