Okay so what order should I get my Bowie albums in?

4ZZZ · 01-02-2009, 04:00 PM

IMO the way to start is Ziggy. One of the greatest albums of it's era. Follow that up by Low. This would show a marked change in style from Glam pop/rock to a marked Avant Garde direction in the use of Synths etc. After than you have a choice of heading back to Hunky Dory, under appreciated IMO, and then forward to Heroes and Station To Station.

Yeh. I got Ziggy and Hunky Dory first(just downloaded). I'll get Low next. Thanks

Some good prog metal, other than (or similar to) Opeth, and nothing cheesy.

Also, some good accessible doom metal.

-God, those are two albums that are very hard to match!Both of those are very acomplished albums, with depth, character and good musianship...

What could I suggest as something as good as those...

I guess I could go with a personal suggestion and recommend "After Everything Now This" by the Church, which kinda covers similar themes musically and lyrically to the two albums you mentioned... but you could also go with "Uninvited Like the Clouds" by the same band, which has some similarities to that early nineties era U2 stuff...

Or you could go with anything by the band James - a very U2 - ish sounding band - go with Millionaires or ...Pleased to Meet You for that nineties U2 feel...

For prog metal, try some newer Between the Buried and Me, Isis, Mastodon, etc.

And for doom metal, listen to some Weedeater, Torche, Electric Wizard, Orange Goblin.

Hi everyone, looking for some recommendations. I like Placebo, The Strokes, and Queens of the Stone Age.
