Comment:
By an artists’ first album, their influences are usually set in stone, and their career builds on that solid — solid[i]ified[/i] — foundation. Not so with Bowie. Like an avalanche, he’s swept up everything in his path . . . and keeps on charging. After hearing an eyeliner-wearing hell-raiser named Little Richard, whose [i]wop-bop-a-loo-bop[/i]-ing “Tutti Frutti” changed the face of rock, he “bought a saxophone and came into the music business.” Anthony Newley was already a huge stage star in Britain when his show-stopping “Lumbered” incited Bowie to write a debut album “full of really weird Newley-style songs with lyrics about lesbians in the army and cannibals.” But the Velvet Underground’s “Sweet Jane,” with its dirty-sexy mix of art and punk, saved him from a lifetime of Tony® Awards and dropped him on the wild side’s catwalk. And in the mid-’90s, Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer” sharpened Bowie’s aggro-industrial tendencies to a Reznor edge. Even when most of his peers have calcified in their own image, Bowie continues listening and keeps evolving; from Chuck Berry to Kraftwerk and beyond, we’ve got what’s on [i]his[/i] iPod.
