Even before there’s Nirvana, Pearl Jam and, godforbid, Lady Gaga, punk rock was already widespread across mainstream radios in the 80’s. Mainly an underground phenomena to begin with, alternative/punk rock (which was once called “indie”) was primarily limited to independent record labels and college radio stations, at least in the US. Here in UK, however, punk rock had greater exposure through British national radios and weekly music press. It is in the late 70’s and early 80’s that the people have come to know the names David Bowie, Blondie, Guns and Roses, The Rolling Stores (not the magazine), among others. And don’t you dare tell me you don’t know these gods and goddesses.

In honor of these rock stars who moved up the ladder from being our fathers and mothers’ radio heros to our very own rock and roll legends, we will be doing a series on 80’s rock stars, courtesy of our friends from House of the Gods, who have been known for their unique music industry fashion. :)

To start off, check out these David Bowie shirts.

Ten things about David Bowie:

1. 1969 - David Bowie first caught the eye and ear of the public when the song “Space Oddity” reached the top five of the UK singles chart.
2. 1972 - Emerged during the glam rock era as the flamboyant, androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust, a short-lived persona that epitomised a career often marked by musical innovation, reinvention, and visual presentation.
3. 1975 - Achieved his first major American crossover success with the number-one single, “Fame”, co-written by John Lenon.
4. 1977 - With his record label, American fans, and thriving career, he recorded the minimalist album, “Low”, the first of three collaborations with Brian Eno, which reached the UK Top Five.
5. 1980 - Garnered UK number ones with the single “Ashes to Ashes” and its parent album, “Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps).
6. 1981 - Paired with Queen for the UK chart-topping single “Under Pressure”
7. 1983 - Reached his commercial peak with the album “Let’s Dance”.
8. 1990’s to 2000’s - He continued to experiment with various musical styles, with his last recorded album, “Reality” in 2003.
9. 2004 - Rolling Stone magazine ranked him 39th on their list of the 100 Greatest Rock Artists of All Time.
10. Throughout his career, he has sold an estimated 136 million albums, and ranks among the ten best-selling acts in UK pop history.
