David Bowie had a career in music that was influential in shaping the world of modern rock and pop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was never one to fit in with the status quo or do what was expected. No, it was entirely opposite. He never cared about how he looked to others. David Bowie came onto the music scene with an outlandish style and unique voices that soon paved the way for more incredible talent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My truth is this. I was never much of a Bowie fan when I first caught a flame for rock \u2018n roll. No, my first influences were country through my parents and self discovered artists such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billyjoel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Billy Joel<\/a>, Genesis, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beegees.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Bee Gees<\/a> (yes, and I still love them!) and of course, the Beatles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is always going to be great debate about how much influence artists had on future artists. Probably best to just let the artists speak for themselves on how much they were influenced by any one artist. I discovered David Bowie in 1983 after the release of his the debut solo album, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Let%27s_Dance_(David_Bowie_album)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Let\u2019s Dance<\/a>\u201d. There was this girl, she loved David Bowie, so of course I immersed myself in that album and actually found joy in discovering more of his earlier stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ok so as the title of this post reads, here are 5 artists whose work was influenced by David Bowie\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top 5 Artists Influenced by David Bowie<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. The Smiths, Morrissey<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2012 in a radio interview <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morrissey-solo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Morrissey<\/a> sites David Bowie as one of the artists that he is indebted to. The two would go on to become old friends until Bowies passing in January 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a 2017 Rolling Stone magazine Morrissey, ever himself as outrageous as David Bowie had been, told contributing editor <a href=\"https:\/\/ferret-parrotfish-8fmn.squarespace.com\/lifestyle\/ROB%20SHEFFIELD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rob Sheffield<\/a> <strong><em>\u201cHe must surely be happy now. Music is eternity, and there he is, now, very much in it. I don\u2019t imagine he wanted anything else from life\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though relations between the two men were not always good, in fact there was a scathing call out of Bowie by Morrissey, who suggested in an interview that Bowie was no longer the artist he once was. He went on saying <strong><em>\u201che gives people what he thinks will make them happy, and they&#8217;re yawning their heads off.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>It ended with him proclaiming that Bowie was not relevant and had only become relevant by accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDavid [Bowie] quietly tells me, \u2018You know, I\u2019ve had so much sex and drugs that I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m still alive,\u2019 and I loudly tell him, \u2018You know, I\u2019ve had SO LITTLE sex and drugs that I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m still alive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014 Morrissey, Autobiography<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Smiths - How Soon Is Now?

The Cure, Robert Smith<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecure.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Cure\u2019s<\/a> Robert Smith was hugely influenced by David Bowie and will often speak to this during interviews. As a child he discovered David Bowie and described the experience of discovering Bowie like this <strong><em>\u201cDavid Bowie was probably the first artist that I felt was mine. He was singing to me<\/em><\/strong>.<strong><em>\u201d<\/em><\/strong> The first vinyl purchase Smith made was Bowie\u2019s 1972 release, Ziggy Stardust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The post-punk icon, Smith, describes being drawn into Bowies music, like so many others, by the multitude of characters that became apart the ever evolving career made of of different characters and changes which helped him rise to the top of music charts across several decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robet Smith\u2019s dream came true in New York City when he was asked to sing with Bowie at his 50th birthday party! From a young fan in the 70\u2019s and an album that changed his life. Bowie\u2019s sound patented the Cure\u2019s doom and gloom sound of the 80\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI listened to music before Bowie, obviously. I have an older brother and he played me Hendrix, Cream and Captain Beefheart\u2026 all that type of stuff from the 1960s but David Bowie was probably the first artist that I felt was mine. He was singing to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014 Robert Smith, the Cure<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Cure perform &quot;Just Like Heaven&quot; at the 2019 Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9NuNPc160K0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cure, Just Like Heaven<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Madonna<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.madonna.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madonna<\/a> gave a speech inducting David Bowie into the music Hall of Fame in 1996, where she credited him with changing her life, proclaiming he taught her everything. The woman who in the 80\u2019s and 90s can be credited with single handedly changing the way modern rock concerts are performed, gave the nod to her greatest influence, David Bowie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the story goes, her and a friend snuck out of the house when she was 15 years old to see her first concert. A David Bowie concert her father already said there was \u201cno way in hell\u201d she would be going. Her father\u2019s refusal encouraged her all the more to take the risk and go. Of course she got caught and spent that summer grounded. In her own words <strong><em>\u201cit was worth every minute that I suffered in my house that summer\u201d<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Madonna patterned her chameleonic stage personas after Bowie. She immediately saw that he created and used his personas as part of the art. \u201c<strong><em>I found him so inspiring and innovative. Unique and provocative. A real genius<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d Many artists like Madonna have credited David Bowie with being very provocative for the time, embracing and toying with the ideologies of gender. The realms in between and around masculine and feminine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When she heard the news that January 10th, 2016 she <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Madonna\/status\/686474254431432704\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sent out the following tweet<\/a> celebrating his life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDavid Bowie Changed the Course of My Life Forever.

