Although one in England first to see Marc Bolan glamrocker, Alice Cooper almost certainly was the instigator of this movement. Except by wearing a girls name was Alice Cooper at the end of the 1960s on the outfits and makeup during his theatrical acts. On the cover of the first LP from 1969, "Pretties For You", is Alice depicted in a glitter dress. On the covers of the two successors: "Easy Action" (1970) and "Love it to death" (1971), the group is likewise depicted in glitter and "drag". Alice Cooper had a worldwide hit in early 1971 with the song "I'm Eighteen". A performance in England was reportedly visited by David Bowie and Elton John, who no doubt influenced by what they saw.

The English glam rock was first embraced by artists with a background in the folk-music or in art, such as David Bowie and Roxy Music's Brian Eno . The flow had thereby initially something elitairs. With the arrival of Gary Glitter, Slade, the Sweet and Mud that was quickly adjusted. ===America[ Edit] === The American glam rock was characterised especially by rock hard rock music. Exponents were next to Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and The New York Dolls. The acts were slowly becoming a more dark, Gothic look.
