Let's be honest here, /mu/. What other musician's death will cause as much public outcry as Bowie's? Is there anyone still alive whose death will be as big as Bowie's? And I mean in the general population, not just /mu/ and reddit and places like that

>>61708198
Bob Dylan will probably be the next big one that throws people into a conniption.

Among the general public, I can only think of Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney.

Will be way bigger than Bowie

>>61708261
You obviously have a warped perspective of the general mainstream media/society. No fucking way Roger Waters, Mick Jagger, or Robert Plant are gonna have a death that's more impactful than Bowie's death. Maybe Paul, maybeeeeee Dylan, if we're being generous. But those other guys? No fucking way

You must be insane to think that Space Oddity is his biggest solo song, or to think that any of his solo songs aren't huge at all. I heard Heroes all the time even before his death. Let's Dance was popular as shit too. And even if Under Pressure is seen as more of a Freddie song, 99% of people who listen to it still know Bowie features on it
>>
>>61708198

None because all the big ones are complete hacks and they will never do a concept album about their deaths. They are all doing cashgrabbing tours or releasing atrocious albums to pay their dogs therapists.

Bowie was the last artist with integrity, the last one to really care about his art. We lost the last great musician and it is a great loss for the world. If Jagger dies tomorrow... Well, what's the difference?
>>
>>61708198
The thing that was so phenomenal about Bowie dying is that he just dropped a 9/10 album three days prior that's filled with obvious hints that nobody would have ever noticed. Even the Lazarus video didn't cause anyone to suspect anything. Of course he's going to be the most talked about after a performance like that. What an exit.
>>
>>61708636
>You must be insane to think that Space Oddity is his biggest solo song
Which one is bigger then?

Also, Ashes to Ashes, Changes, Heroes, Let's Dance, even China Girl are pretty famous. But I'm talking huge.
>>
>>61708666
I think what makes it all the more better is that Blackstar was already getting serious praise before Bowie died, and before we even knew he was sick. It's not one of those albums that everyone is gonna praise just because he died shortly after it, it was clear that this album was gonna be regarded as a high point in his career even if he kept making music for another 10 years.

I'd be upset but I think there would be many, many more people who would be rejoicing, especially on /mu/.

Taylor's great and successful and all but she just doesn't have that same universal appeal as Bowie did. Might be a generational think i dunno.

If she died now, yeah. Either her or Kanye, but then again, enough people hate Kanye so it won't be as angry.

Still, when she actually dies in 40-50 years, it'll be just another celebrity death. I doubt she'll have nearly the legacy as a Bowie, though.

What? I live outside America and she's looked as just another pop artist, like Katy Perry or Rihanna, but without the sex appeal.

The next huge deaths will be the last Beatle (Either Ringo or Paul), Dylan, Brian Wilson, Tom Waits, Ozzy, Chuck Berry, and either Keith Richards or Mick Jagger. After that, we've got a decade long waiting period of more minor artists from between the classic era and more modern styles. That's when we'll see people like Michael Stype, Kate Bush, Kim Gordon/Thurston Moore, Morrissey, And Madonna tumble from age or even cancer related business. Shit, even hip hop will start having this effect, starting with the golden age then rounding out at the peak artists from the nineties. It's all a matter of time.

>>61708622
He now has the highest-grossing tour by a solo artist in music history. Peddling The Wall around the world for four years with his name attached to it kinda upped his public profile.

That said, he's still "the guy from Pink Floyd" for the vast majority of people, he never built a legacy around his own name the way people like Paul McCartney or Eric Clapton did after they left their former bands.
>>
>>61708754
I love Taylor and Bowie, but please don't drag her into this. /mu/ already hates her enough.

No way, even if she dropped dead tomorrow, she just doesn't have the legacy that he did. Nines years and five albums is nothing compared to the decades music and movies and icon that Bowie left behind. Truth is, I don't think anyone can ever be an icon in our culture anymore; it just moves too fast.
>>
>>61707705
A musicians death only matters if they where still producing music that matters, he hasn't done anything worthwhile since the wall.

>>

the difference with Bowie was that he was a solo artist so even the Stones, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin etc are more famous, their individual members probably aren't as recognisable
>>
>>61709292
>this is what /mu/tants actually believe
>>
>>61709361
I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan, and honestly, a lot of the band's appeal comes from how they overcame their individual weaknesses through playing with and off each other, which they themselves have admitted was the case several times.

