Not an album but an artist. David Bowie.

I can understand, stylistically he’s a chameleon and I only like his work from certain periods.

I'm really into some artists that cite him as a major inspiration and influence. So it baffles me too.

I find with stuff like this it's important to understand the context of when it first came out. Had a neighbor say he didn't get the appeal of the Ramones because a lot of bands sound similar. I told him when the Ramones came out NOBODY sounded like that. Another is David Letterman. By the time he retired he was nothing special but when he first started it was groundbreaking.
