>> David Bowie's music is unremarkable
The Spiders from Mars music on the Ziggy album is remarkable. The remarkable role that Bowie played was as a connector.
Some rock stars get lucky, get rich and famous, and then decide they are going to shoot up as much heroin as possible before they die. David Bowie got lucky and decided to use his fame to make the world a little bit closer to the way he wanted it to be.
I never would have heard of Mark Ronson without Bowie, never would have heard of Brian Eno, might not have heard of Iggy Pop. Probably would have heard of Lou Reed but who knows. Those people made remarkable music. Bowie helped get them in the spotlight.
But yeah, I haven't listened to "Let's Dance" in many years.
