Love him or hate him, pretty prolific artist. Just watched 5 years. Not bad. From working with Luther, Eno, Lennon, Reznor, Townsend etc... Pretty good career what era do you like? |

Definitely an icon. Many great albums/songs. Reached out to Lorde to tell her she is picking up where he left off (or words to that effect, or members of Words To That Effect.) |

The Berlin trilogy is his best work, especially Low, and especially-especially "Subterraneans" and "Be My Wife." Ziggy Stardust is the one album of his golden era (to say "years" would have been lame) that I don't really like. |

To me, Ziggy is his best record. Also, his work on Lust For Life, which really comes off as more of a Bowie record than an Iggy record. |

I like "Starman" and "Suffragette City," of course, but who doesn't? I just think Aladdin Sane improves on it quite a bit. Low, though, what a masterpiece. Station to Station is pretty much perfect, too. |

Pure genius. Here's a glimpse into his creative process. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q ... 5653,d.cWc Little fat man who sold his soul Little fat man who sold his dream Pathetic little fat man No one's bloody laughing The clown that no one laughs at They all just wish he'd die He's so depressed at being hated Fatso takes his own life He blows his stupid brains out But the twat would probably miss He sold his soul for a shot at fame Catchphrase and wigs and the jokes are lame He's got no style, he's got no grace He's banal and facile, he's a fat waste of space See his pug-nosed face Pug, pug, pug, pug See his pug-nosed face Pug, pug, pug, pug See his pug-nosed face Pug, pug, pug, pug The little fat man with the pug-nosed face Pug, pug, pug, pug Little fat man, pug-nosed face Pug, pug, pug, pug He's a little fat pug-nosed face Pug, pug, pug, pug |

Bowie certainly influenced the people he worked with. Mott the Hoople made three really great records- Mott The Hoople, All The Young Dudes, and Mott. The debut album, Mott the Hoople isn't something a lot of people are familiar with. It's like it was a different band before Bowie got hold of them and glammed them up on Dudes. Ian Hunter doing his best Dylan impersonation on a Sonny Bono cover!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gn8iNnPfQY |

Mott the Hoople: "Is that concrete all around, or is it in my head?" |

I think Bowie was the first artist to securitize his future royalties into a lump sum payment ($50m or something like that?). I can only assume that worked out great for him, as I think most artists are not getting much in the way of residuals these days. |
