Maybe stupid question

I don't know why this thread pisses me off, but it does.

That said, T-Rex is ESSENTIAL if you want to get a handle on glam.

And fuck jazz. It has NOTHING to do with Rock 'n' Roll.

Funny enough, a few hours ago he mentioned that the sound that I should be going for is something like toggling between T-Rex on one hand and Souxsie and the Banshees on the other.  He also made the suggestion that I make it sound like a train wreck, but I had a more difficult time figuring out what he meant by that.

[East Coast Hustle]

Seems to me that crossing T-Rex with Siouxsie would pretty much sound like a train wreck by default.

In a good way.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

ive been hoping to work with this guy for some time. Hes an odd one, but that sort of odd that makes you like him instantly.

Daniel's show is truly befuddling.  And truly AWESOME.

For glam, Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" album is good, especially "Five Years" and "Rock n Roll Suicide".

Of course, T Rex

Early Roxy Music.

The soundtrack for "Velvet Goldmine"

For Siouxsie, The albums Kaleidoscope, Juju, and A Kiss in the Dreamhouse should do you good.

Velvet goldmine- that was the one where oscar wilde was a gay alien and his jewelry made people famous yeah?

Yup.  Also, best gay love triangle ever: Christian Bale, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and Ewen McGregor.  RAWR.

I remember that movie making more sense with the second viewing. Coolness.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

T-Rex is so fucking cool that The Who saw the need to tip their hats to them.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

I only heard of them yesterday but i imagine its one of those deals that i heard them before i just didnt know who they were.

Unless you grew up in a cave, you've heard "Bang a Gong".

T-Rex is so fucking cool that even my Dad liked them.

I FUCKING LOVE THAT SONG!!!!

Fair enough.

I get into arguments all the time about how much of House music is actually derived from The Blues as well. People can't put together how "Red House" (Hendrix) relates "Don't Leave Me This Way" (Thelma Houston) and how that takes you to a lot of the Classic House music of the late 80s - 90s with the soulful "Black Diva" vocals until I put it to them that way.

HUhhhhhhhh??

I mean it's not entirely incorrect, but House in general got their inspiration from *everywhere*, which proves how it was new stuff, by reinterpreting the old stuff, which, afaik every "movement" has done in some way or another.

Just check Eat Static (I know you have ) they did everything! Not entirely sure if they actually did DnB before it got big, but their "timetraveller" theme on their albums is not entirely inaccurate.

See Love Truncheon, they even did Ricky Martin a decade before Ricky Martin did! (and they were so kind to leave out the vocals as well!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiXl5DFVBIM

Hmm.  Ok, I know this is shakey ground, but those "Black Diva" voices you hear are, for the large majority, influenced more by gospel than by blues.  Especially Ms Thelma.  You may want to rethink your thesis, and start with Aretha rather than Jimi.
