  2. Its really nice to be able to dive into such a huge catalogue without knowing much of the music. Some amazing tunes and albums. Aside from the latest album which I still love a lot Low is amazing.
  3. I'm having the same experience with Ziggy Stardust. I knew the song of course, and the other singles, but it's almost like listening to just the singles on The Wall and then one day you give the whole album a listen.

    Mind blowing.
  4. The new release is just amazing..obviously the new tunes take on a new meaning now after David's passing...IMO its his best work since Outside .

    For some of you who are just getting into Bowie , I highly recommend Nothing Has Changed , (deluxe version of course)..59 tunes that cover his career , starts from his latest single at the time (Sue) and ends with his first works in the 60s on disc 3 with a tune called Liza Jane . This is quite an early recording , (1966 ??) he was still called Davie Jones , with the King Bee's . He actually sounds a bit like Mick here lol.. ....this release is so different , but hey that was Bowie .

    He did so much music, and so many good albums and tunes! His catalogue from Hunky Dory (1970) to Scary Monsters (1980), and indeed the first three song of Let's Dance, is absolutely stellar. I also like the later stuff, and I am indeed blown away by Blackstar. Such a moving album. 'Tis a pity she was a whore - what a song! And Lazarus - I now get the lyrics. And he was so (scaringly) smart, and cool. Such a loss - if it hadn't been for the cancer, he still had some more albums in him (he was already planning a successor to Blackstar, apparently).
  6. Listening through Bowie's different eras of music and I am struck again by how much of an influence he had on U2, both in his ability to innovate and reinvent himself musically as well as performance-wise. Listening to Ziggy Stardust, Young Americans, Station to Station, and Heroes (to name four amazing albums) and the transition from glam rock to philly soul to krautrock to electronic ambience is incredible. U2's ability to change styles is something I've always enjoyed about them. And Bowie performing "in character" as Ziggy and The Thin White Duke = inspiration for The Fly and MacPhisto on Zoo TV. Elaborate, theatrical shows for Diamond Dogs and Glass Spider Tours? Zoo, PopMart, 360, I & E...

    Quite the influence, indeed.
  7. So long, Major Tom... RIP
