A Guardian, Sunday Times, Mojo, Daily Telegraph and Observer Book
of the Year Longlisted for the Penderyn Music Book Prize 2017 As
the sixties dream faded, a new flamboyant movement electrified the
world: GLAM! In Shock and Awe, Simon Reynolds explores this most
decadent of genres on both sides of the Atlantic. Bolan, Bowie,
Suzi Quatro, Alice Cooper, New York Dolls, Slade, Roxy Music, Iggy,
Lou Reed, Be Bop Deluxe, David Essex -- all are represented here.
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. 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.
