don't forget inspiring TR to get clean. among other things.

everyone needs a friend like him.

Not the most successful quality or popularity wise to be honest, but he surely will be among the 100 or so most important people in music history for the next hundred years.

>>74650255
Yes. Few musical artists can balance quality and popularity like he did. The Beatles are similar, though they didn't have the reaching out into other genres that Bowie did nor the long length of his career. I'm not even that much of a Bowie fan personally, but I can see him for what he is/was.

>>74650255

He didn't do Heroin, just coke.

His performance in Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence is severely underrated in most circles. Much like that movie in general. He's phenomenal in it.
>>
>>74652750
He's British, can't help it
>>
>>74653426

Not to mention his fantastic performance in The Man Who Fell To Earth. And let's be honest, Labyrinth is shit without him.
>>
>>74653426

Agreed.

Also his performance of The Elephant Man on broadway is amazing from the snippets I've seen, he didn't have any make up on either.
>>
>>74650255
>Is he the most successful musicians ever?

That would probably be Bob Dylan

>>74654407

>forgetting Aladdin sane

You must live on your back
>>
>>74652431

Every film he was in was elevated simply because of him. Especially Zoolander.

Anybody else hate Bowie?
Can't stand his voice and his stupid gimmicks.
>>
>>74655594

No
