Title: David Bowie
Post by: MyGlove on March 13, 2012, 07:36:14 PM
what do you think of David Bowie. I just got Ziggy Stardust and Low on CD and i'm loving them. What's your favorite? Or do you even like him?

I love Bowie very much, despite the fact that he is a plastic sell-out.

My favorite albums would have to be:
1. Ziggy Stardust
2. Station to Station
3. Low

What do you mean a plastic sell out?

He's great. Lots of style and charisma. I wouldn't say he's among my top absolute favourites but I respect him a lot and it's always a pleasure to watch one of his live performances. He really knows how to put on a show.

I own 'Ziggy Stardust', and it definitely is in my top 10 albums ever.

'Hunky Dory', 'Aladdin Sane' and 'Live at Santa Monica '72' are the other Bowie albums I own, and I like those too.

I've always wanted to dig deeper into his stuff, I'm sure there would be tons of surprises, but never got the chance yet.

His 1969-1980 catalog is (almost entirely) indispensable.  That he is a foundational and seminal personality in rock hardly needs to be argued.

This.
Especially Aladdin Sane, Hunky Dory, and Diamond Dogs. There's a lot of great stuff for you to discover.