>>61709361
He's right though, the only album I like from his career is The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking and mostly because it's rehashed stuff from the last two albums that he did on Pink Floyd.

Yeah dude nobody was big in the 70's...
>>
>>61709379
>>61709387
Look at the writing credits on all the PF albums before The Wall. He had a huge hand in everything and also wrote almost the whole of Animals too.

If you think Waters is talentless and only contribution is The Wall then you are ACTUALLY retarded. I don't mean 'retarded'l, I mean a genuine retard with mental handicap.
>>
>>61708198
Mick Jagger

No doubt in that. Retarded users of this site for some reason don't like Stones, but he's such an rock icon in the real world for more than 50 years that there is no doubt his death will be huge. I would like to say Keith Richards too, but his probably not so much.

I'm not the one throwing around words like "talentless hack," I'm just saying that Waters' best work always involved him being just one part of a project, even if he was the guiding force. Pink Floyd is the entity that will be remembered with more distinction than Roger Waters will be.

I'm surprised it took this long for him to be mentioned. I think reaction to Page's passing will probably outdo Plant's. Robert is a great frontman, but Jimmy is heralded as a guitar god by many people.

Page will have nowhere near the same public reaction as Bowie. Led Zeppelin were enormously influential, yes, but it was largely contained to the rock/metal genres. Bowie left his mark on several wildly different styles of music, is remembered by younger people for his movie roles almost as much as for music, and he did it all under his own name, whereas "Led Zeppelin" will probably be the first proper noun in Page's obituary.
>>
>>61709649
You under estimating Zeppelin's influence.

>>61709691
Their influence is undeniable, but the band itself hasn't done any work in over 35 years. The 2007 reunion proved that Page still has chops, I guess, but does he still have anything new to give the music world the way Bowie did with Blackstar?

I'm not saying one artist is better or more influential than the other, I pretty much like Led Zeppelin and David Bowie in equal measure. I'm just saying that the sheer length of time it's been since Zeppelin called it quits and Page's relative lack of a prolific solo career means that the general public won't perceive his loss as strongly as Bowie's.

bowie's music and fame transcended the limits of rock music unlike mick jagger, roger waters or robert plant. Mick jagger's death will be similarly recognizable b/c of how famous the rolling stones are but roger waters and robert plant will not stir up that much commotion outside of baby boomers and their dadrock influenced children. Neither of them were able to cultivate an image outside of rock music and also havent been as active as bowie has been recently. robert plant has been making his ridiculous folk music and roger waters has just been touring for the mainly boomer audience who already likes him. not saying that waters or plant aren't great, but they wont cause as much of a public outcry as bowie. bowie's music and image has just been able to cross more generations despite not being the most popular in his day.

bob dylan and paul mccartney will guaranteed have same impact if not greater, mick jagger will be similar, maybe a little less due to the fact that he wasn't as identifiable of a solo artist as bowie. the legacy of the rolling stones is much more identifiable than he is. Thats it tho. very few living artists that I can think of whose legacy has lived on and crossed as many generations as bowie. Any rock n' roll frontman or guitarist will have their legacy trumped by their more famous band. Most people couldnt name a member of pink floyd and maybe a few more would know jimmy page from led zeppelin but when any of those guys die in the next 10-20 years, the predominant message will be "the guy from (insert rock band) died"

someone like madonna is more famous but doesnt have the same reputation as a "true artist" so people won't be as impacted or view it as important as a bowie or mccartney. Stevie wonder will also be huge in terms of recognition and perceived artistic importance but I don't quite know where to place the impact of his death.
>>

One can only hope

>>61710082
That's because Bowie is a pop musician not a rock musician
>>
>>61710249
agreed but not sure how to really categorize his genre. obviously released albums in various genres and more would be considered pop than rock despite probably his most famous album "ziggy stardust" clearly being rock music. even that album was pretty poppy. obviously more pop than rock but still seems culturally linked to that genre in some ways.

