all that old music is boring as gently caress. too bad freddie mercury died way back then instead of bowie, at least freddie had spectacular showmanship. instead we get another 30 years of tedious pretentious old person music woop de loving doo.

this is a much better thread than usual dad gay im glad you're taking my post to heart

I must win every thread in GBS. I don't care how much banal semantic quibbling and shitty posts it takes.

i dont "not like him" i just find his music to be objectively horrible. there's a big difference

I've been on these forums since '01 and you are by far the worst poster since my last forums name.

he was funny on Extras though and he probably wouldve been a good actor he should have transitioned to that instead of continuing to make lovely music then it mightve not been a total loss

HERE ARE THE FUCKING TOWELS
DGSW has the tiniest bit of a point - Bowie after Scary Monsters and before Tin Machine was pretty terrible for the most part.

The thing is, there's like 15 albums left and they contain some phenomenal music, it's not right to listen to one or two songs from his shittiest period and write the guy off.

Station to Station is a great song and great album, FYI

The first problem was listening to anything on the radio. There's a reason why it's dying. They can't play more than three songs that have a bpm over 20 an hour or it will kill the only people who still listen to the radio. Office workers, people with long commutes, and pissed off retail workers who want to end it all if they hear another Taylor swift song that shift.

I'm sorry but 95.7 plays today's rhythm and all the best throwbacks.

When Bowie died a few of us were playing his music and one friend wanted us to play "the one where he says 'put your red shoes on'" so we put on Let's Dance and she was like "this is horrible, this isn't the song" and we discovered she had only heard David Bowie techno remixes that sound nothing like the originals and actually hated his music. She was also confused when his Ziggy Stardust stuff started playing because she thought it was someone else.

Blackstar was a good album to go out on
