By playing “select random stuff from my music base” I became recently reacquainted with 1970s Bowie. Quoth AMG on the artist:
Even when he was out of fashion in the ’80s and ’90s, it was clear that Bowie was one of the most influential musicians in rock, for better and for worse. Each one of his phases in the ’70s sparked a number of subgenres, including punk, new wave, goth rock, the new romantics, and electronica. Few rockers ever had such lasting impact.
Perhaps the most surprising is that some of The Man Who Sold the World is staggeringly catchy and usually I can point at a reason or two why. With Man I’m at a bit of a loss.
