Biography

The cliché about David Bowie says he's a musical chameleon, adapting himself according to fashion and trends. While such a criticism is too glib, there's no denying that Bowie demonstrated remarkable skill for perceiving musical trends at his peak. Each one of his phases in the '70s sparked a number of subgenres, including punk, new wave, goth rock, new romantic, and electronica. Bowie was still at the height of his powers during the early '80s, yet following his 1983 blockbuster dance-pop album, Let's Dance, he slowly sank into mediocrity before salvaging his career in the early '90s. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
