David Bowie was an English singer-songwriter & actor. He constantly reinvented himself to stay current over nearly 5 decades. His first big hit was "Space Oddity" in 1969. He had a lot of great songs including "Ziggy Stardust", "Rebel Rebel", "Young Americans", "Changes", "Fame", "Golden Years", "Ashes To Ashes", "Under Pressure", Let's Dance", "Modern Love", "China Girl", "Heroes" etc. Sadly we lost him in 2016.

David Bowie is like 12 artists in one. Each Era of his is a new persona and a new sound. They are all amazing. I think he may actually have been "a man from mars," You have so much great music to discover in David Bowie. I'm kinda jealous ❤😂😉

Dude, Bowie is perhaps the most diverse musical genius of the past century. Everything from folk to rock to metal to R&B to jazz to avante garde.... He's got SO much music for you to get into!

You’ll hate yourself if you don’t listen to “Young Americans”. A truly awesome song!!!

I’ve been sad when famous people died, but he was, and still is, the only one I have actually cried over🥺😢😭

When you get a chance, you should watch the video of Commander Chris Hadfield (astronaut) performing "Space Oddity" on an acoustic guitar inside the International Space Station. Watching him and his guitar floating in a most unusual way out in space is one of the most surreal cinematic shots ever recorded, it's one of those things that is beautiful for just it's own existence. Thankfully David Bowie was able to see that version of the song performed out in space before he died, and Bowie absolutely loved it. It has 53 million views on youtube.

Tell my wife I love her very much….she knows… Saddest line in the whole song

"Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" Is one of his best albums. The last song on the album "Rock and Roll Suicide" is short simple yet, so powerful!

....As Major Tom floats off into space never to been seen or heard from again..R.I.P. Major Tom 🙏❤️

David Bowie is something beyond comprehension. His catalog is like wandering through some kind of prolonged dream and he is such a fantastic storyteller. He is epic in every way.. I envy you that you get to discover his work. When he passed I had a breakdown in my kitchen. I literally howled. It was like losing my incredibly hot older brother who introduced me to everything that mattered in my life. I have met so many people that feel this way about Bowie. Since Bowie died things haven't been right with the world...

I wouldn't be surprised if you've heard the song "Under Pressure" before which features David Bowie and Freddie Mercury on vocals. On a different note, Christmas was more than a month ago, but next Christmas make sure to check out the amazing video performance of David Bowie and Bing Crosby singing "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy". It will probably become one of your favorite Christmas songs of all time because it is so legendary.

If you're just beginning to discover Bowie you'll find it's a very deep rabbit hole . From The Bewley Brothers to Moonage Daydream to Heroes. Enjoy the trip .

And im floating in a most peculiar way.... And the stars look very different TODAY.....

Ashes to Ashes. A groundbreaking song for its time..

I'm floating in the most peculiar way.

"Heroes" is a must!

So many Bowie songs to choose from. Duets with Freddie Mercury (Under Pressure), with Mick Jagger (Dancin’ in the Street) and favorite go-to’s like Golden Years, Fame, Changes, Young Americans to his 80’s pop stuff like Let’s Dance, Modern Love & China Girl. The man was a genius and you can’t go wrong with any of his work.

Ahh yes a big Bowie fan from day one. Saw him perform this at Radio City Music Hall on his 1st US tour . Ziggy and the Spiders from Mars....👍💖

Col Chris Hadfield recorded a cover of this while he was up in the International Space Station. The video is amazing since you are literally seeing the Earth below him and the stars above. The video was released days before his return. I feared if something horrible happened during his descent, this would be his goodbye. I still tear up seeing that video and happy he made it back safe and sound.

David BRINGS DA FUNK on this MUST HEAR classic,, David Bowie "Fame"..Trust me on this one my music lovin' brother!! 🔥

This song is the beginning of a trilogy of songs that are somewhat autobiographical. This one is a metaphor for his drug habit... it's stunningly sad when you understand the real meaning. The other songs are Ashes to Ashes and Darkstar, all done years apart, and all very poingant.

