The inspiration and the elements that David Bowie used from other important artist in that time.
Sid Barret
The first inspiration from David Bowie was Sid Barret from the Pink Floyd. How he had walked away, and how he slowly became mad. This was a huge starting inspiration for David Bowie.
But this was only one character. David Bowie was searching for success, he did this by finding new people and important people in the music would, who he could let himself be inspired by.
The Velvet Underground
In 1971 he went to New York, and David Bowie started to use elements from The Velvet Underground. He started a band. He thought the sound from the Underground was amazing, a mix of rock and avant-garde. With inspiration from the Underground he started with making a rock band with a difference --> 'Hype'. This was the turnings point in Bowies career. He started to make rock music like he had never done. That is why one of the main elements David Bowie had taken from the Velvet Underground was his cool-streetwise rock.
