Bowie wasn't bad, he had some great songs, but I see what you mean. Its like you're "supposed" to like him to have le public reassurance/circlejerk of good taste. Its all formulaic.

Bowie was alive for all the prime years of rock, if you like rock music, or music, he has something for you. Not only that but he was handsom as fuck, was really good at fashion, art, theater, and had multiple personas and eras.
You could spend hours on a regular musician.
You would have to spend months on bowie

>some great songs
I would disagree. Ziggy Stardust, Heathen and 1. Outside are great albums.

>>74877545
bad bait

>>74877545
ah that's horseshit.

His alien-themed stuff alone was Godly.

Station to Station and the Berlin trilogy are the only things of worth he has ever produced.

He raped a kid

isn't that track from like '64 or something?

See: style over substance

Being le eclectic art man doesn't make your music any better or more interesting

>>74877970
it also doesn't make your music worse

>>74877970
1. Outside has a pretty interesting concept if you are looking for substance.

>>74877732
00's bowie was really underrated, he wanted to be neoclassical bowie, and the whole aesthetic was sort of eyes wide shut meets silent hill.
Really captured a zeitgeist in an era when people have a hard time searching for something

>>74877980
Nope, but being popular on this board means your music is bad. I left this fucking board for the ecessive contrarianism

Bowie made a concept album about a dystopian future where artists consider murder to be art.
A lot of his albums actually have stories and lore and characters in them.

ziggy stardust is about: The album presents the vague story of a rock and roll character called Ziggy Stardust,[9] the human manifestation of an alien being who attempts to present humanity with a message of hope in the last five years of its existence. Ziggy Stardust represents the definitive rock star: sexually promiscuous and wild in drug intake, but with a message of peace and love. He is destroyed both by his own consumptions, and by the fans he inspires

>better whatsoever than current modern pop music
But that's a mere sign of the times

What happened? Did he get Rick Roll'd?

>>74878208
yes thank you!
Bowie did make great albums with amazing storylines ( including Heathen and Blackstar ). Also, songs from The Next Day are based on very interesting stories.
Musically and artistically Bowie has left a mark.

>It meant absolutely nothing to me. It didn't make me feel good. I felt dissatisfied with everything I was doing, and eventually it started showing in my work. Let's Dance was an excellent album in a certain genre, but the next two albums after that [Tonight and Never Let Me Down] showed that my lack of interest in my own work was really becoming transparent. My nadir was Never Let Me Down. It was such an awful album. I've gotten to a place now where I'm not very judgmental about myself. I put out what I do, whether it's in visual arts or in music, because I know that everything I do is really heartfelt. Even if it's a failure artistically, it doesn't bother me in the same way that Never Let Me Down bothers me. I really shouldn't have even bothered going into the studio to record it. [laughs] In fact, when I play it, I wonder if I did sometime
