Only flat earthers believe it was the nineties, although it's a proven fact that Liam Gallagher is a dick!

Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day :agree:
I don’t actually dispute that a few of Bowie songs could be described as self indulgent or crap, (the laughing gnome sucks the root as far as I’m concerned) but same goes for every artist Lennon, Marley, Dylan all wrote stinkers. It’s part of the creative process so almost passes without comment for me.
The greatest moment in pop history is the transition from the title song into Little Red Corvette on Prince's 1999 album.
The greatest Bowie moment is when the "it's not the side effects of the cocaine" section on the Station to Station song kicks in.
Well known facts.
Under pressure.
Bowie and Queen together what more would you need?
Bowie deserves genius status for this track alone. He did also produce some right old tosh though. :greengrin

Maybe my favorite Bowie song, he did do some great singles. :thumbsup:
I’m really into my music and was so fortunate to start going to gigs as a young teenager during early days of punk/new wave. Prior to that I was into Slade and Bowie.
I mind buying a cassette (Young Americans) from a strange wee 2nd hand shop opposite my school (Leithy). The tape reeked of fags and perfume which added to the vibe and I played it endlessly. For some reason his song ‘Changes’ on Hunky Dory really got its hooks into me . I still like it but when I was 14 it was the best song ever. I also mind the day soon after, when Bowie tickets arrived for the Glasgow Apollo gig in 1978. Excited beyond belief and when the gig happened and Bowie waked on stage it was unbelievable.The musical equivalent of seeing another David lifting the Scottish Cup
There was always something extra special about Bowie though. Can’t explain but to this day his music and the overall aura is the best for me Can’t stand the glass spider period though but he had to deviate into commercial pop in order to raise a few quid at that time. The fact he can even do this is pretty impressive.
Before lockdown I was in Brixton a lot. Used to walk past Bowie’s house on the way to work and always gave me a boost. I think his music and attitude will forever continue to inspire new bands and that’s the best accolade really.
Music is very subjective. I liked Bowie, a lot of music is about expressing yourself and Bowie certainly did that. But each to their own. I liked most of his stuff and don't really care if other people didn't. Even my favourite artists I didnt like every track they ever produced.
Bowie was amazing but the Beatles were superlative.

just stop music now. This will never be bettered.
I’ll never see him live and I can’t tell you how much that annoys me. **** **** **** **** **** in hell.
From Hunky Dory to Station to Station, excellent vocalist and performer, never thought he was a great lyricist, after that bits and pieces, some reminders of how good he really was.
Bowie is great certainly up there.
But that Glastonbury performance seems to have been elevated to some magical live performance not sure about that.
If it's any consolation..... I waited 25 years to see him live. And it was awful.
It was billed as a Farewell Tour, so he sang all the hits. The trouble was, it was with that ****ing Tin Machine, who just didn't have the touch for those songs. It also exposed a lot of the weaknesses in his singing, sadly.

Sounds superb live in this video. Genius that was Bowie.
One of my biggest regrets looking back, was turning down tickets for his gig in Glasgow cos I couldn't work out how I'd get there and back . Heroes tour too. What a d/€£. Closest I got was being in Comely Bank when he played Murrayfield on the Glass Spider Tour...