For another side of Bowie, the movie Labyrinth is a MUST. It's a dark Jim Henson flick aimed at kids in the 80s. Friggin fantastic.

This song always takes me back to another time and space. When I was eight years old.

Bowie is one of the greats

THIS is one of my FAVS by BOWIE!! Also love Diamond Dogs of his older stuff....really love ANY BOWIE...all the way to Dark Star!! WE MISS YOU, DAVID!! RIP! Thanks, Polo!!

I've never been such a big Bowie fan, but I like a few of his songs, including this one. I recommend "Let's Dance" 🙂👍

I was seven years old the first time I heard Bowie and was mesmerized . I would not be who I am without him.

Alot of these songs are like short stories and the musicians are incredible IMHO.

Bowie's greatest hit. 'Panic in Detroit' and 'Wild is the wind' are also gems. By the way Polo, you did react to Bowie's 'Heroes' and 'Under pressure' with Freddy Mercury.

Every song of his is different. This was his first hit. Blackstar from his last ever album has thick atmosphere as well and is an awesome cap for his career.

Ahhh, Bowie and Zeppelin have been my standards since I was a kid. Their music is in my blood and bones. ❤

This is one of those songs. You know, the kind that demands your complete attention. You have to listen to every second of the song. And then you want to hear it again. Definitely my favorite Bowie song.

This was the first song I heard from David Bowie, and it was an amazing introduction. Every time it played on the radio I was hypnotized.

David Bowie. A rock icon. So many great tunes, "Five Years", "Rock N Roll Suicide", "Aladdin Sane", "Lady Grinning Soul", "Sweet Thing", "Word on a Wing", "Loving the Alien", "Absolute Beginners", & "No Control". Still listening in 2024.

Ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars, song and album both are tremendous

Polo, Bowie has a Truly Amazing catalog of music 🎶, he was always Re-inventing himself. He was a Great Man also. He was married to the stunning model Iman 😍.

What ever song you are listening to of David Bowie, you’re listening to the future. And listening to them now, you still are. Bowie is still the future of music. Genius.

I recently listened to all 26 of his studio albums in chronological order over several months and came to the conclusion that he was the greatest recording artist off all time

Every year my appreciation of David Bowie grows a bit more . Anyone looking for a musical adventure should start with his first album and go through album by album taking time to appreciate one of the most amazing artists ever.

Had the good fortune to see David Bowie on his "Glass Spider" tour from the fourth row at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, Pa., and it was a spectacle. He even had Peter Frampton come out and play on a few songs. I can't remember if he played "Space Oddity", I doubt it, he like to move forward, and wasn't much for a "greatest hits" show. Still awesome.

You might like a song called suffragette City by Bowie. It's a real rocker! Peace!

I think David Bowie was ethereal and may have been from another world. Love his music.

This was truly an oddity when it was released in 1969 - just weeks before the Apollo 11 moon mission was scheduled to launch. KUDOS for listening over and over so many times. One of my favorite Bowie songs remains GOLDEN YEARS, from his 10th album Station To Station (1976).

One of the best there ever was. David Bowie. I grew up listening to him. Had his posters on my wall as a teenager. Heartbroken when he died.

I saw David Bowie in concert in Seattle in the early 2000’s. A Great concert for sure! Rest in Peace, David Bowie, a musical genius. ❤

Bowie was an extraordinary artist and song writer, other-worldly at times. My son has been discovering the music his ‘oldie’ mother and this track was the first I showed him and it blew his mind, and down the rabbit hole he has gone. Bowie reinvented himself and evolved over the decades, so there is a treasure trove of great songs to explore, enjoy!!

Polo I really don't think you have any idea about the volume of great music that was written in 3 to 4 decades of Rock. Bowie has an incredible and deep catalog for you to explore.

