Topic: David Bowie on the Archives? Posted: March 25 2006 at 15:31 |
For me he is the epitome of a progressive artist! Albums like Reality and Low are very prog. He was forever changing and opened a lot of doors IMO.
WHAT DO YOU SAY?

Yes he has made proggy albums. But No, even though David Bowie is one of my favourite artists, ever.
But no David Bowie here, thank you.

Yeah, he's progressive, that's for sure, just not prog. These two are
completely different things. I love Bowie, but I have to say No as well.

David Bowie has consistantly reinvented himself, moved with times and has not been afraid to experiment. He stands on his own two feet and doesn't rest on his laurals. Yup, good enough for me.

can't really decide... but definitely more prog than some that have
been kicked around like Zeppelin or the Doors, and probably some that
are here already.
The purist says maybe....
the fan says hell yeah.

I think he's more prog than for instance Supertramp, Queen, Deep Purple, Radiohead etc. But along with the aforementioned, he really wouldn't fit in on an prog site.
But I really couldn't care less.

His albums from 1976 - 80 are (IMO) much more prog
Station to Station (1976) (the title track is one of the best pieces of music ever!)
Low (1977) (side 2 is ABSOLUTE prog, featuring lots af great expermental ambience by Eno)
Heroes (1977) (same as Low + Fripp on guitar)
Lodger (1979) (maybe not as experimantal as Low + Heroes, but still great and somewhat complex material + Belew on guitar)
Scary Monsters (1980) (SPLENDID guitarwork by prog-giant Robert Fripp)
These five albums are easily my favourite Bowie albums and as proggy as he gets! Of his earlier stuff, Space Oddity is perhaps the proggiest. &a mp;n bsp;

Rick Wakeman played on Space Oddity, so that makes Bowie prog-related, right?
