BBC 3 Most Annoying People of 2008. No 24: Gary Glitter

Most Annoying Person was a British television programme that was broadcast on BBC Three from 27 December 2006 to 26 December 2011, and was usually shown each year during the end of December. The show counted down the 100 "most irritating" people, with celebrities, pop stars, and politicians all in the running.

Annoying is a bit of an understatement

[@SundaeRoast]

I can't imagine how annoying the top 23 were if Glitter was only at no. 24!

"Well, did you miss me?"
"Can't say we have..."
Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

[@SundaeRoast]

Yet he still gets played at the Super Bowl and in Joker movies. What does that tell us about Americans?

[@mjh5437]

Tells us they`re not such wet PC farts as the Brits

[@archibaldcabebe6062]

Universal Music Publishing owns the US rights to the song.

The king of Glam Rock will always be Alice Cooper

[@CartersRemasters]

It's so clearly Marc Bolan.

@@SundaeRoast well I'd rather it was Cooper rather than Glitter regardless of geography

[@TobiasReturns]

@@SundaeRoast I didn't say that. I was suggesting between the two who I'd rather claim a respectable title given you were claiming nothing outside of Britain can be called glam despite the parallels between Cooper, New York Dolls, Sparks, Suzi Quatro and Transformer era Lou Reed and how much more respect they should be acknowledged in comparison to a paedophile regardless if he wrote several good songs at that time

[@TobiasReturns]

@@SundaeRoast I don't disagree. I was just saying for the sake of spitting bile towards Mr Glitter that regardless of geography, certain people who were dressing up at that time who might not be from Britain or not fall under that category but share similar aesthetic should get more respect than a man who tried to rape an 8 year old
