Gary Glitter: Rock and Roll, Gary Glitter's Greatest Hits

Gary Glitter may have many personal problems with little boys, but the guy can make music that Rocks You. When I listen to Rock and Roll, Part 2, I imagine a jungle scene where a black panther creeps onto the unsuspecting prey. This is a great half time production for any High School Marching Band. And....I didn't know I loved her 'till I saw her Rock and Roll, takes me back to my sock hop dances in the gym. Five Star all the Way!

I THINK THIS CD ROCK AND ROLL IS PRETTY GOOD ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HERE PART TWO THESE TO SONGS A SUPPOSE BLEND TOGETHER AT THE DID ON THE ALBUM I HAD WHEN I WAS A LITTLE YOUNGER THAN I AM NOW....BUT GO AHEAD AND BUY IT IT'S PRETTY....

The ULTIMATE collection of GARY GLITTER.

Has a couple of hits. Cannot listen to it though because it reminds me of this guy being a child molester.

I wanted this for Rock and Roll. Both parts. The cover of "The Wanderer is worthy of Dion

Several good songs on this CD, especially Rock and Roll II. Classics from the birth of 70's and 80's rock.

This is quite possibly the best single album collection in print today. Glitters, "Many Happy Returns" album in the 1990s was better though, but that collection of his hit singles is no longer in print.Ignore the below reviewers who don't just judge the music. Also, I disagree with the person who said a compilation of various glam rock artists would serve better. That would just give a very brief overview of the glam rock genre. This album gives a good look into Gary Glitter's Great Hit's.Also I wonder if JediHobbitRockStar really knows what she is talking about in her review. She thinks she's some kind of Glam Rock expert, but she has several things wrong.I don't recall any artists saying they "left Glam rock" because of Glitter. If most of those acts thought Glitter was a joke then how come he was good friends with both David Bowie & Marc Bolan and shared offices with them in the 1970s? I think she is just trying to ram an opinion down people throats by using false and phony "information" that she made up as she was typing. Infact Glitter was very influential to music proved by the long list of acts who covered his songs - not just The Spice Girls, I notice she used them to try and sum up his fan base and influence by why didn't she mention Oasis, Generation X, etc, etc. She also fails to mention that Glitters music was - in the 1980s and 1990s - much more popular than most (and just as popular as any) of all the other 70s acts she tries to heap the praise on.She also tries to suggest that Glitter jumped on a band wagon on a new musical genre. Glam Rock wasn't anything new, the music was nothing that hadn't been done in the 50s and 60s and even the fashion wasn't new. "Glam Rock", be it Bolan, Bowie, or Glitter was a marketing tool for 1970s Rock N Roll and Gary Glitter had been cutting rock n roll records since the late-1950s. Another key point she also fails to include is that Gary was touring with all these other acts back in the 1960s, before they also found their fame (meaning he was their at the beginning and not just a man who later jumped in). Surley, if she knew anything about Glam Rock and it's history like she claims she would know this.Most of his hit's are on this collection. "Rock N Roll", "Leader Of The Gang", "Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again", you also get his version of "The Wanderer"!Hit after hit after hit, this is a first-rate album!

This album is not the best collection of Garys music, but it nevertheless contains many of the songs he placed on the UK charts between 1972 and 1980. One of the reasons I am doing this review is in response to below comment about Joan Jetts covers being better than Gary Glitters originals, not true.Gary Glitter did not leave a lot to be desired as a rock n roll star. While I respect the Joan Jett fan for saying that Glitters crimes had no effect on her view of his music, I would say that Gary was one of the finest rockers of the 20th century. Very few had his stage presence, even other glam rock acts of the time Alice Cooper and Kiss (two American acts of the 1970s) and The Sweet, came close at times, but Gary Glitter was the leader of the rock n roll gang and was the ultimate showman of the era.If you like rock music, then check this album out. Glitters influence in music can still be heard today, even if some wish not mention his name.
