I love David Bowie. He is my favorite male popular musician (more so than Prince and Michael Jackson ).

Who on the Org is a fan of David Bowie? What is your favorite album?

If it is permissible to worship a popular musician, I would choose David Bowie.

InsatiableCream said:

When did you become a fan of his music? Which song drew you to the genius of Bowie?

Rodya24 said:

like a year ago. Under Pressure and China Girl made me an obsessed fan

wut about u?

hard to pinpoint a favorite song from him, depends on what phase in his career im in the mood for. But "Boys Keep Swinging" is definitely somewhere towards the top, especially the video, and the SNL performance of the song.

There are lots of Bowie fans here.

My favorite Bowie album is Scary Monsters.

Here are my top 10 Bowie albums, and their positions on my all-time albums list!

Scary Monsters (26)
Aladdin Sane (33)
Earthling (43)
Low (47)
Ziggy Stardust (51)
Heathen (81)
Station to Station (89)
Lodger (96)
"Heroes" (102)
Hunky Dory (151)

China Girl --

I became a fan a couple of years ago. David Bowie is an obsession. Ziggy Stardust made me a fan for good.

Moonbeam said:

love him, but i haven't dug to deep into his music. i only know the songs grouped into the 'greatest hits', my favorite so far is china girl and lady grinning soul.

Moonbeam said:

Cool!

BTW, you have an all-time albums list? No David Bowie in your top ten?

What are in your top ten?

You don't have a soul if you don't like Bowie.




There I said it!

Moonbeam said:

Janet Jackson and Madonna BEFORE David Bowie?



I am in pain.

Rodya24 said:

Yup- Rhythm Nation and Like a Prayer were 2 of the first albums I ever owned and loved.

Moonbeam said:

OK. Makes sense.

At least Bowie has 16 albums in your list.

Rodya24 said:

Indeed! It's kind of hard to dethrone the albums that were integral in getting me into music. I didn't really get into Bowie until I was about 20 or so.

I am the David Bowie fan.

pretty much the same here. i've been wanting to get a good collection but am unsure. i've been meaning to for a couple years now..but i'm hoping to find something like an "essential" collection.

my all time favourite though is "i'm afraid of americans"

CHIC0 said:

Like Michael Jackson's back catalog, David Bowie's has been released over and over again. I suggest you check out the compilations on Amazon.com. "Best of Bowie" comes to mind.

Rodya24 said:

yeah i almost bought that one. along with the dvd. but a few Bowie-heads advised against it. i've given up at this point.

I'm Afraid of Americans is one of my favorite songs of all time. The remixes were sick. Fame was nice also.
