J is…David Bowie

[K7 Rides Again]

Well, it took some time, and a lot searching and listening, but…

J’s WHERE’D YOU GO is really David Bowie’s ZIGGY STARDUST!!!!

I know, I know, sad…but true none the less. I heard this song about 8 months ago on the radio, and thought "Wow this sure sounds like J!" Then the DJ announced it was actually Bowie. I meant to post it here then, but forgot after a long day at work. It just occured to me the other night, and I’ve been doing a lot of borrowing and listening since.

We all know J covers Bowie’s Quicksand, so does this really come as a surprise?
I also hear a large amount of J’s style in other Bowie works like…

-Queen Bitch
-Hang Onto Yourself

So I was just wondering if you all could come up with any other artists, that you REALLY hear as J’s influences? (besides Neil Young)

I realize we’ve had this topic b4, but I thought I’d fire it up again.

Just listen to Ziggy Stardust, and you’ll see what I mean. If anyone can find a simularity like that….

yeah, I agree there is some similarity to ziggy stardust.. but , hey, all music builds on stuff the composer has heard before..

if we draw the line further out, I would say that everybody let’s me
down , has borrowed some melody from alphavilles ‘forever young’..
