as much as i hate to quote metallica, even lars classified motley crue as glam. which they were hair metal i agree. but the makeup and the outfits definately would classify them as glam. in my own opinion.

What no Alice Cooper or The Tubes on this list

This thread needs to be revamped, as there are a whole load of great artists who deserve to be checked out.

Bowie is the no-brainer, but he ditched the glam scene after diamond dogs. Second choice is Roxy Music, but I see them more of an art rock band/prog-band. The Dolls...what can you say about the Dolls other than they were great. Too Much Too Soon is one of my favorite records of all time. Not with standing all of this, I still voted for Mott the Hoople, which is the band I have the biggest soft spot for.

T. Rex (Marc Bolan) is like the Godfather of Glam Rock In my opinion. Bowie, Queen, Kiss, etc.
Motley Crue is my favorite "popular" glam rock band. A Good solid rock band.

That's super hard, I chose T. Rex. Then Bowie, Sweet, NYD.

Does Alice Cooper count?
