All style no substance
100% image, 0% talent
just turn on the radio and you'll hear nothing but talentless hacks
this goes for every band and artist posted on /mu/. except classical, classical is the only music that matters.
but isn't it possible that he both cared about his image and had talent
>>63471981
>and had talent
prove it
remember to treat david bowie fans the same you would treat a person that says that they "kinda like showtunes desu im weird like that with music"
>>63471997
did closeitjohn pay some minions to post this?
ITT: Fad-chasing hipsters
You might as well chuck Mozart, John Cage and Jim Morrison in your "le talentless hax" collection while you're at it.
to the one cunt that's posting this shit about Bowie, at least have a trip so i can filter you
i don't like chatting with 13yr olds from /b/

Wew lad Bowie's art rock
>>63471863
true desu
like seriously name one MUSICAL innovation or musically original thing Bowie did that doesn't have anything to do with his artsy image. you literally can't.
>>63471918
>people actually believe this
>>63472247
you really think that only one person in the world has that opinion on bowie?
>>63472345
lmao you moron he invented drum & bass
>>63472447
loooooooooool wut?
>>63472539
>Drum and bass (/ˈdrʌm ənd ˈbeJs/) (also written as drum 'n' bass and commonly abbreviated as D&B, DnB or D'n'B) is a genre of electronic music which emerged from rave and oldschool jungle scenes in England during the early 1990s
>David Robert Jones (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016), known as David Bowie (/ˈboʊ.i/),[1] was an English singer, songwriter, actor and record producer. He was a figure in popular music for over five decades, considered by critics and musicians as an innovator, particularly for his work in the 1970s.
>early 1990s
> the 1970s.
bowie pre-dated the "rave scene" by 20 years

You say that like its a good thing
>>63472571
What song influenced Drum & Bass?
>>63472610

>>63471997

>>63471863
But anon that's not Freddie Mercury.

boehmian rhapsody is better than anything david bowie ever made

Boehmian Rhapsody is the most overrated song of all time. Pretentious fucking garbage
>>63472859
More like

Yeah pretty much actually
>>63472782
Holy shit this has to be b& if it's not you should go back to 9gag
>>63471863

>could write songs
>was a great singer
>"0% talent"
>>63472782
This is some hilariously awful bait. A Bowie b-side from the 70s blows away Bohemian Rhapsody.

scaruffi's favorite song of 1974 is bohemian rhapsody
>>63471863
Name some of your favorite artists. I guarantee at least a couple of them were influenced by Bowie.
>>63473024
I'm not buying that unless you post proof. Scaruffi was never a big fan of Queen. A Night at the Opera is the only album of theirs that received a good score from him.
>>63473024
That's wrong.
http://www.scaruffi.com/music/songs.html
It was one of his favorite songs of 1976 alongside Bob Dylan - Hurricane and Bob Dylan - Joey.
>>63473024
>taking scaruffi seriously
that's your problem m8
>>63473024
If Scaruffi proves Queen are good then he also proves Bowie is good since he thinks Space Oddity is one of the best songs of 1969. Plus he gave Low a 7/10 and "Heroes" a 7.5/10.
>>63473024
Your point being? Why would I pay attention to some meme critic who tries way too hard (just like OP)? His Beatles pasta is all I know of him but that's all I need to know about the twat.
>>63473537
Scaruffi is not really wrong about the Beatles
>>63473537
The fact that so many posts still name the Beatles copypasta as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” copypasta ever only tells you how far copypasta still is from becoming a serious art.
>>63473692
Except he is. The Beatles are widely considered the greatest rock band ever because of their music, not because of their sales. Their earlier and more simplistic pop tunes are often disregarded, it's the likes of Revolver, s/t, Sgt Peppers and Abbey Road which have made many music fans and critics to consider them the best.
>>63471918
*tips fedora*
>>63473892
if you really think those albums are the pinnacle of rock music than I don't even know what to say to you
>>63473024
it was 1976, my mistake. but its still his favorite song of that year http://www.scaruffi.com/music/songs.html
>>63474167
meant to reply to>>63473042
i agree with OP tbqh but i never say that out loud
>>63473024
Yeah and his 2005 fav song is Banaroo - Dubi Dam Dam, so what?
>>63474073
I don't personally consider them the "pinnacle", but I think they are very good. Scaruffi said they literally did nothing worthy of being saved, which is laughable.
>>63472319
get real, david was more of a pop/rock combo
>>63473024
Ok?
What's with all these newfags hating on Bowie?
>>63474892
Le epin contrarian meme XD
>>63475091
look, he's self-aware
>>63471918
>throwing away all romantic composers
>>63474892
It's just 2 or 3 people
>>63474892
I think it's cause he just died so they assume the only people who like him are 16 years old girls so they think they have to be edgy and have the opposite opinion on him
whatever he did,(insert descriptor here), he raised it to an art form. maybe it was mass commercialism, but, even still, there is a talent to that.
I wonder if that's why he wanted no memorial service. He knew he was nothing special. I think he was, but maybe he didn't.
tltr: he was good at whatever you want to call it.
>>63474892
You just answered yourself.
They're newfags that listen exclusively to My Chemical Romance and Animal Collective.
>>63475847
Bowie hasn't done a single thing that was better than ANY AnCo record.
face it the pop media has brainwashed you into liking Bowie because he's "lolsoartsy", not for his music. his best albums are a 6.5/10 at best.
style IS substance and substance IS style though
>>63475989
this ISNT true and you ARE a retard though
>>63475938
This is stupid. Sure people say "Bowie gave the the courage to come out as a trout-sexual" but his music is fantastic.
>>63475938
