Not a must-have but "Earthling" is a wonderful David Bowie record. All electric and was released during the height (hype) of NIN and Ministry. Also features a version of "I'm Afraid of Americans" with Trent Reznor. A strange addition to the Bowie discography because of it's electronic sound but worth hearing once in a while.

Interesting comment about remixing bad albums, as this has happened posthumously with two Bowie records, approved by Bowie before his death. The notorious Never Let Me Down got a complete rerecord apart from Bowie's parts, performed by Bowie's latter-day band members. Lodger from 1979 was an album I liked very much, but apparently when it was being made there wasn't a top-grade facility available to do the mastering, so it always sounded kind of thin. Producer Tony Visconti has gone back to the original recordings and fixed this.

I like the MICK of "Stupid Girl" and "Pain't It Black" - basically the London singles. At their very height, around 1982 or 83, they had sustained a 20 year career, which is more than a lot of bands can ask for and which is more than a lot of bands had gotten. Poor old John Lennon didn't even live to see 20 years in the business. Stones post-Tattoo You had put out some good songs here and there, but I'm hard-pressed to find a really great Stones album since then. By the way, "Sexy Mick" makes me sick.

All stations were instructed not to play it until the date authorized. Well, The Zone purposely ignored those instructions and started playing it immediately. "Anybody Seen My Baby" with Babyface is the only one I remember. It didn't take long for word to get out, and they may have gotten a bit in trouble for that. I don't think the band was amused.

Elton goes electro-disco with Giorgio Moroder henchman Pete Bellotte, Opening with a disco version of Chuck Berry's 'Johnny B. Goode', which is as awful as you could possibly imagine it to be. Elton didn't write a note for the album. Nuff said. Even though he still defends it (somewhat) in his autobiography Me.

Did you really just say that those 4 songs are all you need of the Beach Boys in their prime??? Dude, they have like 9 albums of gold from -66-'72! :-)

He hates The Beach Boys. He said "Pet Sounds" was the most overrated album of all time. So, take his comments about them with that in mind.

I still haven't heard it. I don't know if it would be that much of a disappointment because he was well into his low phase by then, and expectations wouldn't be very high at that point.

B2B is a killer record. The stones have 7 or 8 worse albums than that one. And the tour for that record (97-99) was one of their best.

I saw B2B on tour in Rio, with Bob Dylan, in 1998. Great concert. But Robert's comments on sexy Mick and sexy Keith really are funny! :) By the way, You Dont Have to Mean It is a good song

I had to revisit Bowie's "Hours" after watching this. Sure, it's in the bottom half of his album rankings, but there are several that are easily worse. "Hours" is better than Black Tie, White Noise, Buddha Of Suburbia, and Tonight, but really the lowest of Bowie lows is Never Let Me Down. So, in pitting "worsts" against each other, sorry but you picked the wrong Bowie. This was fun to watch though, thanks!

Hours is only disappointing compared with the two albums that preceeded it, which were bold and experimental. This pulls things back into a more traditional songwriting mode and seemed a bit staid at the time.

If the Beach Boys want some redemption, which they are in sorry need of after almost everything they have written so far, perhaps they could write about the beaches of California today. I can even recommend some song titles: 'OD OK,' 'Narcan Sniffing Blues,' 'You bitch, you bitch, I'm going to kill you, you bitch!' 'NNN, JJJ,' 'Who's Been Crapping in My Pants?' Those topics set to crazed upbeat tunes - I'd listen to that album. I suffer a bad case of toddler's object impermanence, whereby, if I stop listening to a band, I assume it no longer exists. It turns out that is not strictly true. I have just listened to David Bowie's 'Hours,' thanks to you, and really enjoyed it. Classic David Bowie, I would say, this time with a nostalgic, world weary theme. You say its tempo is rather pedestrian, but most of Bowie's songs have languid pacing, and I think the production matches the jaded mood of the album, and nearly all the songs are seriously beautiful and layered. Good pick for best of the worst, but it was always a cuckoo in the nest for this topic as it is actually a very fine album.

All of these David Bowie albums are essential. I even really like Never Let Me Down. Perhaps Pin Ups is not essential. And the first one.

There are 2 different versions of the beach boys Summer in Paradise. They are radically different in spots. The uk version has John Stamos singing forever. The USA version is better.

How about a video on bands that were quickest to lose credibility? I'm a big fan of early-Chicago, but their stuff from 1979 on is embarrassing to listen to even when I'm alone.

Being an Elton fan . If I remember correctly. Leather Jackets was the last album he owed Geffen. Not an excuse mind you. But it is what it is. The back of the album pic was weird. Elton in leathers was like seeing a photo of your dad trying to look sexy.

I'm probably going to have a running commentary on this video because I want to watch the whole thing.but will have to do so in sections. So yeah, "Hot In the Shade" is awful, "Sonic Boom" being one step worse. "Rise To It", "Forever" and IMO "Little Ceasar" are the only good songs on this. It is technically good music wise (It's Kiss, ya know) but so boring 😴. Anyway, on to the Stones. Oh God help me, I see it now.
