Interest check: MB Artist Classics?

Did anyone else find going through the bowels of Bowie’s mediocrity depressing?

I’d rather pretend some of those records didn’t exist. It’s like going over old times- you’re supposed to gloss over the bad stuff

Also, the plan is to do as we are with Bowie, one album per day, but the polls won't close (maybe at all) so there's no hurry to do each album as it comes up. It just keeps the interest for those who are, well, interested enough in the artist, rather than take a week on each album, and it also helps hurry up the queue so that we're not, like me, old and grey by the time we get to the tenth or so artist.

Everyone ok with that?

I've got no complaints about this plan.

Although Frownland does have a point. One album per day is a bit much if you're not very familiar with the artist in question.

While I wasn't super familiar with his discography beforehand - going through all of this certainly made Bowie seem more like a guy who was just willing to throw caution to the wind and try stuff out, rather than a musical genius.

Same here. I'd forgotten how forgettable most of his post-70's albums are.
