maXx Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 have you heard much of his early stuff, quirky stuff? Massive talent, every character he created came from within his soul. Not some made up trendy gimmick. Not many like that. a master storyteller. rock2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanGenie Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Bowie is one of my favorite artists. Low and Station To Station are his masterpieces. But Outside was great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 NIN/Bowie tour...good memories. He never gets credit for changing the face of music and taking chances. He's the reason why Velvet Underground is namedropped in the first place. He saved Lou Reed from being his dad's gofer. "Transformer"? Listen to "Satellite of Love".... Bowie's vocals at the end take it into an awesome direction, plus playing the sax on "Walk on the Wild Side". My favorites - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r44OFO-MNPo...feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejJmZHRIzhY...feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qjTStVY6Hk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB. Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) don't start me on bowie, i was saving my virginity for him when i was 12 very fond memories, but i must say i have progressed.. have kids now lolAww.But that voice. That voice. Yeah the voice, it is kind of you know ....weird/hot/ difficult to explain.But I have to admit I only like his early work. It is strange and beautifull at the same time!

axlskAmpf Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) I have to admit, The Laughing Gnome is a masterpiece.HA! Yeah, I heard that in NYC for the first time at like 13, that was the city to hear it in! Bowie is a legend, such a wide and vast catalog of greatness. Low, as said, truly a wonder. The 'Ziggy/Pretty Thing/Life on Mars' days are my fav, if I had to pick an era. One of the best writers in rock history, great vocal prowess aside.

He found the Velvet Underground, and was so blown away by them. It could be argued that without VU, there would no Ziggy Stardust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna buy Low next time I'm in Glasgow though.You must listen to Low and Heroes, asap.Experimental albums, sound like film music, in places.Very ambiental , and thanks to Eno's involvement- electronic.Of course, it's got nothing to do with VU.

dirtylenny Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) The Idiot is a must for Bowie fans.Ahhh, now you're fuckin talkin my language :) Iggy Stooge baby, all day everytime!!On Topic: i'd be lying if i said i'd heard a lot of Bowie but i like what i've heard and i'd like to hear more not sure where to start though. Heard Starman and Jean Genie...they're really (how do i describe this?) sexy sounding? Genie more than Starman i mean.
