The "Weirdo Trio"

[spacel0rd]

Let’s call them the “Weirdo Trio” (and I mean that in a good way).
These different guys have done some great music…as well as some music that was as questionable as their sexual preference.
Witch one did/do you like most?

[HARD ROCK UNIVERSE]

Depends. Bowie had some killer albums back in the 70's, and Mick Ronson was the perfect counterpart for him, but Lou Reed had at least one excellent album with the live 'Rock N Roll Animal,' which features fantastic playing by guitarists Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner, who would shortly go on to Alice Cooper. Iggy was awesome with The Stooges, but I don't care for his solo work as much. All around, Bowie, but Reed's 'Rock N Roll Animal' definitely has the best guitar playing.

David Bowie, the re-invent-able man.

I am not a big fan of any of these guys but David has a few good songs.

This is pretty tough but it does say"favorite" so I have to go with Iggy.I've seen all 3 in concert & all 3 were amazing.I've never experienced anything like an Iggy show & I've seen Lou Reed,The Ramones,Johnny Thunders,& David Johansen(all which were awesome shows).Check out his "Live at Avenue B" DVD & you will see probably the most explosive show of Raw Power.Nightwatcher was right on with Lou Reed's "R & R Animal" album.I had gotten into that album because of the guitars but I then realized what a great songwriter he is.Bowie is a legend & the time I did see him was in Toronto on his "Serious Moonlight" tour.
The great thing about that show was that Mick Ronson came up & jammed "Jean Genie" with him.Actually on Iggy's Lust For Life Tour,Bowie toured with him & played keyboards in his band(but kind of played in the background).

No sweat on this. Reed was always overrated in my opinion. Iggy was a blip on the rock'n'roll screen...

Bowie (from the 70's) easily.

I gotta agree.

I went with Iggy out of the 3 I listen to him more.

Close call this one but Iggy just nicks it for me. Both him and Bowie have had their rockin' and non rockin' periods but I think Iggy was just that bit more full on. And he still rocks today

[otcconan]

I can't stand any of them. But I vote for Bowie based on Tin Machine. That was kick ass.

[caljam]

Not a fan of any, but I liked the Underground, so I went with Reed.

[frehleyscomic]

I'll go with Ziggy Stardust. I really can't stand the other 2 at all, sorry.

Same here,they all need help failing that lock 'em up in the Loony Bin

Bowie- recycled pretensious git -get a life mate
Iggy Pop-busy cutting himself with broken glass needs help big time,seen him being interviewed,he wasn't quite there
Lou Reed-maybe he's a she ;D

[Rush862]

Bowie for me, but I like all three of them

Gotta love Bowie!

As hokey as it may have seemed to some, as well as his earlier work, I always liked his "Blue Jean" tune...thought it was pretty good. Was it Disco?...New Wave??? Punk???...Rock???...nope!...it was pure Bowie all the way.

I also love the fact that he had no qualms in changing his stage name at the behest of that little upstart "Davey Jones" from The Monkees and still blew them out of the water even when he (Bowie) wasn't recording...hahaha.

(Don't get me wrong...I like The Monkees)...just like the story behind the name game thing...haha.

Thanks
Kim
