Yes

Nice

based

i love that gay dead mother fucker

I like the Berlin albums, Scary Monsters and 1.Outside, but that's about it. It's not that the other albums are 'bad', it's just that they don't really click with my tastes.
In saying that, I have so much respect for Bowie as a musician and artist.

"I respect him as an artist" is a bullshit copout

What about Hunky Dory

How so? He was a brilliant musician, a fine actor, and he brilliant kept 'reinventing' himself, his image, and his music.

Rick Wakeman played great on that album. I don't know, it just didn't really "click" with me. I liked Life on Mars and Kooks, though to be fair.

>I don't like his music
>he was a brilliant musician
cringe

I can say something is good without liking it, user.

What about Queen Bitch?

yeah if you want to sound retarded

I still listen to Blackstar

Didn't like that desu

So I can't see the artistic merit in something without liking it?

Oof

if you see artistic merit in something, that means you like it

Not from Hunky Dory but have you heard Starman?

No it doesn't. Are you ESL?

Starman wasn't bad, actually. I didn't like the Ziggy album as a whole though.

christ youre retarded. you do not need to like something to understand it is creative or well done. i am not a fan of much classical music but i can still respect a piece for sounding very well composed or being very unique without loving it.

there's no difference between "I like this" and "this has artistic merit," unless you're a retard that wants to praise something while also not enjoying it

You don't think it's well composed if you don't enjoy listening to it.

Yeah, he was a cool daddy-o.

Scott Walker was better

...

Dollar Days should've been the first single to come outta of Blackstar.

Maybe.

Easily my favourite pop musician. His 70s run of albums from Hunky Dory to Scary Monsters is unparalleled, and he had occasional moments of incredible inspiration later on in his career (Outside/Leon Suites, some tracks from Buddha of Suburbia, Blackstar).
Both are fantastic. I think Bowie was always constrained by some need to have his work be somewhat accessible, which Scott obviously didn't care less about. Even on The Leon Suites - which is definitely Bowie going 'avant-garde' - he lacked the courage to just release it as it was, he had to edit it into a more digestible package on Outside. That said, Bowie's greatest material overshadows Walker's in my opinion, by virtue of its ability to perfectly straddle the line between the avant-garde and the accessible.

How do you pronounce that? Meem-wee or Me-Mew-Wee?
