Best David Bowie Album, Real One.

The Identity Matrix · 01-08-2016, 09:07 AM

Gotta say I am really enjoying Blackstar right now but I think I will give Aladdin Sane some love by saying its easily top five in his discography for me.

Top 5 (no order): Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, Station to Station, Space Oddity, The Man Who Sold the World.

Before I put Blackstar anywhere near this list I'll need one more listen.

Anybody read my Blackstar review?

I did. Good one.

Didn't necessary agree with everything, but could always see where you were coming from.

Thanks!

As far as the Berlin trilogy goes, I've only heard the first two. I'm just starting to get into experimental music. I've heard a lot of experimental albums, but I never could get into them.

This changes a lot, but Station to Station I think. Pin Ups aside, Hunky Dory to Let's Dance is a great run of albums and I pretty much love them all.

Station to Station, Aladdin Sane, Low & Heroes, I think.

Lodger doesn't have the ambient bits on the second half of the album so it's probably easier to get into.

Also have you heard Iggy Pop's 'The Idiot'? That might be a good introduction into the first two, maybe you will like them more once you've heard the Iggy Pop album.

Now I remembered that I haven't listened to Low in ages and don't really remember anything from that album, just that I used to love it.

Also: Anybody else really likes "The Man Who Sold The World"? It doesn't seem to be particularly popular among fans. Sure, it's not grundbreaking and often very straighforward, but still such a fun album.

Yes, hammered that for about a month when I first heard it. Opening track as pointed out is a belter, title track is obviously great as well.

I've had him on my todo list for a long time. I have a lot on my todo list, and Iggy Pop isn't very high up.

It doesn't sound like Iggy Pop though.

Spoiler for Tunes:

Knowing Stooges, I doubt Iggy Pop sounds a thing like Bowie.
