the nature boy song from moulin rouge a while back was very scott walker. that album also had one of the best covers ive heard of bowie or otherwise by beck of diamond dogs, produced by timbaland. if you ever wondered what timbo and bowie might have done, thats probably as close as youre going to get.
id personally like bowie to do a more modern scott walker type of record.
I disagree, because I feel like he's not... This is convoluted, but bear with me. I feel like as opposed to Scott being a psychological gross expansionist of Pop (A song like say, Jesse being "Jailhouse Rock" expanded beyond it's borders into something gross and disproportionate.) Bowie is so much more conventional. Which is obviously not a bad thing, because if everything was like Scott, it'd be the most tedious thing in the world to listen to.
For me, the best future for Bowie would be something that's like... A warped version of Scott 4/Side A of 'Til The Band Comes In, where you have a very unique sounding adult contemporary record. Because he is a pop star and in many ways, all his experimental interests doesn't change that. He should feel more like a bridge and neither close and relate-able or completely adrift.