>>61710392
I wouldn't go that far. in terms of musicians that have been discussed, the guys from pink floyd were obviously incredibly influential w/in rock music and outside of it regarding their production techniques, popular examples of progressive songwriting and concept album formats, etc. Led Zeppelin i would say less so. Their musical influence is at least pretty limited to rock music IMO. Fame is a different question. In that sense the members of pink floyd and jimmy page are recognizable by name to pretty much primarily fans of rock music specifically. how many people that is, I can't really say but I couldn't imagien someone who doesnt identify as a fan of rock music knowing who roger waters is despite his influence reaching beyond rock music.
>>
>>61710447
Are you saying rock didn't hugely influence pop?
>>
>>61710392
so maybe considering all this my point boils down to the pretty simplistic statement, David Bowie, because he was also a pop musician, actor and cultural influencer in terms of his dress and personal lifestyle, all of which has done a decent job at being spread amongst generations is nowadays is viewed as more recognizable and culturally significant than someone like roger waters or jimmy page (even tho page had his own recognizable cultural image as a rockstar i dont think it has lived on as much as bowie's in a way that is specifically linked to the musician himself. Page's rockstar image is nowadays just a rockstar image instead of a jimmy page image)

Can't wait for Roger Waters and David Gilmour to die.

Biggest jews in the music scene along with Gene Simmons. Somehow they managed to cater to the Reddit audience with their shit-tier pop-rock either way, just because "le weed bro!".

Absolute shit-tier band. Down there with AC/DC and Kiss as for pleb rock.

>Space Oddity is clearly his biggest solo song
...Are you retarded?

Fame and Let's Dance were both number one hits in America, a far bigger market than the UK, and Let's Dance was #1 in the UK too at the same time. Space Oddity was #1 in the UK and had staying power but it's nowhere near his biggest hit. Bowie also has his fingerprints all over popular culture.

I will agree that Mick Jagger will impact things just as much as or maybe bigger than Bowie, but not fucking Plant and Waters.

Bowie is nowhere near as popular with the younger generation than the likes of Zeppelin and Floyd. Every 15 year old kid who likes rock knows Zeppelin & Floyd, not the case with Bowie.

Musically, his legacy isn't as big.

>>61710672
As good as Bowie was, he never wrote anything near as good as the likes of Echoes or Dogs, or nothing as poignant and succinct as Wish You Were Here.

are you serious?
The Rolling Stones were probably the most impressive set of talents to come together in Britain before the Soft Machine: decadent vocalist Mick Jagger (who distorted soul crooning and turned it into an animal instinct), rhythm guitarist Keith Richards (who took Chuck Berry's riffs into a new dimension of fractured harmony), multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones (who penned their baroque and psychedelic arrangements), and the phenomenal, funky rhythm section of bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts. Steeped in the blues, the Rolling Stones redefined the rock performer, the rock concert and the rock song. They turned on the degree of vulgarity and provocation to levels that made Chuck Berry look silly. Arguably the greatest rock and roll band of all times, the Rolling Stones revolutionized each of the classical instruments of rock music: the drums incorporated the lascivious tom-tom of tribal folk, the martial pace of military bands and the sophisticated swing of jazz; the guitar amplified the raw and ringing style of Chuck Berry; the bass invented a depraved sound, the singing turned the sensual crooning of soul music in an animal howl, half sleazy lust and half call to arms; and the arragements of keyboards, flutes and exotic instruments completely misinterpreted the intentions of the cultures from which they were borrowed. The revolution carried out by the Rolling Stones was thorough and radical.

What's most interesting is that before he died everyone just assumed the Lazarus video was just Bowie being weird and doing some weird performance art as usual
And only now do we see the obvious symbolism and autobiography

I think this will cause a lot of casual fans to take a closer look at his entire discography, and realise he was dong that the whole time

And that is an absolutely genius move

I'm in the same position as you, I never tried getting into him because his discography is so massive, I'm listening to his albums only now. But I can tell you from the reactions of some of the users here that yes, it was a massive mindfuck. It sounds morbid, but that was probably the most intense conceptual moment in music that they'll ever experience, Bowie turned his death into art.
I suppose that not experiencing this mindfuck is the price I had to pay for not getting into Bowie before his death.
>>
>>61707705
Not him, every talented member of Pink Floyd is already dead

His death is like forever away but his music pretty based and has a dedicated following. People would say no never but i think his death could really impact a lot of people, like bowies passing, i dunno i guess his musics feels really organic and not forced 'keep up with the times music' it feels timeless.
