Listening Theme 28 – 70’s Glam Rock (Revisited)
Hi all,
About this time last year (the exact date lost in the mists of time) I had my very first Listening Theme – 70’s Glam Rock. It lasted a few days and only resulted in a couple of recommendations. I thought I’d mark this 1st anniversary by revisiting the theme.
With more of you taking part now and with the themes also appearing on songbookhighway.com plus the fact that I’ve discovered more sites to listen to music online I thought I can delve a bit deeper and hear some albums that I might not have known about a year ago.
So, what shall I listen to? Suggestions please.
Cheers, Paul
You probably already have these:
“Starman” from David Bowie’s Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars album
“Satellite of Love” from Lou Reed’s Transformer album
“Bohemian Rhapsody” from Queen’s Night at the Opera album
