Suzi Quatro/Rock an Glam Rock

this was her best single imho

I've loved "Can The Can" for so many years, and had NO FECKIN' CLUE what 99% of the words were until I just now looked them up: (online lyrics sites often have an error or three, but these look to be pretty much correct? I think?)

Well you call your mamma tiger
And we all know you are lying
And your boyfriend's name is eagle
And he lives up in the sky (high high)
Watch out the tiger don't go claw the eagle's eye
But let the eagle take the tiger by surprise
Scratch out her eyes
So make a stand for your man, honey
Try to can the can
Put your man in the can, honey
Get him while you can
Can the can
Can the can
If you can
Well can the can
Well your sister's got the feline touch, she touches up your mind
And your eagle lover likes his little bit of evil loving all the time
Don't let the cat get into the eagle's nest at night
Because the eagle could say "yes" without a fight
Scratch out her eyes

Antone ever heard her brother Michael's really bad prog records?

great great cover.
bloody brilliant album.
and not what i expected having grown up as a young'un watching 'happy days'

yeah i should pull that out! got a lot of spins when i first picked it up, years and years ago. good meat-n-potatoes stuff with a glam-stomp sheen. i love how the back cover hypes the professional songwriters, something you'd think would have gone out with the monkees and certainly wouldn't be the pitch of these beer-guzzling, muttonchops-and-leather rockers. besides the singles, "shine my machine," "official suburban superman" and "glycerine queen" are standouts. i remember my roomate thinking the latter was "Mystery In Queens" - they're on the case! the beatles cover is kinda lame IIRC.

cd reissue has all the singles/b-sides of this albums campaign, so, its even more insanely good.

this is so much more fun than i ever expected.

"good meat-n-potatoes stuff with a glam-stomp sheen" : exactly

Chinnichap delivers

There's a new CD with Suzi and a guy from Sweet and a guy from Slade. Have not heard.

The best overall glam-rock compilation I own, and has proven to be the PWN3r of mid 70s glam is this really cheaply done 2-CD released on Repertroire called Dynamite! - The Best Of Glam Rock. The cover is just fucking godawful. It makes worse use of rainbows than the worst K-Tel compilation from 1976, or the worst Atari 2600 cartridge. And there's a gloved hand holding a fake colored glittered paper mache stack-o-dynamite on it, using tin foil as the sparkles. Yes, we're talking almost-as-bad-as-Cleopatra levels here.
But it fucking rocks.

It's got the best Quatro, Angel, Kongos, Cozy Powell, Sweet, Heavy Metal Kids, Chris Spedding, Wizard, and Gary Glitter tracks one can hope for on a single release.

best ILM advise ever.
ordered and now on.
bloody brilliant stuff.

That "Dynamite" comp is quite the thing, all the tracks I know are great which means the handful I don't must be great too!

Also, thirteen years on and the supplied amazon link still works!

Do like a bit of glam. Remember the more chartworthy stuff from the time, despite being a small child at the time. THink I watched TOTP semi religiously and got to see Disco 45 regularly.
JUst been rediscovering the stuff over the last few years . PIcked up bits of Slade, Sweet,Alice Cooper and a few of those Junk Shop Glam compis including All The Young Droogs.

Don't really like the fashion overmuch, prefer the earlier mod/psych/turn of the 70s stuff. & influences thereon.
