Who do you remember the most from the glam scene? I have to pick poison of course, if I didn't bad luck could fall upon me. I think after that it would be Bowie (love his voice) and Iggy.

NUMBER #1 : Sweet

NUMBER #2 : Motley Crue

NUMBER #3: White Lion

White Lion must have been the most under-rated of all the late 80s glam acts. The songwriting, musicianship, production, and delivery was absolutely superb. Their marketing was atrocious and robbed the band of the fame that they deserved.

Just my humble 2 cents,

Rock on,

Rock & roll over babe

Back in college the big album was Loverboy. They shot to the top and disappeared. Their music was everywhere in college at the time. I believe they also suffered from the lack of marketing and long term fame.

Off the top of my head Poison and Cinderella have both continued to maintain quite a name for themselves as has Bon Jovi(Albeit on a bigger scale).

Since the release of "The Dirt", the band has been known as one of the most decadent and self-destructive groups in rock music history.

I find that extremely entertaining, and now I know why so many call me crazy. See what happens after years of MC music? Remember if you go really old school, its Jon Bon Jovi, he has still been around off and on, but I think that MC has gotten more air time, at least in the states I have lived in.

Poison does come in close tops, but there are so many how can you really choose just three? What about Queen, Culture Club (we all know there was a little glam there) and Adam and the Ants. Those all come to mind when I hear glam, there is no way I could pick just one. Come on now, my mother finds it funny she named be Niki (Nicole really) and the love I have for glam, and always Mr. Sixx.

For me, its gotta be Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, and Queensryche. Out of the 3, I am still into 2 of them. Obviously Bon Jovi but I still dig Queensryche alot. I could probably write down all of Operation Mindcrime, did anyone ever see Operation Livecrime? If you never caught the show there is a DVD of it and it is AWESOME....I so regret not going to see it live, but I couldn't get the night off from work. I should have just quit LOL

Hard one...

KISS
Bowie
nup, can't choose, far too many...

If it's a general non-glam top three, then KISS, Manowar and Toilet Boys.
