Which album do you prefer ?

diamond dogs has the most immediate gratification for me, but when i'm in the mood for it, nothing can beat man who sold the world.

They're definitely 2 of his darker, more difficult albums and not ones I gravitated to immediately.

I love them both, but "Diamond Dogs" to me is much more fully realized and thrilling.

blast this is hard...

the man who sold the world...uh..occultish..
v.s.

the futuristic paranoia of diamond dogs.



its hard..


diamond dogs..no the man who sold the world..no station to station..NO HUNKY DORY!..yeah.

Never been into "The Man Who Sold The World" that much.

"Rebel Rebel" is on Diamond Dogs.

Game.

Set.

Match.

DIAMOND DOGS.

Neither album are near my favorite Bowie albums, however, I like Diamond Dogs better than Man Who Sold the World. There are only two songs I really like on Man Who... (the title track and Width of a Circle), while almost everything on DD is worthy.

I don't really like Man Who...at all. One album too early for me. Hunky Dory is where he really figured it out.

i kinda agree... i was really hooked on that HUNKY DORY album. i know the lyrics by heart

apples and oragnes, really.

there is rebel rebel vs the title track and plenty of other gems on each.

had you said aladdin sane vs diamond dogs that would hvae been proper match.

Diamond Dogs, easily. Some nice stuff on TMWSTW but not everything is great and I like his voice a couple of years later much more. DD has the title track, Sweet Thing, Rebel Rebel, 1984, Big Brother....what more could you ask for?
