| David Bowie – Station to Station Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| @[JourdainB:2919] I think "The European Canon" is a reference to the 70s German bands who so heavily influenced Bowie in this period, such as Kraftwerk, La Düsseldorf and others. The word "canon" here is a musical term, meaning a body of musical works which typify a musical style or generation. Bowie once described La Düsseldorf as "the soundtrack of the eighties". I think he's saying that these European bands will have a huge impact. He was right. | |
