Shouldn't even respon with that OP.

But if you're going to sell out, I don't think a bizarre 1980s puppet musical about a creepy maze is the way you do it...

From glam rock pioneer, groundbreaker, to a children’s movie

Had a friend back in the day that swore this was when Bowie sold out.

Bowie was one of those exceptionally rare artists who never have to sell out, because they can be as weird and offputting as they want and the public will still eat it up. Bowie never went mainstream. Mainstream went Bowie.

Here is David Bowie the hippie in 1971



That's the year he saw an unsigned band called Roxy Music and stole the wardrobe of their lead singer Bryan Ferry. Bowie decided he would dress like Bryan Ferry and write songs like Lou Reed. Is theft selling out?

If you are going down that road, put Led Zeppelin and Van Halen at the front of that line, ahead of Bowie.

This might make sense in a Zep thread

actually I like Bowie (early '70s Bowie, at least)

and is Bowie really "universally loved"?

I do look cool tho
