You can't lose with Bowie, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and onward. He never stopped making amazing music and he never stopped changing, always had a new look and sound to go with that era.
Man he's new to you? Only one of the great rock and roll artists in history. Ok so there's Suffragette City, Ziggy Stardust, Changes, Starman, Young Americans, Fame, Under Pressure with Freddy Mercury, Heroes, Rebel Rebel, I'm Afraid of Americans, and so many more. Welcome to the David Bowie rabbit hole, you're in for a treat, my Bros!
Kind of saddening to me how everybody is just mentioning the obvious ones. Nobody mentions masterpieces like "Station To Station", "Stay", or "Cygnet Committee" among many other Tunes I consider way superior to his Radio Hits lol. But you can't go wrong with Bowie either way, I guess.
@@j.j.4150 I hear you. These aren't the usual for these bros. though. I've always found the songs on the albums, no matter who the artist, to be better than the ones that got all the radio play. That's where the gold lays.
@@DawnSuttonfabfour - Sequels nearly always come out years later. It's the very nature of sequels to do so. Whether in film, literature or music. If it comes out at the same time, it's not a sequel. ;) :)
"If we go into space, we should play this song." Here's Commander Chris Hadfield's performance of the song he did on the ISS: czcams.com/video/KaOC9danxNo/video.html
Just noticed that this is the first song you react from David Bowie? My god, he is one of the greatest artists in modern music history. The masterpieces from this man are endless!!! You are so lucky to hear for the first time Ashes to Ashes, The man who solved the world, Starman, Heroes, Ziggy Stardust, Time etc... There is no end!
David was a G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time). This is one of my favorites'-David paying homage to space travelers. I am 65 years old so I was lucky enough to know the music of the last 60 years👍🏾👵🏿🎶🤗.
Boys you have to realize the time in history. The space race was on, man had just walked on the moon. Bowie was called the chameleon always changing. His last album came out 2 days before his death. Major Tom was still there. 🔥
Classic! The ever changing, brilliant, iconic artistry of David Bowie. He was my first concert...he was amazing. This was a nice surprise, today. Thankyou Bro's, enjoyed your reactions.❤😊
THIS man is the greatest showman ever. You will have to keep an open mind and trust Bowie fans to guide you. Bowie fans guided me not so long ago and I had alot of years to catch up on.
Space Oddity was the first top 40 hit for David Bowie in the USA. It was a top 15 hit for him. The album version is longer. A few years before this, David Bowie produced the top 40 hit by Mott The Hoople called All The Young Dudes.
I saw many concerts. This was the first concert that put on a theatrical show. During this song he flew over the crowd in a cherry picker. It was the first time we saw him play this song. We all thought the same as you....wants going on?
Ahhh Bowie, One of the greatest Artists ever. Now you have to listen to his best songs. Here they are. - Heroes - Life on Mars - Ziggy Strardust - Absolute beginner - Ashes to Ashes - Alladin Zane That enough for know, Mush more Bowie masterpieces after you have listened to those.
This was written and released right at the same time Apollo 11 landed and Kubrick’s 2001 A Space Odyssey came out. What a freakin’ time to be young! Are you kidding me??? Written from the perspective of the lonely astronaut floating in a tin can, depending on his electronic guidance. If you want a rocker from Bowie, try The Gene Genie for sure! Keep bangin’ my Brothers!
About time I saw a David Bowie from you two awesome reactionaries. I think Bowie is the greatest musical artist who ever walked the planet. Ten thousand years from now people will still be talking about how incredible he is.
@Zoey The Savannah Hi! I'm Jen! Is your name Zoey? Thanks so much for messaging! I'm such a huge music fan it's almost embarrassing. When I'm not watching it - I've got my earbuds in listening to it - when neither, I'm reading about it. 🤦♀️ Maybe I need therapy! 🤣 Thanks for your super sweet compliment. You just made my day! David was such a chameleon, wasn't he? He was a master at evolving which is why I put 2 70's songs & 2 80's songs so maybe we could discuss that. Glad you liked my 80's suggestions. IG me if you want - JENNHURL
Bowie- he’s all by himself in my opinion. He wrote into the history of progressive rock music like none other. RIP one of the best songwriters ever.🎼🎶🎵🎸🎤🎹🎧🔥😎on the vocals alone....but then the arrangement......oh my goodness.
