too punk to drunk
Glitter was the pioneer of UK glam outrageouness, but Numan was far behind. Reagrdless of their image and notriety, both produced some of the truly weirdest and artful MAINSTREAM UK music of the moderne-era IMHO.

heavy heavy monster sound
Yup, seconded, and if asked to choose between the two, it'd be hard, but I think Glitter would win it on eschatological grounds with reference to the child porn and 'Do You Wanna Touch', though Numan's references to cottaging on the early Tubeway Army stuff, if following that logic, would suggest that a sex offence may only be a heartbeat away. Which would even them up.

The Numanoid was what was missing from the 'Music war' (now 2 threads ?) vid i saw ...
I got to give creds to Numan for what he did for UK then US pop (and hiphop) bk then,
Glitter too for the forever songs with the aftermath of high time kiddie scandals being a bit (hopefully) after the fact ...
Glitter's song a staple of US sports cheers
Not really a fair question tho' (as often the case), like comparing apples and peaches
One did this , one did that ...
