Whats you favourite Bowie period?

No I've not come across that (but you are talking to someone who hasn't seen ET!)

Did he do a lot of acting, Bowie? He certainly seemed to enjoy it in Labyrinth! The strange fantasy seemed to suit him.

Have you ever seen ‘Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence?’ I only watched ’Labyrinth’ recently for the first time, I thought it was really good.

I'm the same with knowing him from Labyrinth, me and my husband are fond of that era of fantasy films.

I liked Space Oddity and Starman as I liked the book and film of 2001:A Space Odyssey, and it reminds me of that.

I don't actually think I've actively listened to other stuff, though I'll know stuff from the radio probably.

As for Lotus  I pick 1975 to 1980 - Young Americans to Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps). A run that includes the Berlin trilogy. Superlative work.

I love the yellow suit 80s period, one of my favourite songs is modern love, I didnt like the style of Ziggy stardust, but I did like the music he did at that time period .

I couldn't be doing ith that film and Aladin Sane is one of least favourite Bowie periods

I discovered Bowie from watching Labyrinth when i was 12 but I think my favourite is definitely his glam years. Aladdin Sane is my favourite album.

I like the R&B stuff he did Young American. Maybe because I’m a huge Luther Vandross fan who was his backing singer at the time.

I grew up in the 80s so it was Lets dance etc but I do like Spiders from mars and the like. I think Dark star was different, he knew he was dying and it came out in the music.

Hunky Dory to the death of Ziggy. Having said  that his numerous reincarnations gave us the most incredible music, in my opinion he just never failed to produce incredible albums. 

His "Thin White Duke" period in the later part of the 1970s. My favourite album is Station to Station (released 1976) and my favourite song is on that album - Golden Years.

I also liked Low and Heroes, but I wasn't so keen on Let's Dance - I thought it was too much like pop, not so creative as his previous work. 

Another song I like a lot is "I'm afraid of Americans" (1997) which was co written with Brian Eno, who is a great musician and also collaborated with Bowie on his "Berlin trilogy" albums - Low, Heroes & Lodger.

Probably the Diamond Dogs era. He was set to burnout, but still had popular appeal.

I enjoy his first album - I think he was still developing his own personality then (apparently he took quite large inspiration from Syd Barrett in the 60s, which I can hear in it), but it makes it very grounded. We all start somewhere. "There is A Happy Land" encapsulates this well, telling a sort of universal childhood experience.

I will say Hunky Dory feels similar to me, especially with how casual the lesser mentioned songs are, like "The Bewlay Brothers", where you can hear him taking a drag of his cigarette. 

I really like mid 90's Outside and Black Star.  HUnky Dory is probably the best of them.

Me too, I'm not as keen on the whole glam rock period.

My favourites are ‘Oh! You Pretty Things’ and ‘Starman’.

To be honest there is just too much to choose from. The glam rock look is just brilliant. Unfortunately I’m old enough to remember it first time around.
