1970's "Glam" Rock Era

The "glam" era of Rock n' Roll consisted of talented musicians with a twist on performance styles. The time period of glamorous musicians became the norm as artists were resorting to, thriving off of, and eventually expected to, be just as entertaining to watch as they were to listen to. For some artists, such as David Bowie and his reptilian appearance, and Identity Crisis who dressed in full drag, the glam trend became a lifestyle. Artists of the era were known not only for their glittering femininity while performing, but some bands had their classically constructed styles of writing music.
