Not Diamond Dogs?
corporate whore
oh, thought you were dead
Hunky Dory - Ronson, Queen Bitch, Bewlay Brothers, Pretty Things, Changes, fantastic.
Can't pick one, honestly, out of Kooks, Fill Your Heart, Queen Bitch and Bewlay Brothers
Queen Bitch is the one for me although they're all amazing

Exasperated, not angry.
I love that bit.
just impossible not to 'sing' along with when it comes on, aint it?

It's either The Best of David Bowie 1969-1974 or The Best of David Bowie 1974-1979, followed closely by The Best Of David Bowie 1980-1987 (though it has few stinkers on it).
The only studio album I've ever had is Low and that's rather good.

Between Hunky Dory and Ziggy - with Aladin Sane getting an honurable mention. All fantastic albums. Although he did some great stuff afterwards (esp Station to Station ) the early 70s were his purple patch - I think a fair bit of credit for that should go to Mick Ronson.
Never liked young americans - bit of a blot on his otherwise superlative 70s output.
Lets Dance - and everything after - was shite to medicore.
Interestingly Bowie was up to his bollocks in debt to his record company unitl Lets Dance sold by the truck load. Clearly financial security and a healthy tan did far less for his creativety then being skint and off his chunk.

Let's Dance (the single) is one of his best!

Really difficult to name just one. Can't do it but i'll name 2
Aladdin Sane
Hunky Dory
Same for me. Hunky Dory edges it, which is lucky.
dya know, I love that
takes me right back to being 15 and being in The Raven of a saturday afternoon, planning the night ahead quite liked Outside as well - although the liner notes/concept was a bit crap.
he has a knack tho of latching on to interesting stuff about a year or more after it hits. Can't recall which lp, but he ripped off the Pixies (and acknowledged it) on one track.
Buddha of Suburbia anyone?

Liked the title track of 'Buddha' but the whole soundtrack was awful

Ziggy Stardust for me. The only album where every song is very fucking

I personally find it one of his worst. And the album.

Carmine Rojas, one of Nile Rogers' crew. The playing does not mean it's a good song, though.
Contrast China Girl with the version from the Idiot. No contest.

Huh?

I'm saying the early 80s production values and arrangements he and Rogers brought to the album delivered a product that was sub Duran Duran. The best way of seeing this is to compare the two versions of China Girl.

I see - well I can't even remember what China Girl sounds like, so it can't be that good either way, but I love shiny 80s Rogers productions - Notorious is great