It's great that you're reacting to David Bowie songs and this one in particular. He was so influential in the 60s and 70s and beyond and I must have had loads of his songs. This one definitely takes you on a trip into outer space or beyond. You just go with it and enjoy.The film 2001 A Space Odyssey came out in 1968 and this song was released in 1969 so I reckon this was based on the movie. I loved songs like Jean Genie, Heroes, Rebel Rebel, Ziggy Stardust, Oh You Pretty Things, honestly the list is endless! David Bowie was a master at changing his image and sound, I think he was a genius at what he did! You're right, George, 70s rock is brilliant - so much experimentation was going on, bands finding their niche if you like and of course with all the different instruments making psychedelic sounds, it was like nothing we'd ever heard before!! Loads of new bands starting up, we were really spoilt! I'm so glad you've started doing reactions for David Bowie, I'm sure you will do plenty more. I so enjoyed your reaction to this one, George and Patrick, obviously something new for you and it's great you really got into it! All the best.
David Bowie was the most diverse musician ever. He never looked or sounded the same on each progressive record he released - he had a new persona each time.
This song is actually from 1969, the same year as the first moon landing, so it would be more accurate to say that it anticipated the music of the 1970s. That is certainly no surprise, as David Bowie was an innovator and managed to stay a little ahead of his time throughout his career. He was one of the great geniuses of classic rock.
Space Oddity was David Bowie's first single to chart, and this was 1969, just before the 70's. Can you imagine a song this good as your introduction to the world? This song spring-boarded him instantly to mega stardom.
*David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust* 🔥 *David Bowie - Starman* *David Bowie - Moonage Daydream* David did some songs about George Orwell and the USSR too.... ‘1984’ and ‘Big Brother’
Saw him in concert, Sydney 2004, Amazing! I have 11 LPs and that only covers up to 1979!!! His songs have been heard in so many tv commercials. It's everywhere
This was actually released in 1969, just before the Apollo11 Moon landing. It was his first major international hit. He went on to become one of the most innovative and influential music artists of all-time! He was hugely respected within the music industry. He's one of the giants of modern popular music! During the 70s he'd adopt a different persona for 2 or 3 albums and would become that character for that period. His two most famous alter-egos are 'Ziggy Stardust' and the 'Thin White Duke'. The 'Major Tom', mentioned in this song, has his story continued, more than a decade later, in Bowie's song 'Ashes to Ashes'. It was a huge hit too. He's had so many hits, over the decades, that it's hard to know where to start. As well as Ashes to Ashes, I'd also recommend 'Wild is the Wind'. It showcases his vocal ability and is a beautiful song. Just make sure it's the, slightly longer, album version. Of course, you can't look into Bowie, without listening to his album, 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars'. It's one of the most influential albums in music history. It marks the height of glam rock and parts of it envision punk, well before punk rock happens. If the dictionary ever needs a good definition of 'cool' it could just have a picture of Bowie. He remained the epitome of cool, throughout his long career. An intelligent and witty man, when he died it was headline news around the World. World leaders, including the Pope and Barack Obama, paid tribute to him and the British Parliament tok time to pay tribute too, as did virtually every major star in the music industry. He's sorely missed. He was unique and we won't see his like again.
Bowie was a fantastic entertainer. I saw him many times in concert and, similar to the Talking Heads, it's performance art. Bowie is one of those performers who reinvented his persona many times. The Major Tom character has surface a few times throughout the decades but space references were found all the way to his last album, Blackstar. His performance in the film The Man Who Fell To Earth was as an alien.
David Bowie is a legend. The Queen vid u two just reacted to..Under Pressure.. Bowie co-wrote the song with Freddie Mercury. He has a plethora of great songs! Thanks for reacting to this vid!
