What made David Bowie so universally loved?
Have you met anyone who didn't like Bowie?
>>63436254
i don't like him
I don't like Bowie. AMA.
I don't like him very much either. I don't know if I ever "met" myself though.
>>63436297
Why?
>>63436254
I actually don't enjoy Bowie, he's just not my type of music.
Bowie is boring.
>>63436377
It's called having taste, maybe you should try it

There's no water anymore, it's all just bait
It's because he has reinvented himself so many times that you are guaranteed to find something to like from him.

But he never managed to reinvent himself into anything good
>>63437356
why is it automatically bait if you didn't like him?
>>63437378
I do like him, he's just never made anything that I can LOVE. Although fuck, if I give Blackstar a few more spins that might actually be the one.

no one is saying why
>>63436254
FUCK YOU, CAPTAIN TOM
Can we just say he was nice guy?
In his interviews he just seems to be the most humble and amiable guy to ever become a rock star.
>universally
I fucking hate him, so...
>>63436254
I don't enjoy his work.

David Bowie turned marketing into the essence of his art. All great phenomena of popular music, from Elvis Presley to the Beatles, had been, first and foremost, marketing phenomena (just like Coca Cola and Barbie before them); however, Bowie turned that into an art of its own. With Bowie the science of marketing becomes art; art and marketing become one.
Bowie was a protagonist of his times, although a poor musician: to say that Bowie is a musician is like saying that Nero was a harp player (a fact that is technically true, but misleading). Bowie embodies the quintessence of artificial art, raises futulity to paradigm, focuses on the phenomenon rather than the content, makes irrelevant the relevant, and, thus, is the epitome of everything that went wrong with rock music.
>he even turned his own death into a lame marketing stunt for his last album

I've met someone who didnt know Bowie
I don't really like bowie. I just see it, the older pre-80's things, as sth that's still useable. All those, It was a team-effort. Face it, not bowie, bowie and friends. Did that myself, good results, works. Visconti and shit, you can hardly downplay his genius on it, all the guitarists and bassists and shit. Bowie started sucking when it all became 'bowie the superstar'. Face it, is factso.
