David Bowie is prog now? Hmm, I don't know, I always thought of David Bowie as a pop singer. But prog or not, his music is good.

Hunky Dory is his best record.
Life seemed to him merely like a gallery of how to be.

...Yes, there are a few little prog moments on Diamond dogs, like the half-good Arnold layne reprise, but the overall album is atrocious.

I personally don't think Bowie is progressive, but he is definately a great talent. The proggiest albums of his IMO are Space Oddity, Diamond Dogs and Station To Station. I haven't heard anything from 1976 or later so I can't comment on Low, Heroes, etc.

Thank you very much for your suggestions. So, I guess I will try the 70s, like usual....

  • Space Oddity
  • The Man Who Sold The World
  • Hunky Dory
  • Ziggy Stardust
  • Aladdin Sane

These are my favourites ... the 2nd through 6th ... Hunky Dory is a bit folkier, Ziggy Stardust has more anthemic glam stuff ... but they're all good ... I'm one of those who doesn't quite rate later phases as essential ... but yes, the Station to Station track is cool ...

Station to Station (if only for the fantastic ten-minute title track!), Heroes

I know Bowie, and I recommend the following:

  • The man who sold the world
  • Honky dory
  • Low
  • Space oddity
  • Heroes

Enjoy
