Brixton, London (1947 – present)

David Bowie (born David Robert Jones on January 8, 1947 in Brixton, London) is an iconic english rock musician. Active in five decades of popular music and frequently reinventing his music and image, Bowie is widely regarded as an innovator, particularly for his work in the 1970s. He has been cited as an influence by many musicians and is known for his distinctive voice and the intellectual depth of his work.

As a multi-instrumentalist, he is famous for playing the guitar, piano and saxophone; but also plays the harmonica, drums, cello, marimba, bass guitar, koto, and stylophone. He rose to fame with the heady 1969 folk rock single

Space Oddity and became a glam rock icon with the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars (1972). Subsequent albums have explored blue-eyed soul, electronica and new wave, often pre-dating these genres’ popularity or even the point at which they were defined as genres.

Bowie is one of the most influential rock musicians from the 1970s to the present. He has sold an estimated 136 million albums in his career and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Due to his wide spread into different genres, it could be said that he influences most modern bands at least on an indirect level (i.e. Bowie influenced a band who influenced them).

Polymorphous71 you say hes a "Talentless leech" but if he is a leech you got to admit after selling over 130 million albums he has a talent for being a leech and therefore is talented :p I love Bowie and his music i dont care if anyone else likes him or not. Hes a brilliant all round entertainer.

.He is one of the Greatest Performers and popularisers.And fuck criticizing spelling mistakes or typos in shoutboxes is an easy target.Most Popular Music is unlistenable,Bowie made no apologies for being Popular,but he Produced good popular music that was challenging, and he is one of many artists that created a Music scene that was more open to innovative Music..

Polymorphous.What would be the Point of a discussion.You think he's Talentless.Yeah! he has been accused of a lack of originality and immitation,but his talent especially in the Seventies and Eighties was the ability to package different influences and make them his own,He has written some great songs that stand the Test of time(what other Proof of Quality is there),His Stage Presence was second to none .he Brought a sense of Theatre that was not cheesy to a Music scene thas Dominated by Prog rock autism.He brought Fun to a Grey Britain.Music was Fun and fuck! you could dress up he said,we agreed.Moreover he name checked artist whose influences he used.Lou Reed has a lot thank Bowie for, bringing him to a wider public.I will agree that"God of Experimental" is just wrong on so many levels.But that cant detract from Bowie who introduced to Popular music a lot of Musical influences they would not have heard
