These are just the preliminary sketches of just a few of the lists I'm working on. Most obviously need to be filled in, all of them need review, and plenty more lists need to be started in the first place. I'm just looking for input at this stage. I'm working on glam rock ATM, and hope to have the battle officially up by Tuesday at the latest. Bear with me, I want to get this moving, but I don't like having half-assed lists that leave off important albums that I end up kicking myself over later.
* I'd have a lot more done, but I've been taking the last few days to transfer a ****load of files from my cloud drive to my new external hard drive, and it's kind of taking up most of my time and bandwidth.
Also, any suggestions of genres I'm leaving out would be appreciated. I've already realized I left ol' school rock'n'roll (e.g. Elvis, Chuck Berry, etc). Considering just how massive a genre rock is, I'm also wondering if I shouldn't include certain movements, like the British Invasion, on their own. I'm already doing krautrock after all (which is just artsy, German prog rock).
@
Urban Thanks for your glam suggestions. It gives me something to smugly point to when people complain about me putting Motley Crue on the same list as Lou Reed. Still making my way through a bunch of those albums though, as they're moderately hard to find.
BTW, I always thought of glam rock as more of an arty thing (Bowie and Roxy Music), but I never knew just how much a lot of it was rooted in straight-up blues. I don't know that I'll use them for glam, but The Sensational Alex Harvey Band could very well find themselves on the blues rock list.
