Is he the most successful musicians ever?
don't forget inspiring TR to get clean. among other things.
everyone needs a friend like him.
Not the most successful quality or popularity wise to be honest, but he surely will be among the 100 or so most important people in music history for the next hundred years.
TR?
Trent Reznor
Trent Reznor?
Tim Razor, of Yard Long Fingers fame
The Alan Rickman
He's up there
David Bowie is the best, better included than Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury
>gets offered to shag a corpse
>doesn't do it
eh, he didn't miss much
kek
Yes. Few musical artists can balance quality and popularity like he did. The Beatles are similar, though they didn't have the reaching out into other genres that Bowie did nor the long length of his career. I'm not even that much of a Bowie fan personally, but I can see him for what he is/was.
>abused heroine for years
He didn't do Heroin, just coke.
...
Don't forget

>handsome
not with those teeth
His performance in Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence is severely underrated in most circles. Much like that movie in general. He's phenomenal in it.
He's British, can't help it
Not to mention his fantastic performance in The Man Who Fell To Earth. And let's be honest, Labyrinth is shit without him.
Agreed.
Also his performance of The Elephant Man on broadway is amazing from the snippets I've seen, he didn't have any make up on either.
>Is he the most successful musicians ever?
That would probably be Bob Dylan
SUCKA
Wrong
Let's Dance
Tonight
Labyrinth
Never Let Me Down
Black Tie White Noise
i like bowie as much as the next guy, but let's be real here, he did not make five 10/10 albums
StS
Low
Hunky Dory
Ziggy
are all unassailable 10/10s and a strong case can be made for heroes and scary monsters and lets dance
Yeah, he had more
>forgetting Aladdin sane
You must live on your back
Every film he was in was elevated simply because of him. Especially Zoolander.
Anybody else hate Bowie?
Can't stand his voice and his stupid gimmicks.
No
Dude, we all love Bowie but come the fuck on
