Opinion Sunday: Beyonce's Formation

Am I late to the party?  I suppose so, but that's okay. Beyonce doesn't need my opinion anyway. She's kicking it. She's slaying it.

David Bowie: Introduction & David Bowie (1967)

Introduction

-----

David Bowie is one of the most influential English musicians in the world. His career spanning from the late 60s to the release of Blackstar just this year, he produced masterpieces like "Space Oddity", "The Man Who Sold the World," and albums like The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust. He was a man genre-defiant and stuck with nothing for long, he experimented with pop, rock, folk, electronica, dance, grunge, and bandstand songs throughout his career.

Despite his popularity, my exposure to David Bowie would come later in life. I knew he was a major musician of significant popularity. When I did listen to his discography, it surprised me how many recognizable tunes he had made.

The twenty-seven studio albums of David Bowie represent a wide variety of musical styles. We will see, even in his earliest albums, that Bowie was an experimental musician at heart.
