Glam Rock Albums Through The Ages

[blackleatherbookshelf]

Adam Lambert has been the topic of much discussion about his album cover for the forthcoming "For Your Entertainment."

I have the feeling that most of the youngsters creeped out are of such a tender age as to not remember such seventies covers as these:

Daryl Hall & John Oates, 1976

 

David Bowie, 1975

Montrose (featuring Sammy Hagar!), 1973

 

Mr Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo himself, Rick Derringer, 1975

Lambert's cover immediately drew mixed reactions from fans, but Lambert spoke up in defense of the heavily airbrushed image."Thank you to those who appreciate and understand that the album cover is deliberately campy," Lambert wrote. "It's an homage to the past. It IS ridiculous. For those that don't get it: oh well...Glad to have gotten your attention," added Lambert. "Androgyny.... is Rock n Roll."
