today i bought the album TRANSFORMER by Lou Reed because i deserved it, ok? (i did a good audition for a movie, fingers crossed))

i am starting to be quite a big David Bowie fan and when i found out he produced it, i had to have it. also because of WALK ON THE WILD SIDE of course. that is a classic.



the strange thing is that the CD is a different edition than the cover states. oh well, the music is still great.

you like it?

(and a great back cover too: )

It's pretty great. Makes a logical transition between the campy cabaret of Hunky Dory and the full on glam of Ziggy Stardust.

yes... i am reading a bio on Bowie... i am SO inspired!

dawntreader said:

He's the best! When'd you get into him?

"Satellite Of Love", "Vicious", "Walk On The Wild Side" and...and "Perfect Day"!

Lou Reed + David Bowie =

Cheek said:

I'd say those are the best ones.

GangstaFam said:

Bowie's backup vocal in "Satellite Of Love" is driving me crazy!

Bowie is a genius! ->

Cheek said:

The only complaint I have about this album and his ones with Iggy Pop is that sometimes I wish they were just Bowie.

GangstaFam said:

yes, i think so too after my first listen

well i like MAKE UP too :blush:

i have been into Bowie since EARTHLING and i started buying his older material very slowly. i saw him live and that was when i was hooked. i like him because he is amazing in conveying emotion in his lyrics, music and performance. i cried!

Cheek said:

gimme a high five too!!!

dawntreader said:

Lemme guess, Under Pressure?

What do you have by him so far?

GangstaFam said:

I wish "The Idiot" was a Bowie album!

Cheek said:

Again, another perfect bridge between the seemingly unrelated Bowie albums on either side of it.

GangstaFam said:

UNDER PRESSURE yes.

i was crying about THE LONIEST GUY too.

i have all his albums except for:
SPACE ODDITY
THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD
ZIGGY STARDUST
PIN UPS
DIAMOND DOGS
and
THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA

i am very pleased with my TIN MACHINE albums

"The Idiot" falls between "Station to Station" and "Low".

Lou and Iggy are both great without Bowie as well .

lilgish said:

Yeah, I know.

But it's like with Prince protege albums. You can hear his influence all over their records, but you sometimes wish it was just him.

GangstaFam said:

Iggy's China Girl is better

GangstaFam said:

Absolutely! This album is masterful!
