He's got better footwork.
6th round
Knock out

easily, Why? Heroes, Low, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Ziggy Stardust. need we say more?

He's in Flight of the Conchords therefore wins. :D

however Reed is relatively unexplored territory for me. Berlin is a fucking cracker though. Verdict: indecision.

I love them both but I have to go with my Mom- David Bowie. But I'm spending summers with Dad- Lou.

Though I should really get more of both

If so easy win to him, if not it will go to Bowie.
I prefer Transformer to any Bowie album but that and Berlin aside Lou's solo career is far to pathy to moun t a serious challenge.
But if you let me have Velvet Underground then it's an easy win they just about invented anything good in music.

Bowie's work in the 70s is the single greatest artistic contribution in all of mankind.

Reed and VU i got into at a fairly early age and only got into Bowie during my late teens, so gun to the head my heart lies with Lou... need to get into more Bowie i feel

then Bowie wins by a long way. If they do then the decision becomes a lot more difficult, though Bowie might still edge it (because Cale > Reed)

but i'm going for Bowie

but then I thought of Bowie in Labyrinth so that decided it. Bowie it is then.

Just very good at spotting trends.
His two most creative periods were with collaborators (Ronson & Eno). I like Bowie but the question mark remains of how much he bought to the table.

It's a freakeh dream!

I've been in love with him since he did that introduction thing on The Snowman with his little blue scarf and twinkly eyes. I can't remember just how young I was but that section of the VHS must have been weary from constant playing and rewinding.

Lou Reed is ace though.

well velvet underground did but bowie is still better more depth but vevet underground better then Bowie

the buldge wins.

The only album (solo) that Lou Reed has done to rival Bowies 'good' material is Transformer - and this was co-written by Ronson and produced by Bowie (I think).
