We've covered Northern Soul & Mowtown, so how about Glam.
When somebody asks me for glam I nearly always use the same tracks:
Blockbuster - The Sweet
Tiger Feet - Mud
Beach Baby - First Class
What do you use for a glam set when the requester asks for some glam without specifying anything in particular.

To an incredibly repsonseful crowd, last night I played Wig Wam Bam and I Love to Boogie followed by Bye Bye Baby, Crazy Horses and Let's Stick Together.
I don't think the last three are Glam but they worked well in the set.

Not Glam at all
Try
Sweet: Ballroom Blitz, Little Willy, or Teenage rampage
T Rex: Hot love, Jeepster, or Get it on
Suzie Quatro: Can the can, Devil Gate Drive, or 48 Crash
Mud: Dyna-mite, or the cat crept in
Slade: Cum on feel the noize, Coz i luv u, of Mama weer all crazee now
Chicory Tip: Son of my father
Sailor: Glass of champagne
David Bowie: Jean Genie, Suffragette City, or Hang onto yourself
Roy Wood/Wizard/the Move: See my baby jive, Ball park incident, Tonight, or California man
Hello: Tell him
Doctor & the Medics: Spirit in the sky
Alvin Stardust: Jealous mind, Red dress, or My Coo ca choo
Showaddywaddy: Hey rock&roll
Mott the Hoople: All the way from Memphis, Roll away the stone, or All the young dudes
Still best to stear clear of Garry Glitter tho, but there's always the Glitter Band: Angel Face or Goodbye my love
You can get away with Crazy horses, Let's stick together & Bye bye baby, if you're going to play the Rollers try Shang a lang, & for Roxy Music, Virginia Plain
Will that do you?
EDIT: P.S. My Mum's got a Glam rock CD which for some bizzarre reason includes ADAM & THE ANTS!!!!!!!

I think between us that's a whole evenings set!
I think between us that's a whole evenings set!
I've got plenty of Glam CD's and tracks, as Im sure most of us have.
I was more interested in what everyone uses regularly if a customer asks for glam without specifying anything in particular.

Funnily enough, one of my glam CD's has Beech Baby on it, so somebody thinks it's Glam.
