No one better than Bowie during the 70's? Uhm, what about Bolan?
Bolan was excellent and even Bowie's main influence but the student has surpassed the master!
...and my heart goes boom, boom, boom...
But ... TH is an Irish band... very funny lyrics
I can't agree with the "surpassing the master"-bit... Bolan's ten year album run from Tyrannosaurus Rex to Dandy In The Underworld is unparalleled, even some of his later albums which back then were considered comparatively weaker stood the test of time really well and include many great songs, and then there's of course the singles, many of them with top quality non-album b-sides...

Well actually I agree with almost all you wrote! Especially the bold part and that is the same for the Smiths, almost all their B-sides are fantastic... and the Smiths loved Bolan - the song PANIC - Hang the DJ, hang the DJ hang the DJ... burn down the disco... cause the music they constantly play, it says nothing to me about my life... >

rockee, your an ash.
It's nothing to get hung about
Actually, you're both deluded. Bolan was an original and incredibly good fun but comparing him to Bowie is a non-starter. His output was simply not in the same league. There's one record (THE SLIDER) that can be mentioned in the same breath as the Bowie classics, but that's about it.
Actually it would be unfair to dismiss Bolan by mentionning the quality of Bowie's classics since Bolan & Tyrannosaurus Rex/T. Rex were the roots and Bowie took things one step further...
living is easy with eyes closed
And SLIDER's apparently the only Bolan record you know, right?
It's the only Bolan record I own. I know Tyrannasaurus Rex, and Electric Warrior, and Dandy, and some of the singles-only things. Great guitarist, fabulous innovator, but simply not in the same world-class league as Bowie when it comes to song-writing and generally mind-blowing behavior. In this reporter's opinion, of course ...
While I understand your opinion because you don't know the Tanx, Zinc Alloy, Zip Gun, Futuristic Dragon albums and therefore can't compare them to Bowie's output from the same time frame (1973-1976), I don't share it. IMHO, Bowie and Bolan were in the same league, and Bolan's output from 1967 to 1977 is every bit as rich and diverse as Bowie's from the same time frame. The mainly acoustic-based Tyrannosaurus Rex duo output (his first four albums) is mindblowing stuff and totally underrated IMHO.
My wife was at the benefit they performed, even took photos.
Talk about your favorite band.

A Real Stones Fan is....
Someone who knows it's all about the party with great music. That a concert is "an excuse to ball". At a concert he/she will be sexually permissive with loved one or stranger. That it's more about drugs than beer. That you never leave the show for any reason (sex & drugs at seats). That you dress like the rock n roller that you are and not just jeans & t-shirts. You don't get drunk or start fights. You don't hold up silly signs 'like a little girl'. You dance/grind/rock without acting like a fool and never sing or shout to prove you know the words. You remember that people paid a hefty price to hear Mick sing, even the quiet ballads so you don't spoil it for anyone because a Stones fan is not selfish!!!

If we had to praise Bolan for a single thing it would be Bowie's first musical peak around 1971-1972.

The blind girl who hitchhiked to all the Stones shows and made an effort to contact the judge to keep Keith out of jail after the Toronto bust...that's a Real Fan.
Wonder what happened to her? Obviously her disability give her a unique perspective on Stones music ...the modern spectacle would have no meaning to her and the music itself would have to stand on it's own. Is she still attending shows? It would be great to get an interview with her in 2015 and hear her perspective.
Sounds like a job for Swiss!
