Among the most influential musicians of the century, Bowie has managed to stay at the top of the charts for more than thirty years largely due to his talent for modifying his persona with characters like 1972's Ziggy Stardust and The Thin White Duke. Emerging as a Mod out of Brixton, London at 19, he is best known for his role in the Glam movement of the early 1970s. Born David Robert Haywood Jones on January 8th, 1947, he changed his name in 1966 in order to avoid confusion with Monkees lead singer Davey Jones. Bowie has one perpetually dilated eye (which gives the appearance of two different colours) due to a schoolyard fight.

Excessively talented and attractive singer/actor with more influence on music than possibly any other musician in the history of time. Some of his best albums include Low, Outside, and Reality.

One of the greatest musicians ever, if not the greatest. Even after his mega-glory days he still is a god in his own right. He did a few songs with the industrial band Nine Inch Nails which were good. He is also possibly the sexiest man alive. I would totally do him.

A god of rock who is also "really really handsomely good-looking" and has a fantastic sense of humour.
"Did you know David Bowie was a big fan of Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett? He covered Barrett's song See Emily Play."
"Nope, but I know he was in the movie Zoolander."
