Does anyone actually like David Bowie? I've never met anyone who does.

It's alright. When you guys become teenagers or enter puberty lots of changes will occur and you'll start seeing things differently. Maybe you'll meet some new people with creative interests.

lol... like Good Charlotte.

These kids are hopeless.

Why do they pick such bad songs? I can understand Bowie, but pick some popular songs.

Bowie is the shit and all but can we get some metal? They should have genre packs and or have the fans vote on songs that should be released.

"Does anyone actually like David Bowie? I've never met anyone who does."

Is this serious? I mean, really? I know more people that like Bowie than don't. And those who don't typically aren't even familiar with much of anything he's done.

I'm only interested in the one that isn't a cover, myself. The guy they had cover Ziggy Stardust in GH1 wasn't that great so I'm not optimistic about these.

Heroes and Moonage Daydream are reasonably popular songs, in any case. There's others I'd like to see before Heroes, but Moonage Daydream has some fun guitar work in it and it's definitely fun to sing.

Hey Gemini, my name is itsburnsie, and I like David Bowie.

There, now you've met someone who likes David Bowie.

/One of the songs should have been Ziggy Stardust
//Favorite track from the original GH

I am really looking forward to Moonage Daydream. My band used to play that song, and it was a lot of fun. I'd buy the 3-pack if Heroes wasn't a cover (Robert Fripp, FTW!), but unless I can hear the cover first, I don't really think it's worth the cost/risk.

Magic Dance would be awesome.

I wouldn't mind Chilly Down either.

@4 You did not just compare Good Charlotte to David Bowie, at least he had talent at some point while the other idiots... meh.

Bowie is awesome. For some reason I always saw him as the Peter O'Toole of rock n' roll. Those people who only know him since the pop album "Let's Dance" don't understand what this guy is about. Setting aside his later pop albums, he was always way ahead of the curve. Ziggy Stardust was released in 1972(!), and is up there with Dark Side of the Moon in terms of cutting edge albums.

Moonage Daydream is great (although I would have picked Five Years over it), but Queen Bitch is what I was waiting for. Hunky Dory is a great album and Queen Bitch is the rocking song on the album. I am CRUSHED that it is a cover and not original, particularly given the quality (or lack thereof - i.e, vocals) some of the covers on rock band. I just don't get the Heroes pick (it is fairly repetitive and flat) -- I would have gone with something else from that time period, i.e., Fame, or Rebel Rebel.

I sincerely hope that when the Grateful Dead songs are released they are not covers - I don't think I could bear it.

@12 um exactly, I didn't compare them at all. I actually was making fun of what 'kids-these-days' think of as creative interests.... wow. I thought the sarcasm was dripping from the comment, but maybe you are just dense.

I have around 20 Bowie CDs, some records, a few t-shirts, all the dvds (the video collection and ziggy stardust ones are priceless), and a promotional cardboard cut-out.

My dog is named Dorsey after his current bass player.

I'm a fan.

Can we all agree about one thing? Music is subjective, and that's what makes it great.

You're going to either like something or hate something. Just because some of the younger folks around here haven't heard of Bowie doesn't mean that "Kids these days know jack shit about good music."

Music is in the ear of the listener, so long as there is someone out there to appreciate it, it's good.

Not everyone can appreciate a Rembrandt, doesn't mean the guy was a bad painter.

Some people need to get over themselves and their pretentious attitudes towards music.

no disrespect intended. i just hear too many people whine about musical tastes.

That’s pretty freaky, Bowie
Isn’t it cold out in space, Bowie?
Do you want to borrow my jumper, Bowie?
Does the space cold make your nipples go pointy, Bowie?
Do you use your pointy nipples as telescopic antennae to transmit data back to
Earth?
Bet you do, you freaky old bastard you
Hey Bowie, do you have one really funky sequined space suit?
Or do you have several ch-changes?
Do you smoke grass out in space, Bowie?
Or do they smoke Astroturf?
Ooh!
Receiving transmission from David Bowie’s nipple antennae
Do you read me, Lieutenant Bowie?
This is Bowie to Bowie
Do you hear me out there, man?
This is Bowie back to Bowie
I read you loud and clear, man
Ooh yeah, man!
Your signal’s weak on my radar screen
How far out are you, man?
I’m pretty far out
That’s pretty far out, man
Ooh- ah- ooh!
I’m orbiting Pluto
Ooh- ah- ooh!
Drawn in by its groovitational
(Groovitational pull)
I’m jamming out with the Mick Jagger-nauts
Ooh, and they think it’s pretty cool

Bowie is awesome. The Man Who Sold The World & Hunky Dory are such great albums. Kids these days know jack shit about good music.
