Never let me down is the worst record ever made, and tin machine are irredeemable. It boggles the mind how Bowie became so, so bad. Oh, and Hours is completely forgettable. Not awful, but not good.
Can't really disagree about NLMD, although Time Will Crawl is a great track, & some of the B-sides from that LPs singles are well worth a listen, especially Julie, but Tin Machine is definitely worth a listen to anyone who hasn't heard either album before, both, imo, contain some classics, Prisoner Of Love from the first is regularly on any Bowie playlist I make, as is One Shot, You Belong In Rock 'n' Roll, Shopping For Girls, Goodbye Mr. Ed,....
And as for Hours, along with Space oddity his most under rated album. IMO.
