Billy Corgan and David Bowie

The Quote from Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins on David Bowie’s 1977 album, Low: ”The touchstone of what I would call the modern futurism in rock — and a feeling and a sound that is yet to be fully realized. It’s still emerging in the years to come. A watershed moment.”

New to David Bowie? Start Here: Virtually every Bowie offering is unique, so why not start with a 38 track best of sampler? Best of Bowie is a re-mastered treasure chest of some of the most groundbreaking music of the last 40 years. It drops you off into the still-trippy Space Oddity and then walks you through Bowie’s wonderful glam/pop/punk playground one hit at a time. You’ll sing along with All the Young Dudes, play air guitar on Rebel, Rebel, snap your fingers to Under Pressure and be tempted to cross-dress to Fashion. OK, maybe you’ll pass on the last one, but you get the idea.
