May 6, 200817 yr Honestly didn't know that about Chuck Berry. Never been a fan of Jackson, Foundations, Rollers, or R Kelly. The other Stones have never done anything like that (to our knowledge) and if Jagger or Richards had done it then I don't think I would listen any more. Also I think it becomes diluted if one member of a group has been involved. (Not one of the main songwriters that is)
May 6, 200817 yr I never liked his music anyways so makes no difference to me but if you can't buy Glitter records would you still listed if you were a fan ?? to : Chuck Berry (paid millions to women to avoid court action as a peeping tom who spied on women showering and using the toilet) Michael Jackson (paid millions to Jordi Chandler's parents) Foundations (one of the lead members convicted of similar offences to Glitter) Rolling Stones (Bill Wyman had a relationship with underage Mandy Smith) Bay City Rollers (one of their lead members convicted of child sex offences) Jerry Lee Lewis (married an under age girl) R Kelly (Arrested for sex offences) All those people are despicable but it would be hypocritical to say ban Glitter from a glam rock album then go home and put on a Michael Jackson album would be hypocritical yep.... thats the point i raised, what glitter and others did (or not proven) is as bad... you either vilify all offenders or none
May 6, 200817 yr I think it's down to personal choice. I cannot listen to Glitter now at all. The Stones I continue to listen to and if that makes me a hypocrite then well I am one. I don't listen to any of the others anyway.

May 12, 200817 yr Well, I like this Nicki Chinn & Mike Chapman Glam Rock Song too. It was a 1974 No.8 UK Hit for The Arrows:, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttDp7v2qQyI...feature=related Edited May 12, 200817 yr by zeus555
