David Bowie had a prolific music career spanning decades where he released 12 albums in 10 years. Throughout his career, he frequently changed his image and musical style from album to album, ranging from glam rock to soul. Some of his most well-known albums include The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, and Young Americans. However, Bowie also struggled with cocaine addiction in the 1970s that caused paranoid behavior and drug-induced issues. Overall, Bowie is seen as pioneering postmodern music through his experimentation and persona changes, despite some personal troubles.
