Re: (TV) Bowie: the music , the man

["Andy Ferguson" <afne04343@blueyonder.co.uk>]

Scary Monsters was a great record , Outside and Earthling were a good
pairing , the theme music to The Buddah of Suburbia was a superb collection
for a 'soundtrack' and '...hours' was full of classic Bowie tunes ! The new
album is tremendous also .

None of the above would feature in my desert island discs selection  , but
then I move on far too quickly to hang around and compile such a list , I'm
onto the next new thing , searching out new material and angles as opposed
to being satisfied listening to bands that produce the same album again and
again for their entire career and assume the role of classic artists .

Bowie has changed throughout and has made , as you put it , 4 'pish' records
, which isn't bad out of a career of dozens ( Tin Machine not included :-)
and as such earns his place as one of our most respected , creative and
talented artists .

Anyone who denies this simply doesn't like him , which is fine , but at
least acknowledge the evidence in hand .

Andy
