David Bowie

[The Continuing Story]

You do know that Shakespeare generally borrowed his material from others but took credit due to his ‘celebrity’ status?

How do you know that? There's very very little known about Shakespeare despite what's alleged

Then we wouldn’t have had his last album.

Nor heathen, reality, the next day ...

 

[chillikebab]

Couldn't tie Bon Iver's boots but good nonetheless.

He's not like. Shakespeare for one. Vincent van Gogh.

Neither Shakespeare or Van Gogh ever had a Number One record.

Then we wouldn’t have had his last album.

Aye? It's so modern it's almost futuristic in parts. Some cool as fuck blues going anarl. Love it me like.

Ok I'll give it another go then

I don’t know for certain, but it’s bandied about as fact, even by academics.

A quick google seems to substantiate the claim too.

Bowie was somewhat of a musical magpie at times tbf.

Quite possibly. That’s not to take away any of his original works where he was ground breaking.

“Somebody up there likes me” from YM and The Gouster is an absolute Bowie classic , underrated and underplayed .

David Sanborn’s sax on SUTLM is just sublime!

 

[Slow joe]

Neither Shakespeare or Van Gogh ever had a Number One record.

I know.

 

[ErichZann]

Decent.

Blackstar is absolutely sublime, superb album

 

[dangermows]

Couldn't tie Bon Iver's boots but good nonetheless.

A ridiculous statement.

 

[dangermows]

Black Star on now. Its superb.

 

[Wearson]

I’m pleased that Bowie is still a topic of conversation and praise, even on SMB.
He was undoubtedly a modern day genius.

HELLO NEWCASTLE.

 

[dangermows]

Golden Years is one of the best songs of all time.

 

[FlyingLotus]

Black Star on now. Its superb.

It really is. Not a bad song on it.

 

[vinegar hill]

Anar it’s been done over and over, but the man is the biggest and best talent ever.

Well he certainly isn’t the biggest, that’s a fact.
The best that’s opinion, not for me though.

 

[peachy]

It really is. Not a bad song on it.

I like his last four albums. All released since 2000.

Ziggy Stardust is my favourite album of all time.
