The absolute dumbest question ever asked. You've obviously never done speed or coke. Speed is safer I guess and it gives you energy and focuses you. Bowie should probably go on amphetamines it'll probably improve his work. That's to say he's not already on speed or it's cousin meth. (I don't condone meth use at all though)

Didn't Bowie start that thing where he pretends to suck the guitar players dick? Prince stole that, except for the fact that Wendy did his for real.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

Oh okay, it went for the Live Aid project in the end, but Bowie chose the song so at least a part of the money would go as well to Marvin Gaye's estate.


Btw, could we say that "Dancing in the Streets" was Bowie's "1999 - The New Master"? biggrin


Fans of either could correct me but I'm pretty sure that was the last number 1 in the UK that either Jagger or Bowie have appeared on. Yikes.

What's wrong with Bowie's version of China Girl? It's a good 80s pop song based on a good 70s Iggy Pop song. Not his best song ever, but heads and shoulders above what he'd go on to do in the 80s.

And I really like that Pet Shop Boys version of Hallo Spaceboy, but I like the industrial/aggro sound of the album version quite a bit as well. I don't think there's a version of that song I don't like.

Dancing in the Street? Wellll...ya got me there. lol


COME ON ANXY

ANXY KNOW BOWIE ALL NERVOUS WHEN SING SONG

Anyway, I think I might go to the HMV today (they've got a sale) and buy a Bowie album to eliminate "China Girl" out of my ears. What should I buy, you Bowie experts out there?


Go and buy Never Let Me Down!!
After listening to that album you'll think that China Girl & Dancing in the Streets are absolute masterpieces.

And, while you're there also get the Serious Moonlight DVD, It's ace!!!



Or track down a copy of Tin Machine: Live, Oy Vey Baby! You'll think Never Let Me Down is China Girl, which in turn would become more than masterpiece...wait, I'm confused...

Why does everyone sleep on Diamond Dogs? It is a nice bridge between Aladdin Sane & Young Americans?

Agreed...the whole album is a nice (but loose) interpretation of Orwell's 1984.

It was originally supposed to have been a more direct adaptation of "1984" (basically the book set vaguely to music), but Orwell's estate refused to let Bowie to go ahead with it.
