@Rotten_NOFXer well hard rock or glam METAL sure, but not glam rock. If anything I think modern bands with glam image (like Negative) should get a new label. Maybe "nu-glam" or something, lol.

@ sukehh: HCSS are the less glam ones, but I think Motley actually are hard rock but also glam, surely more glam than kiss and queen, and skid row too.

I personally believe T. Rex should be first, if it wasn't for him David Bowie wouldn't even be here.

Actually, it should be T. Rex, David Bowie and Roxy Music -- KISS don't belong here.

Only T. Rex are kings of glam rock,then KISS and David Bowie defined this genre,Queen don't have any influences of this genre.
