Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This persona wears a white shirt and black waistcoat and trousers, has slicked-back blonde hair (sometimes with bits of red at the front) and is not the happiest Bowie character.

Answer: Thin White Duke

The Thin White Duke hit his pinnacle in the mid-seventies, is strongly connected (some would say disconnected!) with 'The Man Who Fell To Earth', and 'his' album is the soul-funk 'Station to Station'.

2. This Bowie incarnation is probably the most famous. He is fond of wearing knitted all-in-ones and is an alien from outer space!

Answer: Ziggy Stardust

Of course, it's Ziggy Stardust, with his 'Spiders from Mars'. Shame on any Bowie fans who got this wrong!

3. This Bowie is fond of experimental music, lives in a European city separated by a wall and loves to produce Iggy Pop albums.

Answer: Berlin Bowie

This is my favourite Bowie, for music anyway. The 'Berlin Trilogy' of albums were not actually all produced in Berlin - 'Low' was recorded in the Chateau d'Herouville, France, and 'Lodger' was not entirely produced in Berlin.

4. This Bowie lives in New York with a happy family and likes to cover songs about famous cubist artists.

Answer: 2000s Bowie

The famous cubist was Pablo Picasso, a song by Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers, which was also covered by John Cale. It's one of my favourite modern Bowie songs.

5. This Bowie is dressed as a Pierrot-type figure, confronts a certain Major from his past and sings about Teenage Wildlife.

Answer: Scary Monsters Bowie

Of course it's Major Tom he sings about in his classic track 'Ashes To Ashes'. I've just realised that most of my Bowies sound like Ken dolls - 'Hey Mom, can I have Berlin Bowie for Christmas?' How cool would it be if you could buy them all? Hee hee.
