The Early days of Totp
« on: October 04, 2004, 07:38:06 AM »
Here's a site with some anecdotal info on glam rock and the changes that music went through related through the stars of the time.

I know it is mainly 70's, but I think it has some interesting stories in there and shows how "pop" music was evolving and probably paving the way for the diverse range of music that was the 80's.

also some of the bands mentioned were still around in the 80's

What do you think ?

This is a fascinating site and a rare glimpse into the beginnings of what became known as "Glam Rock" for one. Thanks to an anonymous guest for viewing this as it drew my attention right to it and thanks to Shy for posting the link originally of course :)  O0
