I've had interest in him but never got into his discography. I recently watched this thing on tv, Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (it was a recorded show), and I was really blown away by their sound, although I didn't recognize really any songs save for Space Oddity. Wat do

Tell me your favorite genre of music and I'll give you a Bowie rec based on it.

Best avoid. Especially if you're under 40

Hmm well my favorites are punk and psych rock, but my favorites I've heard from Bowie are Space Oddity, Life on Mars, and Rebel Rebel.

Don't listen to most of theservice faggots
The agreed-upon entry album is The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spider From Mars for good reason
It's fucking awesome and will make you want more

If you like punk/hard rock try out the man who sold the world, if you haven't yet. That's a mostly hard rock and metal influenced album.

If you like hip hop go with some of his 90s work. Black Tie White Noise has a lot of hip hop sound with its drum machines and brass

Listen to Heathen. One of his later albums. A lot of nice experimental rock-heavy instrumentation.

There's no fucking way that's not a fake genre.

What if I like prog rock.

I'm torn between Man Who Sold the World and Hunky Dory. Prog rock seems like a harder genre so go with Man first, then try Hunky
Samples of both:

Don't force yourself to enjoy an artist. This is a nonsensical tradition.

No problem, man. :)
