One Hundred Records That Rocked David Bowie's World: Which music artists influenced David Bowie? What records did he listen to on repeat during his youth and beyond? Who were his favorite songwriters? What were his favorites? And besides, in the case of such an artist, unique in his genres from the beginning to the end of his career, is the term "influences" the right one? By studying Bowie's work, we learned that throughout his evolution, even if he was the type to pick and choose from a little bit everywhere, he was mostly inspired by himself. The hundred records in this panorama, which he would certainly have described as ideal (we know from a reliable source that he owned at least two-thirds of them), but which in no way claims to be exhaustive, marked the artistic journey and, quite simply, the life of David Bowie. The music lover that he remained until the end of his life owed them a lot.
