Description
In this book, I analyze all the music David Bowie released between his debut in 1964 and his death in 2016: every song on every album, every A-side and B-side, and every soundtrack contribution. I attempt to communicate which Bowie songs best capture why he mattered as an artist; which are gems that have largely remained hidden; and which are best avoided unless you're writing a book like this one or trying to get someone to leave the room.
When a Bowie song is an all-time classic, I describe not just what works about it, but why it's continued to matter to millions of people, decades after Bowie recorded it. When a song is lazy or uninspired, I express my disappointment as honestly and fairly as I can.
If you already know most of David Bowie's music, then my goal is to reintroduce you to it. And if I can add an extra layer to your appreciation of David Bowie's best music, shine a light in a few places you hadn't thought to look, and use his mistakes to give you insight into his artistic process, then I'll have accomplished what I set out to accomplish.
