There's only so much of that music I can take... I don't think I'll ever be a big fan of Eno's solo work.

You should check out Here Come The Warm Jets. I think you'd change your mind rather quickly. :wink:
 
Teenage Wildlife off of Scary Monsters is also a pretty good track.

And no one should forget his version of All the Young Dudes.

Making a compilation for a friend. It's all hits, pretty much, but I put Queen Bitch, Diamond Dogs, and Stay on there simply because they're so awesome.

1. Diamond Dogs (Best Of Bowie version with "This ain't rock n' roll...this is GENOCIDE!11!1" at the beginning)
2. Rebel Rebel
3. Moonage Daydream
4. Panic In Detroit
5. Fame
6. Golden Years
7. Queen Bitch
8. Sound And Vision
9. Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)
10. Let's Dance (single edit)
11. Changes
12. The Jean Genie
13. Suffragette City
14. Stay
15. Ziggy Stardust
16. "Heroes" (full-length album version, bitches)

A compilation of hits, but no "Space Oddity", "The Man Who Sold The World", "Starman", or "Life On Mars"?

I don't get the love for RnRS. Yeah the outro's awesome, but the rest is meh.

I like the rest. It's simple with good lyrics and (perhaps, most importantly), it doesn't drag. You're to epicness in 90 seconds.

This is true.

I've never heard another 3 minute song as epic as this before.
 
Nor have I.

My current rotation as of late has been "Rock n Roll Suicide," "TVC 15," and "Life on Mars?" from Bowie.

Any Bowie compilation without Life On Mars? is an outright abomination.

Yeah, it's not for me. I'm making it to someone else's tastes.

Besides, unless I make it two discs, a ton of stuff will be missing. That's just the way compilations are. I still hate myself for leaving off Space Oddity.
 
Went on bit of a Bowie shopping spree today

Picked Up Low, Scary Monsters and a double pack which had Outside and Heathen.

Gonna give them a spin later on tonight :)

Okay, gang. I'm gonna get into Bowie now. I'm gonna.

I've got Ziggy and Hunky Dory. I know the hits from Hunky Dory but I haven't rocked the entire thing yet. I pretty much like Ziggy top to bottom.

Am I doing this right? Huh? Where do I go next, guys?
 
Try "Heroes" or Low, they seem right up your alley.

Loved Ziggy, not a big Hunky Dory fan.

Every track on Ziggy kicked ass (except Star, which was average). It's an epic album.

For HD, I liked the first four tracks and Queen Bitch, but the rest was too folky for me.
 
Hunky dory is a bit of a hit and a miss album, After time I have grown to like it, except for "Song for Bob Dylan" and "The Bewlay Brothers",

The rest is pretty good.

Ok my thoughts

Low-Amazing, I loved it the first time i listened to it.

Scary monsters-It's pretty good, Ashes to Ashes is my Fave.

Outside-It's a tad scary, very Brian Eno. It reminds me of the Passengers album he did with U2.
Its a tad strange, but has a few intresting songs, I think its an album that has to grow on a person.

Heathen-Its a nice album, not really my cup of tea though, alot of the songs have the same kind of feel to them, which i find boring.
 
PF26 and LEmel you both need to give Star another spin, it is a terrific song, I adore Star. Hang on to Yourself, at least, is much worse.

And zoobaby you need to listen to Song for Bob Dylan and Bewlay Brothers again.

:sad:
 
anybody in America seen/heard anything of the spice girls current tour, apparently there performing a version of Fashion, just wondered what anybody thinks of it, if they've heard it. I'm struggling to think they'd do it justice, but you never know.
 
Sky channel 111 has an old jonathan ross show with Bowie on tonight at 9, in the UK, I think its the 1 he's promoting Reality on, so should have NKS on, or maybe Rebel Never Get Old, or both?
 
Hang on to Yourself rocks. Star is very meh to me. I'll give it another spin, though.

The Bewlay Brothers really bugged me with the backing vocals towards the end.
