David Bowie (Official Thread)

Everyone is just in a Bowie mood I guess.

Personally LG, I'd put "Reality" (which came out almost ten years ago at this point) at a tie with "Earthling" as Bowie's best albums since the early 80's. It's definitely a very good album that I'd recommend checking out.

I like Reality as well. PIcked it up not too long ago.

Of all people I should have known you'd have it, Priest.

In the 20 year period that David was releasing albums in after the early 80's they were kind of hit and miss but "Earthing", "Reality", and "Heathen" were all really great.

Here's a good one from the latter, "Afraid"....

I'll have to give both a listen. Thanks for the recs.

You're welcome. Lemme know what you think.

I love Bowie, got all his albums. My personal favourite solo artist of the 70's (even better than Elton and Stevie Wonder in the 70's).
However, i don't rate his music too highly post Scary Monsters, he was spent after the 70's (like The Stones).
The Tin Machine albums were decent, and i like some of his indiviual songs from 1981 onwards, but as far as albums go, nah.
One of the reasons i rank Elton a little higher than Bowie overall is Elton made some fine albums after his prime.

Decided to finally listen to Bowie yesterday, and holy shit he's good!
I heard space oddity first, and I thought it was strange. I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. But after listening to it a couple of more times, it became one of my favorite songs instantly.

I just get this happy feeling when I hear it, and I just have to sing along to it. Kind of like bohemian rhapsody.

He has got many other awesome songs as well. And they all get better and better the more I listen to them.

Rock and Roll With Me



Fantastic track from Diamond Dogs

How about this for a slice of awesomeness and humbleness. A young David Bowie writes to his first American fan.

That is pretty cool Beethoven, I've never written a letter to any of my favorite musicians.
