Bowie was Madonna’s biggest music inspiration. He was a gender bending genius that always broke the rules and was ever changing. He lives in the stars now. ❤️
Bowie was a musical enigma. This guy was such a chameleon he even had a full blown alter ego named Ziggy Stardust for a time. I think aside from those pretty hefty accomplishments, the fact that he continued to make interesting and relatable music all through the decades and various generrations speaks volumes about his talent. He's another one of those artists where you have to ask, "which Bowie are we talking about? 70s, 80s? Which era, which sound and style?" I would say react to "Fashion" next for a totally different version of him.
Congratulations mate you've just begun the journey into the catalogue one of the most diverse musical artists of all time with Bowie. Art rock, glam, pop, new wave, funk, psychedelic rock, folk, soul, ambient, electronic, synthpop and many others it's all there and there's amazing music videos to go with a lot of it. NICE.
Stanley kubrick's 2001 Space odyssey was released in 1968, the moon landing happened the same year this song was recorded. And the end of hippie era was closing in. David bowie setting the stage for a new era.
So glad to hear you listening to Bowie, this song was mind blowing when it came out, he was recording right up to his death, always changing, if you had a list of his songs and stuck a pin in it, you would not find a bad one
Love this song, and pretty much all David Bowie did. Amazing artist that was able to reinvent himself over and over. He took big risks that eventually paid off.
That whole album is amazing!! Bowie was so talented. You should give a listen to "Suffragette City." Also, he wrote "All The Young Dudes" for the band Mott the Hoople, which is an AMAZING song which you should definitely check out
Bowie is amazing. So many songs of his I love. I am not very good at the titles though. But yes, his voice!! And I was always mesmerized by his different coloured eyes. Totally had a crush on him in the 80's. *lol*
Oh next song of David Bowie’s should be Ashes to Ashes!! In this, he goes full circle like 10 years and sings about Major Tom!! Or if you want to stay in the same era his song Starman is a good next one 🌟💫⭐️
There's another music video for the demo version of the song that was filmed in 1969. You'll get more of an idea what he was like when the song was written. This music video was filmed during David's Ziggy Stardust era. That's Ziggy Stardust he's portraying. Ziggy's not involved with the song and wasn't created until 1972, but RCA used his appearance to market old material because he's an alien and it worked. Really, Ziggy was only linked to one album; The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars. The song came out in 1969, ten days before the Apollo 11 Moon Landing. It's very historically important. Elton John heard this song and hired Bowie's producer to do Rocket Man. The album itself was simply called David Bowie or Man of Words/Man of Music depending on the territory it was released in, but RCA's 1972 repackaging came with the new name Space Oddity after this track. Unfortunately, many people ignored the other songs on it because of that decision. His two albums after it were critical failures because they didn't have gimmicks about outer space that the labels could sell. They're actually incredible records lyrically and musically, so musicians were the ones who understood them and got influenced by them. Nevertheless, that Ziggy Stardust album came out and the people at RCA saw dollar signs. Every album got more exposure, but the artistry was eclipsed by red hair. Still, these music videos are iconic and extremely exciting to watch. I'm glad you've had this experience.
@@PancakeMarshmallowDude Absolutely! If you have any questions at all about David Bowie or his music, I can answer pretty much any of them besides what his favorite breakfast cereal was.
@Chris Meadows I heard somewhere that he was fond of a typical English breakfast, which I am guessing would be bangers & mash. And he was a coffee drinker, not tea. I do remember reading that his fave dish was Shepherds Pie, though! (Haha, I came in late to the party on this one. Hope I made you laugh! 😂)
Oh my goodness!!! Have you never heard this? I thought you’d be all over this??? Love David Bowie and how open minded you are to try this, I hope you enjoyed ♥️♥️♥️
This is his Ziggy Stardust days. Love this song. My most favorite Bowie song is a Tie between Fame & Let's Dance. Though I think I like Let's Dance a little more.
The song was orginially release in 1969 and played on British TV for the lunar landing. With his popularity rising after Ziggy Stardust, the song was released in 1972.
I enjoy how you observe and seem to have knowledge about musical and production techniques. Do you do any work with music yourself, Marshmallow? Or perhaps play an instrument?
He was dressing not boy not girl.. make up.. long before any else.. he got hell for being different...he stepped out front... long before it was even half way acceptable
Can you please react to David bowie and Mick jagger „dancing in the streets“ it’s a cover and I can’t get the music video off my mind it’s so random. Or „let‘s dance“ or „life on Mars“ if you want

Beautiful comment mate and very accurate.
Miss him so much.
You are about to start an incredible journey if this is the first Bowie song you've heard. Amazing artist.
David Bowie, George Michael and Prince.
My 3 role models.
2016 was a rough year.
Next Bowie Song: Ashes to Ashes
The sequel to Space Oddity.
Freddie Mercury needs to be in this list...my 4 role models.
for me it was Bowie, G. Michael and Leonard Cohen in '16. :´(
Those were my 3 living musicians that I loved the most and to lose them all in one year was devastating.

