Most /fa/ David Bowie period?

While I do like the over the top glamour of the Ziggy and Aladdin Sane characters, the most /fa/ has to be the Thin White Duke, right?

>who made a handful of halfway decent songs
He was one of the most prolific and well known musicians to come out of his time and continued to be throughout his life. His discography is fucking huge, and despite music changing, he changed with it and continued to chart in the top 10 for more than 4 decades. He never got old.

But the characters are probably why he's so well remembered. He put on a show that was larger than life and stage. He blurred the lines of sexuality.

Was also actually a good actor and artist. Made some cool shit and "Man Who Fell to Earth" is fuckin bomb.

My man was cool as fuck, changed shit up in a big way, freaked a lot of people out, did a ton of blow, and influenced everything to come after him.

He made those comments at the peak of his cocaine addiction in a Playboy interview after saying he'd love to prime minister. If you read the whole thing it seems like he's talking about a coked out form of accelerationism, complaining that liberals are too slow to act. He retracted the comments a year later anyways.

>>13289247
He tried fucking dudes and said it wasn't for him, which is hilarious.

If I'm being completely honest I can't tell the difference between the Ziggy and Aladdin characters. Or if Aladdin is even a different character. It's Ziggy with a different name after America drove him insane.

He was actually really talented and intelligent, cool concepts in projects. Sad death. Releases an album about facing him facing his mortality and dies just 2 days later. The public didn't know about his liver cancer. Made listening to the album hard, his last messages and goodbye, still making music as he wasted away. Fucking legend.
