Prog-related would be good since Mr. Bowie did his share of both influencing prog and being influence by it.

What was the outcome of this thread? Bowie certainly should appear here somewhere.

I don't know, most of his stuff is in the pop vein. Traditional structures and tempos, etc. His stuff from the 90's on was increasingly experimental, but still pop IMO.

The proggiest thing he's done, in my mind, is "Space Oddity" but that's just one song...

I have to say if Space Oddity is the most prog Bowie, you've heard, there's a lot better out there for you to check out.  Of the newer stuff, you really must try Heathen.  Outside is rather good too.  If you let the '70's Low pass you by, shame on you!

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Low, Heroes, etc. are only about half-good to me and that half is the ambient part. The very first song from Heathen was good but the rest really wasn't up there.

The All Music Guide thinks that Bowie was influenced by Pink Floyd, Syd Barret, and Kraftwerk. It also already has labeled him prog/art rock and experimental rock. Let's face it, "art rock" is practically synonymous with David Bowie.

I don't listen to him much at all, but I figure he might deserve a spot in Related. We can all agree that Prog Related is not within the genre of prog rock. But it satisfies those who think he merits inclusion for historical links to the genre and because of his music's progressive characteristics.

Well, he also is labeled "glam rock", "pop rock", and "blue-eyed soul". It's not that simple.

I'm going to shut up now, until I have a lot more knowledge about his actual music.

^ that always helps LOL. Give an artist a 40 year career that is worth anything and I suspect they might lots of tags..  unless you put the same sh*t out.. year after year after year.  Then again..that is why Bowie is what he is... you can't slap a tag on him. It is as you say... not that simple.  But if your base point is correct... the man IS Art Rock.

This post is just to bump the thread as I've closed this new one:
 
As stated, the admin team will give Bowie consideration for Prog Related if anyone is proposing to the the actual addition.

as has been noted before.... Bowie is in the hands of the Xover team... and is under eval.  If we pass... we'll send him to the admin team for PR consideration.

I would have thought Cygnet Committee from Space Oddity would, in itself, justify inclusion somewhere on PA.  One of the greatest prog songs ever written.

I agree that Bowie deserves a place here to be mentioned.
- Second album Space Oddity - prog psyche
- 1970-74 hard rock/glam with occassional prog folk elements (Hunky Dory)
- 1976-78 collaboration with Eno, Fripp, electronic/ambient prog
- 1980s only are pure pop IMO, but again with occassional arty approach
 
Prog-related at least.

After consultation with M@x, David Bowie has been approved for addition as Prog Related.
 
If one of the prog teams decides to include him in their sub-genre, he can be moved when that decision is made.
 
Meanwhile, who is going to write the bio and add him? Teo?Big%20smile
