Desolation Boulevard

I thought that was SWEET.  I had to look it up.   BOWIE was the only real UK Glam act with significant USA success.  USA Glam acts usually tanked (JOBRIATH and BRETT SMILEY immediately come to mind).  You know your SWEET well.  I actually really like them but haven't got much.

 It's interesting to note that, despite the interchange of rock music which has crossed back 'n' forth The Pond down through the years, record charting of the two countries seems different to a noticeable extent.

Hell yeah.  It fascinates me, Glam Rock particularly since it was huge in the UK but spotty stateside... think BOWIE or SWEET and ROXY MUSIC or T.REX... spotty or little USA success.

...so can the can: 

What's fascinating to me was how that song sounds just like British Glam Rock of the early 70s... I listen to that type of Rock often.   I think the record was #1 there and elsewhere but tanked stateside.

Ray talks about fellow musician Alex Chilton discussing music

Fascinating.  I am a big ALEX CHILTON fan.  Not surprised RAY, another great songwriter, would also be.

I got a notice that someone responded to remarks I made nearly 10 years ago about this video... it was the orchestra leader who responded!

On the proverbial heels of some recent Fats Waller posts, you follow them up with a wide breadth of Led Zeppelin! 

Hope that's a good thing...! 😀

Perhaps not as visionary as LED ZEPPELIN (1969) nor as as dilettantistic as HOUSES of the HOLY (1973), "Led Zeppelin IV" is still possibly the Fearsome Foursome's finest 3/4 hour.

I love all of their records with only Coda being the one I listen to the least... even less (as in never) than LED ZEP's crowning achievement:  IV ... lots called it the "runes" album back in the day.    I like the first one best too, think the 2nd is "thee" classic LED ZEP,  III is maybe my 2nd favorite...  but probably listen to Presence most often...

Exactly. They're full of discontent (malcontents?) and they're goal is to stir up trouble.

As for Muller, we have reached the point where he is now just a TCM host trotting out what's in the TCM library.

He would probably like to show more Universal, Republic and Paramount noir. But I suspect his hands are tied budget-wise.

It is worth pointing out that these reactions do seem to be the modus operandi for this forum.  New members join and such people may be inspired to join because they have a complaint.  That does not make a complainer a troll.

(à la "hard" Country Rock songs by The Allman Brothers or The Marshall Tucker Band)

I think of them as Southern Rock which is not the same for me... 

POCO were good, they do sound like EAGLES of course...

that Bakersfield sound artists

I'd include RICK NELSON as a prominent name that was part of and influenced by the Bakersfield Sound.  Yeh, I've liked BUCK OWENS and MERLE HAGGARD as long as I liked great records.
