Regarding Bowie, you have to consider not only the time he
was recording but also the sheer volume of work he has
produced. Say what you want about him or about his music,
but his influence, particularly in the mid-late 70's, to
electronic music is fairly significant.

Interesting that you like only the most accessible, most
commercial work of his.

There are so many facets to music, recordings, and sound
that this comment doesn't make a lot of sense to me. In
fact, some of the most notable catalysts in modern music
have less to do with slick production and engineering and
more to do with new ideas and lo-fi sensibility. Witness
house music and the beginnings of Detroit techno for an
example of this (also punk, ska, rock and roll, etc.).
Check out Station to Station (1976) or Low (1977) -- these
are two of my favorite albums of Bowie's.
