Shock and Awe: Glam Rock and Its Legacy, fromSimon Reynolds
As the sixties dream faded, a new flamboyant movement electrified the world: GLAM! Bolan, Bowie, Suzi Quatro, Alice Cooper, New York Dolls, Slade, Roxy Music, Iggy, Lou Reed, Be Bop Deluxe, David Essex - all are represented here. In Shock and Awe, Simon Reynolds explores this most decadent of genres on both sides of the Atlantic.
Shock and Awe is a defining work and another classic in the Faber Social rock n roll canon to stand alongside Rip it Up, Electric Eden and Yeah Yeah Yeah. Reynolds charts the retro future sounds, outrageous styles and gender-fluid sexual politics that came to define the first half of the seventies and brings it right up to date with a final chapter on glam in hip hop, Lady Gaga, and the aftershocks of David Bowie's death.