This man was a class act, "young Americans, diamond dogs, suffragette city,rebel rebel, the jean Jeanne,China girl" and so many more, ashes to ashes is the follow up song to this...Great reaction as usual guys.
Arguably one of the greatest artists of our time. i'd argue that he IS the greatest. such a large, strange, unique and diverse body of work he left. PLEASE domore bowie. This one was his first hit released in '69....right around the time of the moon landing. it took him a few years to have more success...then BOOM !!! i would recommend checking out his stuff in chronological order...maybe a few songs from each album. (if not the WHOLE album)....this way you get to see just how drastically he would change every album or two. amazing stuff...
EVERYONE always does this song, but Starman is my favorite, please!! Bowie is a legend, I adored him. Golden Years, Young Americans, Changes, Life on Mars, Time, the entire Ziggy Stardust album. He's was a true artist.
You're only grazing the surface with Bowie. There is so much mind blowing stuff from him that you have yet to discover. You're going to have so much fun! Peace!
Before you get started on a ton of space-related songs, I wanna let you know only about a dozen Bowie songs out of 400 are involved with space. His career was incredibly diverse, so you'll hear a ton of songs about other things. This music video came out 4 years after the song and had nothing to do with Ziggy Stardust, and I'm glad you used a thumbnail for the right era, because there's an earlier music video for the demo version where he was more of a hippie. I strongly recommend you check out some of his different material as well as the songs people have mentioned. My picks for you two are: Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud from the same record All the Madmen from The Man Who Sold the World Hang on to Yourself from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars Lady Grinning Soul from Aladdin Sane We Are the Dead from Diamond Dogs Win from Young Americans Sons of the Silent Age from Heroes Teenage Wildlife from Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) Loving the Alien from Tonight As the World Falls Down from the Labyrinth Soundtrack Seven Years in Tibet from Earthling Bring Me the Disco King from Reality You Feel So Lonely You Could Die from The Next Day If you pick any of these songs, whichever sound the most interesting to you, I can guarantee you'll be stunned. Keep up the great work! ❤
I walked past a Record shop on a Sunday morning, East Lane Market, and saw the album cover, went in and listened, coz you could do that, to the 12" record, coz that was the 'Thing', and I was blown away with. So I did the right thing and stole the album and took it home!!!
So many amazing songs Bowie made! Ashes to Ashes Heros Changes Ziggy Stardust Life on Mars Fame And so many more... He helpt also Iggy Pop and Loo Reed to find the success. And he wrote the song which is my favorite performance of Nirvana : "The Man Who Sold The World" And I'd forget his last album "Blackstar" exit few days before his death. A pure gem.
Thought I would catch you here, your reaction to "traffic" lead singer steve winwood was playing keyboard on your reaction to " While my guitar gently weeps".. Bowie masterful on space oddity, so many different sides to him. Such a loss.
You can't lose with Bowie, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and onward. He never stopped making amazing music and he never stopped changing, always had a new look and sound to go with that era.
“Life on Mars” next. Trust me on this.
Plssss
Immediately followed by starman
Life on Mars was, is , and will always be cool
Oh yeah great shout, a classic, along with The Jean Genie, and Rebel Rebel
@@simply_psi Moon age daydream !!!
to this day....i still get chills when he says....your circuits dead, theres something wrong.....
Have you reacted to Fame by David Bowie? It is an ICON of a song.
Bowie!! Awesomeness!! Golden Years, Fashion, Changes, Jean Genie...just to start.
David Bowie "Let's Dance" please!
Man he's new to you? Only one of the great rock and roll artists in history. Ok so there's Suffragette City, Ziggy Stardust, Changes, Starman, Young Americans, Fame, Under Pressure with Freddy Mercury, Heroes, Rebel Rebel, I'm Afraid of Americans, and so many more.

What samsbro1952 said. Every song he mentioned - PLUS The Jean Genie, Station to Station, and more recent Bowie - "China Girl" and "Modern Love".
@@j.j.4150 Worthy songs, can't mention all of them, there's only so many hours in a day!
