I think there is some truth it it. If you listen to his first few albums Man Who Sold The World sticks out like a sore thumb. You have him basically doing folky pop on Space Oddity and then on Ziggy Stardust there's still the same sort of thing with a few rock songs as well, and in between that you have Man Who Sold The World which is essentially a heavy rock album. It's a good album but just doesn't really fit what he was doing at the time, you have to think that it's because of outside influence.
