Who influenced Bowie influenced 80's

["Mark R. Leaman" <bushchoked@xxxxxxxxx>]

See, I wouldn't know that. Got into Bowie after this was all ancient
history.

Uh...ANCIENT??????????? Be-otch....

Well, that's why different perspectives are valuable and important on a list like this. I heard it when it came out, thought it was some of the strangest music I'd ever heard and DEFINITELY acid-friendly music, and after a while I began to realize it was more than that. Most people are at LEAST familiar with Nirvana's excellent version of Man Who Sold The World. There's some damned good music on that Bowie album.

friends listened to at the time, it was pretty obscure in relation to the
commercial products of say 1980-ish.

You know, I'm surprised to see that. The way I see it, the 80's music was essentially based on two artists. The New Wave music was primarily based on Bowie. I guess I needn't mention Gary Numan and The Stranglers and bands like that...too obvious. Stone Roses, Cure, Depeche Mode...there are plenty of examples. Hair Metal, on the other hand, was based on Zeppelin. As tranlated through Van Halen first. Yes, these are generalizations before I get clobbered for saying them.

The 90's belonged to The Who. Pearl Jam, STP, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden.

Way to slide in some Who content.  ;-)

It's what I do best.

No comment. :-)

Are you trying to start another "Pete is gay" thread?
