Good post

Do you realize that Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from Mars isn't the only album he's made? And by the way, 7/10 for effort.

I stopped reading after poor mans kraftwerk

>Poor man's Kraftwerk
What did OP mean by this? I heard NOTHING that resembles Kraftwerk in his Ziggy phase. Poor man's Lou Reed perhaps but where you getting' Kraftwerk from?
>Low budget sci-fi children musical aesthetics lyrics and music
I KNEW there was a reason why I was so strongly drawn to David Bowie and the whole Ziggy Stardust gimmick when I was just a wee lad of nine!
>Star Trek alien of the week image
Yeah right. Gene Roddenbury didn't have the creative wear withal to come up with a character like Ziggy Stardust. Not only had Star Trek been cancelled by the time David Bowie released Space Oddity even if the show had still been on the air I highly doubt Captain Kirk and his crew would've known what to do or how to act when meeting or being confronted by the great and powerful Ziggy Stardust.
>Mullet
Hey David Bowie made the mullet COOL for five hot minutes. I almost got one because of him.
Shut your fucking gob you hater!

Hop off Reed's dick, dude was a has-been before he was even famous.

m8 you don't have to like Reed to describe Bowie as the poor-man's Lou Reed (at least in the early 70s). It's pretty well known that Bowie admired him. Just listen to Queen Bitch, it's basically a Velvet Underground song.

Who are you referring to Lou Reed or David Bowie?
>Hop off Lou Reed's dick
Isn't that what Lou said to Dave after ripping off Andy Warhol's PORK?
>>70267929
Queen Bitch was the examples I was thinking of when I called David Bowie a pro man's Lou Reed. Just play that and Satellite of Love back to back.
>>70267986
Queen Bitch was actually a take off of an Eddie Cochran song, though I get your point about it sounding like Lou Reed.
