PrintableI like it very, very much.  I feel odd though, because 'Fame' is actually one of my least favorite on it. 'Win', too.  Hey loudmouth, shut the fuck up, right? | |

That cheap and nasty white boy soul just reeked of him reaching ... Every album up to that point was fantastic, ....after; very hit and miss. i don't think he was reaching. if anything, i think YA was a very indulgent album for him to make. i think he took a screeching turn from glam rock to philly soul simply because it was what he wanted to do. if you look at this album in the big picture, it's the transitional album between his ziggy stardust phase and his experimental "eno/berlin" phase, so clearly there was something important going on there. and if you can't follow albums like "station to station", "low" or "heroes", i'd urge you to go back and give them another chance. they're classics. I agree there are some great albums post the mid 70's, however, for me, they are less consistent in their quality. ...Low & Scary Monsters are 2 of my favourites. But his experimentation from Young Americans on, just struck me as change for change's sake. Where as previously, I got the sense that his progression was more fluid and natural. It's all down to personal taste of course.  | |

i think you're right in terms of the 80s, but well...i don't think anyone's gonna defend the 80s where bowie's concerned. 
i guess in the 90s bowie could be accused of trying to reclaim his former glory as an experimental rock guru, but even if it was a bit contrived, it was a lot better work than he'd done in years, and it seemed to be coming from a genuine place. | |

Of course nothing can match his 70's work, but I thoroughly loved his 90's output. And "Heathen" I would put up against most of his classic albums. | |

I love the Young Americans album. I think the reason why I this album appealed to me more than any Bowie album is because it was hip in its own way. The soul and rock feel is just unique and it's not that strange either. It's a hard album to get into though... 
'Right' is my jam on here too. It has such an infectious groove "Taking it all the right way Keeping it in the back Taking it all the right way Never no turning back Never need, no Never no turning back" Check me out and add me on:

I really like the sound and vibe of Young Americans, and there are a few stellar tracks, but I think some of the songs on the record are not up to his usual standards. * * *

And "Heathen" I would put up against most of his classic albums. same. i think a lot of avant-garde pop/rock/whatever stars go through a phase where they are a young revolutionary, trendestter, etc., then they sort of cash in and rest on their laurels, and then either pick it back up again by a) following their followers or b) paying homage to their original influences. and it can be very good then they decide to get serious again, but it's rarely original. | |

Timmy when were you born? I hope my question isn't too forward. By the way I love the "Young Americans"... there is not much of Mr. Bowie music I don't like. | |