@@j.j.4150 I love Janine and many from his d Ziggy Stardust album and Honky Dory
@@j.j.4150 I hear you. These aren't the usual for these bros. though. I've always found the songs on the albums, no matter who the artist, to be better than the ones that got all the radio play. That's where the gold lays.
"Music is the cheapest way to travel", I love that, and Bowie WILL take you places, in all different directions, seriously, he will.
Bros, this is his first big one. Released in 1969. His 70s catalogue later nothing but brilliance
David Bowie the most creative musician that ever lived no question
No question. Absolutely.
Ashes To Ashes is the sequel to this. Also worth a listen.
Sequel is bit misleading, considering how much later it came out.
@@DawnSuttonfabfour - Sequels nearly always come out years later. It's the very nature of sequels to do so. Whether in film, literature or music. If it comes out at the same time, it's not a sequel. ;) :)
@@Codex7777 You must not know about horror films.
Black Star completed the trilogy.
Awesome song. I like it better than this but my journey to David Bowie has too long a story to tell.
A 50 year career and one of the greatest rock icons ever! This was 60s
David Bowie was a genius

As you get older he gets better. I’m a child of the 60s and 70s and he was the soundtrack to my youth. What an amazing talent. 😀
Under Pressure by queen was song by Bowie and Freddie Mercury together in the studio version
by Bowie and Queen :)
The bass riff was famously stolen by Vanilla Ice who they sued for it.

"Hunky Dory" is my favorite Bowie album..Can't go wrong with any track on it.
THIS man is the greatest showman ever. You will have to keep an open mind and trust Bowie fans to guide you. Bowie fans guided me not so long ago and I had alot of years to catch up on.
Astronaut Chris Hadfield already performed this on the space station.
REALLY?
@@WisdomKeeper11 Yea, the video is on CZcams.
David Bowie had very good way of taking people on a virtual visual trip with the lyrics and sound effects!
YES, finally Bowie. Would love "Moonage Daydream" next.
Yes!!! I love the concert footage with the kids doing all the expressions
And this is 1969 Bowie! You have soooo much to know about Bowie, Wow, I envy you the trip. Minds will be blown.
A real classic from a legendary artist. Enjoy it!!
"Here am I FLOATING round my tin can"......Major Tom is floating away in space. Great tune. Bowie is so good! Always changing.
Space Oddity was the first top 40 hit for David Bowie in the USA. It was a top 15 hit for him. The album version is longer. A few years before this, David Bowie produced the top 40 hit by Mott The Hoople called All The Young Dudes.
Mito. Grande. Iconoclasta. A mis 16 años escuchar Ziggie Stardust fue toda una experiencia que no olvido.
I saw many concerts. This was the first concert that put on a theatrical show. During this song he flew over the crowd in a cherry picker. It was the first time we saw him play this song. We all thought the same as you....wants going on?
You can take this song on a few levels: a trip into space, a drug trip, or even an allegory for each of us isolated and adrift in the world.
Ahhh Bowie, One of the greatest Artists ever. Now you have to listen to his best songs. Here they are.
- Heroes
- Life on Mars
- Ziggy Strardust
- Absolute beginner
- Ashes to Ashes
- Alladin Zane
That enough for know, Mush more Bowie masterpieces after you have listened to those.
So, you think those are all better compositions than something like "Station To Station"😂😂😂.
Best is definitely a bold statement when there are over 300 other songs and some of them started entire movements.
Would love to see more Bowie!
Gotta love the 70’s!!!! When music was music
David crossed so many Genres. Good luck and enjoy the journey
This was written and released right at the same time Apollo 11 landed and Kubrick’s 2001 A Space Odyssey came out. What a freakin’ time to be young! Are you kidding me??? Written from the perspective of the lonely astronaut floating in a tin can, depending on his electronic guidance.
If you want a rocker from Bowie, try The Gene Genie for sure! Keep bangin’ my Brothers!
*Jean Genie... One of my favourites too! :)
Much love from Illinois! Great comment!
I'm 55 years old. Been a Bowie fan since forever. First seven albums are all great.
It HAS really been played on space. Bowie is genius!!