Motley Crue, Nikki Sixx<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=4KY1x6CFCb8\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nikki Sixx on David Bowie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This man right here hugely influenced and shaped the types of music I enjoyed when I was a 16 year old in Weston, Toronto. I fell hard for the music that is Motley Crue is famous for now. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nikki_Sixx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nikki Sixx<\/a> has long credited David Bowie with being a huge influence in his music. Yeah, it seems hard to make the leap from David Bowie to Motley Crue, but as Nikki describes above, it is there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When looking to make a great band, Nikki described such a band that would be like David Bowie and the Sex Pistols thrown into a blender with Black Sabbath. What a mix right? Truthfully, if I am listening to a song like \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Live_Wire_(M%C3%B6tley_Cr%C3%BCe_song)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Live Wire<\/a>\u201d I feel that is exactly what I am getting. The song is early raw and hard Crue. It tastes heavily of metal and punk. An homage almost to Sabbath and the Sex Pistols. Especially in that messy energy that drives straight through the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The words used by Nikki Sixx after learning of Bowie\u2019s passing, just 2 days after his 69th birthday. \u201c<strong><em>Bowie not only inspired me as a songwriter but inspired me to add layers to my creativity as an artist<\/em><\/strong>\u201d aptly describes Nikki\u2019s fondness for David Bowie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the musical influence in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motley.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Motley Crue<\/a> and other hair bands, well\u2026 Look at a number of the early 80\u2019s hair bands. Present in most of the videos was a strong androgynous teased hair, tights as pants and makeup. The best evidence, Poison\u2019s 1986 \u201cLook What the Cat Dragged In\u201d! Those four boys were looking pretty feminine and masculine all at one. I mean Brett Micheals used to be so pretty! My own gender confused heart was in full crush mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBowie showed us that it\u2019s not only important to evolve as artists but mandatory&#8230; Bowie was my hero and always will be\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014 Nikki Sixx, Motley Crue<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce - Home Sweet Home (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gmrh42foUsg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Home Sweet Home &#8211; Motley Crue<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1.

Here is an NPR article that describes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2011\/09\/19\/140487084\/the-mix-50-artists-who-inspired-kurt-cobain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">50 Artists who Inspired Kurt Cobain<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nirvana recorded a cover of David Bowie\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Man_Who_Sold_the_World_(song)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Man Who Sold the World<\/a>\u201d, an electrifying version that was released on November 19, 1993 just about 5 months before Cobain\u2019s sudden and unexpected death at age 27. If you think about it the song, a story of a man who no longer recognizes himself as he looks at his reflection in the mirror. Somehow fittingly poignant if you consider the timing and what Kurt was experiencing personally before his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bowie himself had described the version by Nirvana as \u201c<strong><em>heartfelt<\/em><\/strong>\u201d noting that \u201c<strong><em>until the cover, it had not occurred to me that I was part of America\u2019s musical landscape.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was simply blown away when I found that Kurt Cobain liked my work, and have always wanted to talk to him about his reasons for covering \u2018The Man Who Sold the World\u2019\u201d and that \u201cit was a good straight forward rendition and sounded somehow very honest.
