How much do the artists of the New Wave movement owe at least some influence to Bowie? So many artists seem to attribute their style to the Glam Movement. Especially the New Romantics.

Anybody else here a big Bowie fan? From my experience most more-than-casual-fans of Bowie tend to have an intense passion for the man, its almost like a religion. I know it is for me.

Bowie was great up until Scary Monsters, but I can never forgive him for the mindless "Let's Dance". What a sell out! Serious moonlight? More like Serious Moola!!

Yes, Lets Dance was a sellout. But still, I think its quite a good album - Modern Love, Cat People, Criminal World. Yes its silly pop, but its fun and synthy. I also think it had a pretty good tour (serious moonlight tour) going along with it. Unlike the

Hey! Scary Monsters is David Bowie's finest hour. Let's Dance is pure dogshit, I agree- but Bowie's 1980 album Scary Monsters.You can't talk shit about an inovated album as this. In a fucked up way Scary Monsters sums up the Berlin Trilogy...Gold...

In my book, David Bowie is his own ethereal genre. Brilliant & Tweaked: The best combo!
Hunky Dory was the soundtrack of my childhood (Kooks esp.)
Mind you, I revere the man, but...am I the only one that remembers his duet with Mick Jagger in '85? Thei

Dancing in the street is DOGSHIT at it's worst. But then again, Bowie lost it in '83 and have given us shitty records ever since. Not to mention the "Tonight" album...aaargh! Gimme "Book of Days" by the Furs instead...(it's pure sadness, pure sadness!!)

Yeah, I haven't seen a good Bowie concert in years but don't hold this against his past greatness. The last concert I saw was him with Tin Machine on a (1989?) Saturday at Dodger Stadium. Everybody there thought it was the most horrid spectacle we'd ever
