Band Biography
David Bowie is known for changing his persona every few albums. He's been Ziggy Stardust and The Thin White Duke, among other, nameless-but-still-different personas. Similarly, his music changes as well; sometimes he's ahead of the curve, and other times he's mirroring what else is going on in the culture. During the 1980s, he had some Pop records that made him an even bigger star in the US, although most people consider his glory days to be in the 1970s (although his 2002 album Heathen is very well regarded). He's also done much in the way of visual art and acting in films.
