OT Favourite Bowie Album : Mon Jan 11, 2016 4:16 pm  

Following the sad news that David Bowie’s passed away I was thinking about playing a few of his albums in the car and it really brought home how many great albums he did. Can’t think of many artists with the quality output he had.

I think my favourite is the live version of Ziggy Stardust (The Motion Picture) but I’m a huge fan of Heroes, Low and Aladdin Sane.

Must confess I haven’t bought anything since Let’s Dance. I wasn’t keen on Tin Machine and didn’t buy the 2013 album. Is it worth a listen? Heard the new single and may get the new album.

Both recent albums are astonishing, you can listen to and watch the video of Blackstar all over the net and it is just incredible, especially when you now know that he obviously dreamed it up and recorded it as a "departure gate" collection of songs ahead of his imminent death.

As to albums - I'll go for Hunky Dory

It varies with my mood and situation, and like Bullseye, I haven't given anything since 'Let's Dance' a proper listen. The two that crop up most frequently, though, are 'Hunky Dory' and 'Low'.

I'm a very big Bowie fan for me Ziggy Stardust,Hunky Dory,and Diamond Dogs,I also think Mick Ronson was one of the World's BEST guitarists ,his Album Slaughter on 10th Avenue was great,my fave track his version of Love Me Tender.

Never had any David Bowie albums but definately one of my favourite singers. Best single for me is Life On Mars, closely followed by quite a few. Changes, Modern Love, China Girl, Ashes to Ashes, Space Oddity and many more, all classics.

Listening to Radio 2 at work yesterday playing loads of his songs all day and you forget just how many great songs he did. Must admit I felt pretty sad at work yesterday

It's got to be Ziggy, closely followed by Station to Station, which is the last one I actually parted with hard cash for.
How I regret not going to see Woody Woodmansey, Tony Visconti, Lisa Ronson & others perform The Man Who Sold The World at Leeds O2 last year.
