the moment before goth became glam

Hi, Lately I've been loving what I call "music of 1987".

I'm thinking of bands like Flesh for Lulu, Lions and Ghosts, Love and Rockets (probably too big for this category) but also the Bolshoi and Mother Love Bone.

You can see precursors into both glam and grunge, but in 1987 neither had become huge international movements yet. I think it was also the moment before the release of GNR's Appetite for Destruction. Marc Bolan was a big influence on many of these, especially Love and Rockets.
