Artist of the Day - Day 6 - David Bowie

David Bowie; Singer, Alien and Ruler of Muppet Goblins

David Bowie – now he’s an artist that’s tricky to classify.  First and foremost, he is a great singer and songwriter.  But, unlike so many other artist of the 1960’s, Bowie has continuously updated his music and has stayed “up-to-date” with the times.  He had great hits in the 60’s and 70’s (Ziggy Stardust, “Space Oddity”), in the 80’s, he changed his style and genre (slightly, from a techno-synth style to a more pop/rock style) giving us the quintessential David Bowie song, for me, ‘Under Pressure’ with Queen.  Now he’s considered a “veteran of rock”, but he still does tours and makes great music! 

And let us not forget, he’s also a great actor!  Labyrinth, The Hunger (both the movie and tv show), Yellowbeard, and of course, SpongeBob SquarePants.
