8 moments from David Bowie’s career that go down in music history

 

6-  “Fame” (1975)

 

With John Lennon singing backup, 1975’s “Fame” made Bowie a household name in the United States. 25 years later, Bowie told Q Magazine about his views on fame, saying, “I think fame itself is not a rewarding thing. The most you can say is that it gets you a seat in restaurants.”

 

7- “Ziggy Stardust” (1972)

In the early ’70s, Bowie adopted the persona of Ziggy Stardust, an androgynous rock star alien who came to Earth to operate as a messenger for extra-terrestrials. His 1972 album, The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars, solidified Bowie an international star, forever changing the landscape of rock’n’roll. Bowie’s alien persona translated to a leading role in the 1975 science fiction film, The Man Who Fell To Earth.

 

8- “Space Oddity” (1969)

 

Before the mainstream success of Ziggy Stardust, David Bowie introduced the world to Major Tom, a fictional astronaut and the protagonist throughout the Space Oddityalbum. Appropriately, Bowie released “Space Oddity” just weeks before the moon landing. He always was ahead of his time.
