I'm a huge fan of T-rex, David Bowie, Mott the Hopplem Velvet Underground ETC.

Tell me some modern day bands that are in this vein please.

Several bands you listed had more than one sound, evolving over the years. Specific periods?

Glam as a genre really produced very little quality music, most of it really was utter utter shite, this isn't a lack of impartiality on my part its just a sad truth:-\

Amateur Boyfriend has some Glam overtones and can be quite enjoyable.

by "hip," you mean in the pejorative sense synonymous with "retarded," yes?

When I was growing up, all my father listened to (so in turn I listened to) was Gary Glitter, T-Rex, Sweet, Slade, Mud, Suzi Quatro, Wizzard and others.

I've not heard much these days in the way of Glam Rock or anything comparable.

The Darkness kinda had a glam thing going, but I think they're already past the point of being relevant.

Kane Knight

They're also annoying. Or at least their vocalist is.
