Bowie Golden Years
From Thin White Duke to new romantic icon, the years between 1974 and 1980 were a creative peak in the life and times of Dame David Bowie. Rather than deal with his entire career this fansite celebrates those golden years in excellent detail. On top of the music he also made an iconic film (The Man Who Fell To Earth), starred as The Elephant Man on Broadway, relocated to Berlin and was involved in numerous controversies, including the alleged Nazi salute at Victoria Station. There are no video or audio clips, but you'll find an incredible number of photos, screengrabs and interviews; begin with his 1976 Playboy conversation for an example of how candid and ahead of his time he was.
