In an article today on the Classic Rock Magazine website, Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott discusses some of his favorite nuggets from the Glam Rock era; an era that - although viewed as quite disposable at the time - ended up having massive influence on punk rock, and even the hard-rock era of the late 70s and 80s.
One of Elliott's favorites is "Baby I Love You, Ok" by the fleetingly popular band Kenny. As described by Elliott:
"Kenny were a completely manufactured band – in a way, they were like Milli Vanilli. But they had a few hits. I remember The Bump and Fancy Pants being absolutely massive. And Baby I Love You, OK! has got everything that a glam rock song should have – the Beach Boys harmonies, the Sweet guitars, the handclaps. It’s simply a great pop song full of big, loud, distorted guitars."
For your listening pleasure, a slice of pure 70s Glam goodness. Enjoy!
