Question for Bowie Freaks About a year a ago I went through a phase of listening to a LOT of Bowie. Borrowing friends albums, stuff from the library etc
I really like Bowies Glam stuff, the work he did with Mick Ronson especially. But.after Diamond dogs, I really do not dig his albums. I always like 2 or 3 songs, but not the albums as a whole. I like some advice on what albums to get if you are someone who LOVES Bowies stuff up to 1974, and the is only MILDLY interested. Thanks..... | |

Well, if you specifically want the Ronson years, then go for anything from 1970-1973.
That includes: The Man Who Sold The World Hunky Dory Ziggy Stardust Aladdin Sane and Pin Ups Diamond Dogs is kinda glam too and falls under your year specifications. If you give it a little time, you might find everything he did in the 70's to have some value. His 90's and current work are quite amazing too. If it's rocking Bowie you like and want something more recent than his glam days, try Scary Monsters, Earthling and his newest one, Reality. | |

David Live will be re-issued next year, that is a must have.
You could also give both Tin Machine albums a listen, they're not as bad as everybody makes them out to be. you could also try Outside, Scary Monsters and Station to Station. But, the best thing you can do is buy everything. It will grow on you, trust me. WHAT IF THERE IS NO TOMORROW? THERE WASN'T ONE TODAY! | |

What are you trying to do? you could also try Outside, Scary Monsters and Station to Station. NOW you're talking ... only none of them are from the glam era, are they? And I wouldn't recommend "Outside" to absolute beginners. But, the best thing you can do is buy everything. It will grow on you, trust me. Tonight, Never Let Me Down, the Tin Machine trilogy make great compost. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |
