David Bowie is one of the great pioneers of music. Not only that but his influence spread to fashion and sexual liberation. A true legend.
Point is, he doesn't need to do anymore as he did more than any other artist and has an awesome back catalogue. He will never reach those musical heights again anyways. Artists are of their time. I have a weird urge to listen to Absolute beginners now(yes, I know its not one of his classics but I have a fondness for it!). |

Bowie was more than music to any of us that grew up with him, his creations of Alladin Sane and Ziggy Stardust were revolutionary and we 'lived' him. If he is retired now, he obviously feels he has nothing to add to the current music industry or he has other projects to pursue and he's always been right with his timing, so it's the right thing for him..............to see him perform again though......................O M G!

I don't think any new stuff would have topped his old stuff. It was the same as MJ, like he was gone for a while and it was fine because he didn't need to produce anymore material!
We can all listen to his old stuff and be happy/ |

That's the thing about Bowie though, just when you thought -it doesn't get any better than this- it did............I still think he would produce something amazing, he is one of the most creative artists....ever

Bowie was an innovator in the music industry he broadened peoples views on sexuality and lifestyle. He was the master of reinvention years before Madonna was ever heard of and the master of performance and showmanship before Ga Ga was born. Everyone is free to like him or not but to say he was an overhyped pop idol is like saying The Beatles were a one hit wonder

Bowie's influence can't be questioned, saying that he was all marketing and presentation is just ****ing ridiculous. His music was incredibly unique, peculiar and it made people take notice. Saying that he was overrated means you have no clue about the influence he had on the idustry. You're just being a contrarian for the sake of it and failing at it.

I'm not saying that Bowie wasn't "influential" - of course, multitudes of fans were swayed by the hype, pretensions and "fashion" - performances were attended by thousands of "look-alikes" ..... |

Bowie is listed highly in the greatest artists of all time (within the top 20 I think)which is by the music industry, his peers not his fans.

The thing is though you're trivialising the effect he had, He isn't considered among the best for his image but for his music
