David Bowie adopted his stage name to avoid confusion with a member of which band?

The Monkees TV show was a huge hit when I was young. Loved it!

Very colorful and talented with great songs.

I love his work and songs, expecially from the 70's.

David Bowie was very talented. I also liked the Monkees tv show.

Some of their early songs written by the great Neil Diamond

Player #7719043, Hip hop emerged in 1978 and grunge culture in the mid-1980s well after David Bowie renamed himself.

I've often wondered if there was a connection to the Bowie knife. Now I know!!

I'm a fan of both Bowie and the Monkees. Lucky to meet Micky when I was 14. A sweetheart.

?bigglesal54?, I was already in High School and didn't appreciate the Monkees as much as my younger sisters. However later I became interested in Micheal Nesmith's solo work as well as his advancement in the production and later importance given to the Music Video as an art form.

one of his best albums... Live at the Philadelphia Towers... Cracked Actor... listen to it!

great music,thanks man

So did David Bowie pronounce it Bowie or boo'wy. As jim Bowie pronounced it. Boo-wie
