I predict his favorite album will be Never Let Me Down
Anyway, this is, of course, the follow up to Ziggy Stardust. Usually, a follow up to a classic album proves to be a letdown, but, as usual, Bowie has to be an exception. He continues his brilliance in his Ziggy Stardust mode.Yes, I can see the argument that it was more straight-forward rock, but that doesn't lessen the quality. As a kid this was probably my favorite Bowie album. My favorite tracks on this one are Panic in Detroit, Jean Genie (of course), Cracked Actor, and Lady Grinning Soul.
It did seem like Bowie had to do one cover on each album during this period (Fill Your Heart, It Ain't Easy, and Let's Spend the Night Together). Of the three, I only really like the Davies' cover, It Ain't Easy, but all three will be better than most of the tracks on his next effort. Anyway...
