First was Major Tom, then the Duke of White and later an icon of contemporary music, David Duncan Jones is many things, but the same looks like daid bowie.
First : ziggy stardust and spiders froms mars.
Humans tend to be messianic, we look for a savior who is indifferently your religion, we are in that search, Bowie captured that essence with the idea that an extraterrestrial turned rock star would be the last savior, but as instead of dying or Light and impregnate of our evil called humanity, to seduce us with that voice androgyny that can accompany you at any time. The album ranges from sadness to the idea of suicide, a rock classic and a jewel of the seventies.
second : young americnas
African American music is certainly great or not, but in the seventies listening to a white singer singing that kind of music was something completely unusual, less for the British singer who with this album seduced and expanded the musical possibilities, especially certain Song that wrote with John Lennon and composed with the guitarist Puerto Rican Carlos Alomar Fame, without a doubt a disc to dance and to enjoy in any party or only delight with the lines of the bass.
third : Heroes
In the late 1970s David Bowie was plunged into a deep addiction to cocaine and living more and more on the edge of the abyss, but instead of becoming the next rock martyr, he took his bags and went to berlin with his Faithful friend iggy pop to detox and recover from his addiction during this period berlin oriental was not the most suitable place for two stars in decline like Bowie and iggy, but the audacity and influence of German krautrock that had started a few years before by Bands like Neu or Kraftwerk, and obviously with the collaboration of the guitarist Robert Fripp that travels from the united states to record the guitarists of the homonymous song of heroes like a classic that portrayed two homosexuals who loved separated by the berlin wall.
four :Let's Dance
I must mention that this album included it in the list for several reasons although many fans will say that it is his most pop and commercial period. But it must be taken into account that his sound fit perfectly into the eighties and obviously for the rock chameleon to adapt to new trends was his specialty if the trilogy of Berlin (low, heroes and lodger) brought him to the art rock, Let's Dance it Consagro as super world music star, it is noteworthy that bowie for this album did not have its usual producer Toni Visconti and opt for Nile rogers chic group; Which produced a change of sound, as a curious fact the famous blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan was invited by Bowie himself after seeing him play in club in Dallas, this would be the first professional studio album of the musician and the beginning of his career professional.
Five : Blackstar.
On January 10, 2016. david bowie died after fighting two years against cancer, two days before I edit his darkest album in my opinion which shows why he is a genius of music, jazz, rock, experimentation Album has it all and from there it becomes e the myth that is currently in the history of contemporary music.
