David Bowie

[paulie walnuts]

Everything up to Let's Dance is sound, everything since is shite.

[L19red]

starman, life on mars, rebel rebel, golden years, heroes, ashes to ashes.

 

Can go wrong with early bowie.

[Sut]

Yay.

never a truer word spoken.

He hardly put a foot wrong between hunky dory and scary monsters(I hate

Diamond Dogs though too much coke).

Diamond Dogs is a fine album, "Sweet thing-Candidate- Sweet Thing (reprise)" being it's nadir, "We are the dead" is awesome also, the man is a genius, it's also a myth that anything since the 70's is shite, sure he lost his way in the mid to late 80s but his last three albums have been fine works, he's also brilliant live.

[Vincent Vega]

I love Bowie, what a great voice, his 70's stuff was pretty much faultless. I saw him at Maine Road in 1990, about 3 weeks after I'd been to watch the Stones and Bowie's performance was far superior. James in support too, a great day.

[rb14]

No and thrice no. He is a complete cunt.

 

I'll accept that in his early years he put out some awesome songs with incredible imagination. Hunky Dory is astonishingly good, and there are plenty of other great songs and albums but...

 

...he's a twat. A smug, self-serving twat who uses big words to try and look good.

 

He needs his face punching.

[Woo]

Definately a yes from me.

 

His early stuff was absolutely brilliant.

[Thants]

Where's the poll you sad little fat man?

Of course.

[JMARKH]

Seen him twice, once when he headlined Glastonbury although I was pretty wasted so couldn't remember much of gig so the next time I went to see him at the Manchester move festival at Old Trafford cricket ground I made sure I didn't have a drink and the gig was ace, a definite yes from me.

[Boomerang]

Early stuff a definate yay.

[aladdinsane]

I'll repaste what I said in another thread.

 

David Bowie 1969-1980 is in fact the greatest artist of all time. 12 albums in 11 years and every single one arguably a classic. On top of that playing and producing on some classic albums by other artists at the same time. Doesn't get much better.

 

 

And he's one smooth bastard

 

 

*To be fair, a lot of his stuff since the 90's/00's is also very good. His standards were ridiculously high in the 70's though, so his recent stuff always gets compared far too negatively. Heathen is a brilliant album.

Every single word bang on the money.

[Fink]

Massive Yay for music

 

Massive Nay for acting

[3 Colours Red]

No doubt, a musical genius. Not only that, his guest appearance on Extras was a classic.

Heathen is a great album! One of his best i think.

 

Reality is another good one but lacks something. Hours could and should of been better.

 

Definitely a Yay from me. Love some of his songs and he was brilliant in Extras :D

Heathen is actually one of my favourite Bowie albums. Love every track on it.