About time I saw a David Bowie from you two awesome reactionaries. I think Bowie is the greatest musical artist who ever walked the planet. Ten thousand years from now people will still be talking about how incredible he is.
Great reactions!! David Bowie was a master of disguise!
One of the most versatile singers. Bowie could move from one genre to another at the flip of a coin and never blink an eye! This song is great.
Bowie was a ground-breaker. Way ahead of the times.
Bowie songs:
- 70's "Fame" & "Heroes"
- 80's "China Girl" & "Modern Love"
"Fame" is so crazy funky & David's
voice in "China Girl" is so so sultry!

Great stuff from Bowie in the 80's "Modern Love" and "Let's Dance"
Interesting fact, Stevie Ray Vaughan played on "Let's Dance".
@@steveullrich7737 I just learned that within the last 5 years, it is interesting though.
thank you.
Major Tom is also mentioned in "Ashes to Ashes", "Hallo Spaceboy", and "Blackstar"
David wasn't made for our world. He understood life, but that was what broke him. Rest in peace
We played this at my father in law’s funeral. Lol! He was a very quirky man and he loved this song. I’m sure it made him very happy. ❤️❤️❤️
Bowie’s back catalog is massive. He’s a legend! Check out “Ashes to Ashes”, “Fame”, “Young Americans”, etc etc.
He stars in the movie "The Man Who Fell to Earth". He plays an alien. It's well done and worth a watch.
Bowie- he’s all by himself in my opinion. He wrote into the history of progressive rock music like none other. RIP one of the best songwriters ever.🎼🎶🎵🎸🎤🎹🎧🔥😎on the vocals alone....but then the arrangement......oh my goodness.

If you're just getting started with Bowie you should do 5 Years next. Right up your alley.
“Music is the cheapest way to travel”. You should put that on shirts.
I have no words as far as Bowie is concerned. LEGENDARY is the best I can do.
Bowie was a genius
"Let's dance", "Bird on a wire"..."Lazarus". RIP Bowie🖤
A Canadian astronaut sang this on camera from space...I’m glad Bowie lived to see it...🖖🏻🇨🇦🥰💥
Performance artistry in its infancy! Enough said!
now you've got to listen to part two of this song ashes to ashes which is even better imo
bowies first uk no1 if I'm not mistaken 1980
I love how people are so confused and often ask what is going on? When they discover Bowie for the first time.
*David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust* 🔥
*David Bowie - Starman*
*David Bowie - Moonage Daydream*
David did some songs about George Orwell and the USSR too.... ‘1984’ and ‘Big Brother’
Music is the cheapest way to travel. I love it! Cheers!
Saw him in concert, Sydney 2004, Amazing!
I have 11 LPs and that only covers up to 1979!!!

David Bowie was never that young.
I had totally forgotten about that song.
Thanks guys!
Our pleasure!
Before you get started on a ton of space-related songs, I wanna let you know only about a dozen Bowie songs out of 400 are involved with space. His career was incredibly diverse, so you'll hear a ton of songs about other things. This music video came out 4 years after the song and had nothing to do with Ziggy Stardust, and I'm glad you used a thumbnail for the right era, because there's an earlier music video for the demo version where he was more of a hippie. I strongly recommend you check out some of his different material as well as the songs people have mentioned.
My picks for you two are:
Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud from the same record
All the Madmen from The Man Who Sold the World
Hang on to Yourself from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars
Lady Grinning Soul from Aladdin Sane
We Are the Dead from Diamond Dogs
Win from Young Americans
Sons of the Silent Age from Heroes
Teenage Wildlife from Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)
Loving the Alien from Tonight
As the World Falls Down from the Labyrinth Soundtrack
Seven Years in Tibet from Earthling
Bring Me the Disco King from Reality
You Feel So Lonely You Could Die from The Next Day
If you pick any of these songs, whichever sound the most interesting to you, I can guarantee you'll be stunned. Keep up the great work! ❤
Such a beautiful song.

Fame
And so many more...
He helpt also Iggy Pop and Loo Reed to find the success.
And he wrote the song which is my favorite performance of Nirvana : "The Man Who Sold The World"
