Why Bowie Still Matters - Part 2

Ongoing History of New Music

David Bowie wasn’t just a rock star...he was a cultural architect who reinvented music, fashion, and identity.

In part 2 of "Why Bowie Still Matters", we explore Bowie’s groundbreaking mid-70s to early-80s era: from the cocaine-fueled chaos of Station to Station and the birth of the Thin White Duke, his "Berlin Trilogy" with Brian Eno that shaped post-punk and electronic music. And we’ll explore how albums like LowHeroes, and Lodger influenced everyone from Joy Division to Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Radiohead and others.

Meanwhile, Bowie’s constant creativity sparked movements like New Wave and the New Romantics. And then we reach Bowie’s bold reinvention...again... in the 90s with Tin Machine and Trent Reznor.
