Living Colour and Glam

Was Living Colour ever considered Glam?

The band formed in 1984 and are certainly funk but they also have a definite metal side. I would think that being in the hard rock/metal genre during the 80s would mean that Glam rubbed off on them at least a little. The band also played with Guns n' Roses (among others)...and if you'll recall, even did Rocklahoma a couple years ago. So, did Living Colour ever get lumped in with the Glam scene? I'm looking for people older than me to answer this one. All I remember was the video for “Cult of Personality” played constantly right alongside all our other faves. Something to consider this early Spring Sunday.

Cool Video: David Gilmour and David Bowie Do 'Comfortably Numb'

We never talk about Pink Floyd around here. They are certainly not Glam, but they are a fantastic band - there's just no disputing that fact. Not so long ago, David Gilmour did a series of concerts of London's Royal Albert Hall. A DVD was released of those concerts called Remember That Night - Live at the Royal Albert Hall. Here's "Comfortably Numb." Trust me: watch the whole clip:

I can't wait to see your lists - I love it when the shuffle brings out really crazy mixes or songs you haven't heard in ages. Go on, get crackin'!
