crimson "I remember seeing him and not knowing if he was a man or a woman and still being so turned on."

A girl in my English class pronounces his name "David Bow"
I wanted to kick her ass when she said it.

grendel Earthling was good, as was Heathen (two of three most recent)

his band Tin Machine in the late 80s was good as was Scary Monsters and about half of Let's Dance

but yes, his most easily recognizable and arguably best works were all primarily in that 1969-79 period

an odd song of his i like is from the Cat_People soundtrack that was done with him and the master of quasi-campy dance-pop, Giorgio Moroder

They're quite aware
of what they're going through."

melted plastic i think "outside" is underrated. even if it is pretty bloated and spotty in parts, i think "a small plot of land" and "the motel" are two of the best things bowie's done. the first has this sinister, graveyard jazz, scott walker-via-sinatra-on-seconal thing going on, while "the motel" is a creepy universe unto itself, again with an audible scott walker influence.

apparently bowie was as affected by "night flights", "climate of hunter" and "tilt" as walker was by "low".

it's also worth mentioning "the idiot", bowie's 1977 collaboration with a ravaged iggy pop. it isn't clear whether iggy played drums and bowie played everything else, or if bowie's band of the time was coaxed into moonlighting as iggy's, but the result is some kind of disturbing, lobotomized electro-sleaze. coincidentally, it's also easily the best thing iggy's done outside of the stooges. not recommended listening for anyone suicidally depressed, however...

it seems "the idiot" was last thing ian curtis listened to before hanging himself.

Keil I liked Labyrinth
"Where anything seems possible and nothing it what it seems."

I also liked Major Tom. I think that was the name. I was really young when I first heard it, but I still really liked it.

major tom bowie has two Major_tom songs "Space_Oddity" and "Ashes_to_ashes"

Some guy in the early 80's (Peter Schilling, I believe) borrowed the Major Tom concept and did a more new-wave-dance-pop take on the concept of "Space Oddity"

Keil Thats right! thanks! I had forgotten. Thanks! Now I have to find a copy of the song so that I can revel in the old-timey goodness. 061010