David Bowie has an incredible catalog. In addition to the songs mentioned by others, there’s a fantastic song he wrote and sang, done with the Pat Metheny Group called “This is Not America”, from the movie Falcon and The Snowman. I think you’ll really enjoy it. ❤

I saw Bowie on every tour he ever did in the U.S. since Ziggy Stardust(73). Usually multiple times. I've seen him at least 60 times. My favorite artist.

Duets with Mick Jagger and Freddie Mercury are aqesome!! I saw Bowie in his Glass Spider tour, what a great entertainer!!

My favorite is from a much later Bowie era. It’s from the album 1.Outside and is called “Strangers When We Meet”.

I'm tripping. Out of all the 40 years I've listened to this song, I've never realized how awesome the jazz percussion is on this song!

The thing that really gets me is that this was released right before Apollo 11 launched--just a few days, in fact. Can you imagine if any of the astronauts had heard it before the mission? What would that have been like for them? I've just always wondered about that.

DB was a Genius. Timeless. ‘Life on mars’ seminal

If you haven't, go check out Labyrinth. He's in the movie & he sings a few songs in it. If you've seen a movie called A Knight's Tale w/ Heath Ledger, he did the song Golden Years...which BTW I've heard he wrote for Elvis cause they were supposedly gonna do an album together, but never got the chance cause Elvis died. Other good songs are Under Pressure which he sang w/ Queen, Let's Dance, & Changes.

I love this song it stirs a lot of emotions in my heart.❤️ it is truly a musical masterpiece .

Can't go wrong with nearly any David Bowie. Definitely recommend Rock N Roll Suicide as the last song of the amazing Ziggy Stardust album.

I miss David Bowie so much. I think that’s all that needs to be said. His absence has left a void.

This was the beginning of Bowie's long string of hits. Try "Heroes" and "Stay" among so many other great songs by him. Also "Ziggy Stardust" for sure!

What a lovely reaction!! Love your style Polo. Thank you.

This track was inspired by & in tribute to David Bowie's "Space Oddity" is,, Peter Schilling "Major Tom" (Coming Home)..It's well worth your time & a listen. 🚀 👨‍🚀

Rock and roll suicide and Life on Mars are masterpieces that you really need to hear.

You must see Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield doing a cover of this tune from the ISS. He also did a series of videos showing how tears work in space and other curiosities while he was commander.

Polo, I’m home from work (grind) and finally got to watch your reaction to this song; what wonderful, in depth commentary, beginning with waking up from a nap to the smell of food cooking. Bowie certainly set the perfect stage for this brilliant song. Thank you so much for your reactions, Polo ❤

As a teenager in the seventies there were so many bands to fall in love with, Bowie was one of my favourites. Check out a few of his other songs such as Lady Grinning Soul, Sweet Thing , Ashes to Ashes.. I could go on forever, he's incredible.

David Bowie lived near me and used to play in the park bandstand at lunchtimes. He was an intensely shy and private young man, and he got over it by creating masks for him to wear when he performs. So you'll see him adopt personas throughout his career, but you'll never get to know the real him. A legend and an enigma.

I had the pleasure of seeing him live once with Peter Gabriel and the Tubes as the opening acts, great concert. You don’t have to react to this but I think you might enjoy Chris Hadfield performing those on the International Space Station.

Strap on your crash helmet for the amazing ride that is the Late and VERY Great Mr. David Bowie. He was and always will be one of the names that truly changed the shape and directions in Rock and Roll. I'm sure once you start listening you'll understand why.

David Bowie didn’t just reinvent himself he reinvented EVERYONE.

This song was released five days before the first moon landing in 1969. It was such a magical and riveting time and captured the attention of the whole world, what a huge achievement for humankind if NASA could pull it off. For 200000 years, humans had been contemplating and living by the cycles of the moon and in 1969 an explorer would actually set foot on the moon. Wow! Bowie was astute and made this song to coincide with this historical event, not knowing if the astronauts would succeed or perish trying. He was almost completely unknown at this time, this song left a huge impression and is still moving to this day. A star was born!!!

