From Bowie to Gaga: a brief look at the history of glam rock

[DeanWinchester 41,390]

CBC includes Gaga among notable artists of glam rock.

Simon Reynolds' new book, Shock and Awe, details the history of glam rock, a musical genre and style stemming from the early '70s and marked by an outlandish, eye-catching aesthetic. From pioneers like David Bowie and T-Rex to a modern day artist like Lady Gaga who draws from those artists, glam rock has been an influential force in music.

Gaga has been mentioned. Her portion is unclear if praise or not. Take it what you will.

"She almost studied the history of glam and later glam influences, and tried to do a modern day version of that. The music is not as interesting or as varied as what Bowie did or what Roxy Music didl; it's sort of efficient electronic-pop. She even called it 'soulless electronic pop' with a kind of wink to Andy Warhol and the idea that plastic and surface-deep is cool."

She's never called her music soulless.  She was always saying that electronic music has soul too. lol

Queen of being dragged while being praised.
