->'''Narrator''': Getting the new tribes onside was more than a challenge. Part-time musician Greg Macainsh decided to make a student film about the toughtest crowd of all: Melbourne's Sharpies. He seemed to learn nothing from the exercise, and took his new glam band right into the lions' den.
->'''Greg Macainsh''': We were all wearing makeup, and I was wearing some hideous lurex sort of jumpsuit, and we thought we were definitely not gonna get out of their alive, surrounded by Sharpies, but we sort of won them over.
->'''Narrator:''' This was a weird new Australia: Plenty of glitter, an ex-surfie singer named Shirley, a crossdressing, cranky guitarist, and a weird name: ''Music/{{Skyhooks}}''. But it was their attitude that had the biggest impact: They took nothing seriously, including themselves."''

As mentioned above, glam rock was primarily popular in the UK, where the genre was split into three subgenres. For the artistically-inclined listener there was the artsy stylings of Music/DavidBowie in his Ziggy Stardust persona and ''Music/{{Transformer}}''-era Music/LouReed, the bombastically operatic art rock of early Music/{{Queen}} and Music/{{Sparks}}, and the jazzy synth-trickery of Music/RoxyMusic (as well as Roxy Music alum Music/BrianEno's early solo work). Beloved by teenagers were the straight-up rock and roll acts such as [[Music/MarcBolan T. Rex]], Gary Glitter, Music/MottTheHoople and Showaddywaddy. Finally, there were harder rocking groups like Slade, Music/{{Sweet}}, and the later works of Music/{{Queen}}, whose fusion of pop-melodies with loud guitars and drums would be a significant influence on HairMetal ten years later.

* Music/{{Queen}} (probably one of the most persistent stalwarts of the movement, continuing and modernizing it even after its heyday had long since passed by updating it to fit changing trends in popular music)