You're on 🔥 Polo. First under pressure with Queen and David Bowie and now my favorite song.

Some great David Bowie tracks... Life on Mars, Rock n Roll Suicide, Moonage Daydream, Changes, Starman, Man Who Sold the World

I'm 71, and still love this.

Very cool way to produce your video. with a super-post reaction. Like it

David Bowie is very talented. He has evolved, changed and expanded his music over the years from 1967 until his recent death. I bought his 1974 album David Live and I liked it, and he has generated good music since then. Great showman.

Heroes. That's the one you should listen to next.

HI POLO GREETINGS FROM ENGLAND 🇬🇧 AND BOWIE IS AN ICONIC ENGLISH SINGER AND HE CONTINUALLY CHANGED HIS STYLE OF MUSIC THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE AND HE WAS AN ABSOLUTE GENIUS WITH HIS SONGS 🎵 AND YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT BOWIE SINGING HIS SONG "HEROES" AT THE LIVE AID CONCERT IN 1985 AND THIS IS BOWIE AT HIS ABSOLUTE BEST AND A TRULY GREAT LIVE PERFORMANCE AND ITS SO WORTH WATCHING.

Golden years,rebel rebel, let's dance,all the young dudes

I love this song, and Ive floated in most peculiar ways

dude to live in a time when people were being thrown into space for research reasons and to write a "pop" song about it is crazy to me. slightly before my time but timeless in its creation

Bowie has a lot of hits and when you are impressed you start finding the truly great stuff

Happy to continue watching your journey learning some of the best music

David’s songwriting here is genius. His lyrics and the sound he created just fit perfectly. I like the way you reacted after several listens.

Just wait'll you hear the sick groove on the sequel that dropped all of 11 years later ---it's called "Ashes to Ashes," and the fact that it sprang from the same mind and voice will leave you speechless. That's kind of a Bowie thing.

I love David Bowie! I got to see him live in Calgary, Alberta in 2004 and it was phenomenal!! If you want to watch something special, watch "Bowie at the Beeb" concert video here on YT :)

Oh my goodness. Polo I had no idea you had never heard this or Bowie 😮 I would have sent you down the rabbit hole a long time ago ❤

Bowie has always been one of my favorites

"Lady ,GRINNING SOUL" and "Time"..2 masterpieces

GREAT reaction Polo!! A deep dive into Bowie will be well worth the journey! He's known as The Chameleon for a reason - he takes on the persona in each album/song. Whether it be Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Insane, Thin White Duke, etc...he IS the character! HIGHLY recommend: The Man Who Sold The World, Let's Dance, Moonage Daydream, Modern Love, Starman, China Girl... His brilliance & charisma will forever be missed!! RIP David! Cheers Polo!

All his material is great… but great song for an introduction ❤

I swear Bowie just takes you THERE. Wherever there is.

You should probably do Ziggy Stardust next. Or Ashes to Ashes.

You put a lot of effort into this video. A review of a review means a lot of editing and it’s greatly appreciated!

I still mourn the thin white duke this many years after his death. I used to imagine he was singing to me as a child (of maybe 5 or 6) in the 80s. My all time love.

This totally blew me away when I first heard it back on it's release as a single. His music has grown with me ever since.

My man!!!!❤ been in love with him for 41 years!!!!!

Amazingly, Major Tom survived, and tells his story 15 years later in "Ashes to Ashes." What a genius Mr Bowie was!

I saw the Victoria and Albert museum retrospective 15 yrs ago. It was AMAZING! I'm a Bowie fan and I never realised just how many songs of his I knew.

You are so respectful in when and where you stop the music to respond. I appreciate that. I recommended an artist, Joss Stone, on one of the older reaction I recently found. After listening to her this afternoon, I change my rec to her song Spoiled. You will love it. BTW, if you like reading, David Bowie's bio is astonishing, he put himself in the industry by sheer genius and talent.
