(REAL NAME)   
 
Drama of Exile
1.  Drama of Exile by Nico
The list author says:
  "Nico's 'rock' album. Not as good as the Cale produced/arranged stuff, but the most danceable. Great stuff from the original Glam-Goth Factory Punkette."
Used & New from: £68.05

Vienna
2.  Vienna by Ultravox
The list author says:
  "No, it's not John Foxx anymore, but it has its moments, particularly the ass-kicking Conny (Krautrock supremo) Plank production and defiantly pretentious New Romantic sentiments."
£3.99   Used & New from: £2.64
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)

Visage
3.  Visage by Visage
The list author says:
  "First track great - but then with a band that was half Magazine half Ultravox it would be. But then Steve Strange revealed that like Spandau and Duran, hewanted to be a Pop Star, not a True Glamster."
£2.99   Used & New from: £0.80
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)

Guillotine Theatre: +DVD
4.  Guillotine Theatre: +DVD by Cuddly Toys
The list author says:
  "Yes, they were sometimes crude, but they believed in Glam with all their hearts. 'Madman' is the only Bowie/Bolan track to ever make official release and 'Join The Girls' rules!"
£19.86   Used & New from: £8.00
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Gentlemen Take Polaroids
5.  Gentlemen Take Polaroids by Japan
The list author says:
  "Subtelty is king. amid the Glam-Pop of Adam Ant et al and the Ziggy-esque proto-Goth of Bauhaus, Japan reminded us of Bowie and Roxy while being utterly unique too."

4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (15 customer reviews)

Floodland: Remastered and Expanded
6.  Floodland: Remastered and Expanded by The Sisters Of Mercy

Dog Man Star (Deluxe Edition)
7.  Dog Man Star (Deluxe Edition) by Suede
The list author says:
  "Britpop was all a bit too Mod with Blur and Oasis doing the handbags bit. Suede resurrected the Ronson guitar sound and broke all our hearts. Majestic!"

4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (28 customer reviews)

Generation Terrorists
8.  Generation Terrorists by Manic Street Preachers

4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (42 customer reviews)

Your Arsenal
9.  Your Arsenal by Morrissey
The list author says:
  "How could I forget Stephen? Bowie ansd Bolan references, Ronno produces, sexual ambiguity, supposedly right-wing posturing. One of the few 80s figures with 70s style stage presence."

4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)

His 'N' Hers
10.  His 'N' Hers by Pulp

4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (18 customer reviews)

Attack Of The Grey Lantern
11.  Attack Of The Grey Lantern by Mansun

Supernature [Limited Edition CD + DVD]

The Fame
13.  The Fame by Lady Gaga

Overpowered
14.  Overpowered by Róisín Murphy

Hands
15.  Hands by Little Boots
The list author says:

4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (66 customer reviews)

Fuzzy
16.  Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
The list author says:
  "Now here's an oddity - almost Glam Country Rock. 'Jupiter and Teardrop' is 'Moonage Daydream' as covered by Gram Parsons. Cool!"

5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Velvet Goldmine
17.  Velvet Goldmine by Carter Burwell

The Golden Section
19.  The Golden Section by John Foxx

The Quiet Man
20.  The Quiet Man by John Foxx
