Changes and Life On Mars are fantastic songs. But on the basis of what I know of his early work (with the one exception of The Man Who Sold The World [album]), Bowie is all about the singles/big hitters. The album tracks on Hunky Dory are absolute crud. It's reminiscent of the same crappy music hall tripe that he began his career with.

Aside from that, your claim that I "dislike things just because they're good" is not only arrogant, but completely ignorant of who I am and my tastes in music. Hell, you know WHY I am bothering to listen to Bowie's discography? Because I grown up listening to and loving David Bowie, on the basis of his greatest hits CDs. Liking David Bowie as much as I did/do, I am curious to have a fuller picture of his work. Up to now I am not impressed.
