This exchange between us is making my telescopic antennae nipples transmit data back to Earth.

I know, I'm picking it up on my LSD screen

I'm jamming out with the Mickjaggernauts.

Do you have one really freaky sequin space suit, man? Or do you have several ch-ch-ch-changes?

Do they smoke grass out in space, Bowie?

Or do they smoke astro-turf?

And yes, the final verse of Bewlay Brothers is pretty horrible, those vocals... but the rest I like.

It's such an artificial high.

Has anyone ever tallied how many times "bitch" appears in Bowie's lyrics?

Homosapiens have outgrown their use.

In a recent Sunday Times the 20 most influential albums of all time were listed as:

The 20 most influential albums

1 The Velvet Underground, The Velvet Underground & Nico Hardly anybody bought it, as the saying goes, but everyone who did formed a band.

2 Beatles, Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Created the idea of using the recording studio as an instrument.

3 David Bowie, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars The arrival of postmodernism in rock’s most glamorous self-fulfilling prophecy.

4 Patti Smith, Horses Pioneered vast new territories for women in popular music.

5 Beach Boys, Pet Sounds The instrumentation, the harmonies, the arrangements, the sheer ambition.

6 Beatles, Revolver Goodbye “pop group”, hello “rock band”.

7 The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Are You Experienced? Shaped our sonic world – the template for guitar heroes everywhere.

8 Bob Dylan, Highway 61 Revisited How does it feel? Like a whole new world just opened up.

9 Public Enemy, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back Hip-hop comes of age.

10 Sex Pistols, Never Mind the Bollocks... Rendered the rock dinosaurs extinct (for a while).

11 Kraftwerk, Trans-Europe Express It sounded like the future then; eerily, it still does now.

12 Michael Jackson, Thriller The last quarter of a century of R&B starts here.

13 Nirvana, Nevermind Rendered the rock dinosaurs extinct (again).

14 NWA, Straight Outta Compton Created the template for gangsta rap.

15 Aretha Franklin, I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You A soul masterpiece, and an album whose anthems radiated out into the wider culture.

16 Ramones, Ramones Rock’s ultimate palate-cleanser. Generations of punks started here.

17 Marvin Gaye, What’s Going On Motown finds its social conscience.

18 The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Gilded Palace of Sin It was largely ignored at the time, but where would alt-country be without it?

19 Bob Marley and the Wailers, Live! Reggae goes global.

20 Joni Mitchell, Blue Searching for sensitive singer-songwriters? Here’s the source.

think I'd have placed #3 at #1, and most certainly have found room for LOW!

phillyfan26 · 02-16-2008, 11:29 PM

I got Station to Station today.

I enjoy everything thoroughly, though Word on a Wing not quite as much.

LemonMelon · 02-16-2008, 11:37 PM

#7 on my top 10 list. It's perfect. Always.

phillyfan26 · 02-16-2008, 11:37 PM

I need to see this list. Stat.

LemonMelon · 02-16-2008, 11:43 PM

1. Beatles - Abbey Road
2. Radiohead - OK Computer
3. U2 - Zooropa
4. Steely Dan - Aja
5. Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy
6. Pink Floyd - Animals
7. David Bowie - Station To Station
8. Beck - Sea Change
9. The Kinks - Village Green Preservation Society
10. REM - Automatic For The People

If you want to tell her that you you love her a lot, you're gonna need a belly full of wine.

lazarus · 02-17-2008, 01:14 AM

I don't know why, but I'm liking Lodger more each time I hear it. I definitely like it better than Heroes, and while I recognize Low as the greater achievement, I find Lodger a more pleasurable listening experience. Yassassin!

Plus, no instrumentals.

I also just got a bootleg from the Reality tour that I need to check out.

Got Reality in the car stereo this week. Really enjoying it after not giving it a whirl in a while. Still think Days is my fave.