Yes!!! I was going to suggest Let’s Dance. You really can’t go wrong with Bowie and so many different musical periods. 💃

Ah, okay. Thanks for clarifying!
David Bowie influenced almost everyone . He was a true icon.
He was so unique!! A genius! Madonna's real inspiration, her muse. His career was so diverse, so amazing!! We miss him.
So glad to hear you listening to Bowie, this song was mind blowing when it came out, he was recording right up to his death, always changing, if you had a list of his songs and stuck a pin in it, you would not find a bad one
I would recommend FAME, or GokdenYears. Both great Bowie songs
Sorry, GoldenYears. Lol
Love this song, and pretty much all David Bowie did. Amazing artist that was able to reinvent himself over and over. He took big risks that eventually paid off.

Woah, I didn’t even realize that about his eyes! So cool!
Oh next song of David Bowie’s should be Ashes to Ashes!! In this, he goes full circle like 10 years and sings about Major Tom!! Or if you want to stay in the same era his song Starman is a good next one 🌟💫⭐️
Awww I was devastated when he died..
He's the best
Miss David Bowie 😣💗
He was a chameleon and was at the forefront of androgyny Hope you have a good week
Same to you!
Check out Panic in Detroit and Rebel Rebel, which are glam rock classics.

@@chrisf.7980 Okay, but hear me out:
Cocaine
Milk
Red Peppers
They call this the Bowie Special! 😏
@Chris Meadows Are they offering that as an early bird special anywhere? 😂
Oh my goodness!!! Have you never heard this? I thought you’d be all over this??? Love David Bowie and how open minded you are to try this, I hope you enjoyed ♥️♥️♥️
My father gave me this single and it was my treasure!
All Bowie's recordings are pure genius, so I wouldn't know where to begin for a suggestion. "Ashes to ashes" is definitely a masterpiece.
This is his Ziggy Stardust days. Love this song. My most favorite Bowie song is a Tie between Fame & Let's Dance. Though I think I like Let's Dance a little more.
Please react to Cygnet Committee from the same record. It's the album's epic and an absolute masterpiece. You'll definitely enjoy it. ❤
Please React to "Modern Love" by David Bowie. Also "Let's Dance".
The song was orginially release in 1969 and played on British TV for the lunar landing. With his popularity rising after Ziggy Stardust, the song was released in 1972.
One interesting thing to point out here is that this video was made about 10 years before mtv came out and gave a venue for music videos.
And all this in 1972. No autotune!
I love Bowie.!! Ashes To Ashes, you should hear
"Lady Grinning Soul"
💖 for react. This means being creative. Today there is the show but there's no Music.
The discography is made to please a zombie audience.
Thank you for watching!
I would recommend you discover David’s work in chronological order, to fully experience the audacity (or his boredom!) of his artistic evolution.
Bowie was inspired to write this after seeing Stanley Kubrick's film, 2001 A Space Odyssey .
One of fav songs bowie made was The Man Who Sold the World. Check it out
cannot hear this song without thinking of the tinkerbell fight in supernatural, dude. man you need to watch that little scene if you haven't already.
Hi! I was just watching your britney reactions and found you uploaded this today, my favourite artist..Can I recommend you Fame or Life on Mars?
Sure thing! Thank you so much for watching!
Love David Bowie.. they away said he was Bi... I can't say for sure..not my place to but I love Bowie... look up Fame.. you will like it love you..
The music is from 1969. This Video came three years later.
I suggest you check out Fame, Heroes and Golden Years❤️
I enjoy how you observe and seem to have knowledge about musical and production techniques. Do you do any work with music yourself, Marshmallow? Or perhaps play an instrument?
Thank you! I dabble in music production and singing as hobbies, actually! 🙂
He was dressing not boy not girl.. make up.. long before any else.. he got hell for being different...he stepped out front... long before it was even half way acceptable
Earth is flat said Major Tom
Can you please react to David bowie and Mick jagger „dancing in the streets“ it’s a cover and I can’t get the music video off my mind it’s so random. Or „let‘s dance“ or „life on Mars“ if you want
