I already know where my 12 and 15 points are going, unless one of the songs I know is truly incredible.

I was wondering if anybody would dare to enter a Gary Glitter song

Some of my fave glam rock songs here, going to be very hard to decide my top 3!

This was the only round where I genuinely thought I could come first.. Now I think I may come about fourth.

I guess when you specified glam rock you didn't actually state the 1970s. Oh well someone mentioned MCR earlier in the contest and now we have My Chemical Romance in here, I just wasn't expecting them in this round, more likely the 00s round.
If someone had entered Gary Glitter, then provided it was one of his better songs I'd have voted for it, but it wouldn't have got my top score as there are songs in there I like more than anything Gary Glitter did.

Just personal but I think the artists above had many better tracks than the ones submitted!

I know I went for a personal favorite that maybe was their 3rd or 4th best song but I'm not playing to win, would be a bit weird, and the winner of the secret vote again, meeeeeee ha
Yeah when I devised this I wanted to showcase hits of the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and 00's in the last five rounds but when it came round to devising the contest and breaking it down into themed rounds the idea was Glam would represent the (70s ish) and Britpop (90s ish) although people were free to enter anything post 70s or in the case op Britpop something from the 00s although the good stuff is more confined solely to the 90s
Interestingly the 60's round in my head was originally classic British rock and 80's round electro rock but last minute I decided to just have the decade as a criteria instead

Just personal but I think the artists above had many better tracks than the ones submitted! I don't know if you are referring to artists whose careers spanned the glam rock era and more later. Maybe you think "Dance Away" is Roxy Music's best song, but it isn't glam rock, whereas the two songs up there are in that era and could pass as glam rock. Similarly if you think Let's Dance is David Bowie's best song, or Wind of Change as the Scorpions song. With T-Rex and The Sweet, all their music is glam (even T-Rex's 60s hits) so maybe you are referring to those.

Rebel Rebel and Starman are actually my 2 favourite ever Bowie songs. The only T. Rex which I think could be considered better than Children of the revolution is 20th Century Boy.

Voted. Like last time there were a lot of good songs but no doubt at all as to my 15 points.

Don't want to give too much away but there are some interesting mini battles going on between songs by the same artists
