Such great info there Scot ! Although I'm not a massive fan or completist of his output , there's no denying his incredible influences across the decades. Whether you're aged 80 or 18 , there's definitely something here that you can love or have great memories of.... Legend is banded about way too often these days , but absolutely deserved in relation to this artist. Fantastic Scot , thanks. 😍

I've discovered Bowie's music when he dropped Earthling, i was a teenager in the 90's. Since then, step by step i started purchasing Bowie's albums. I can't get enough of Heroes, Low, Station to Station, Scary Monsters, Diamond Dogs, Alladin, Honky.....Ziggy.... Great , great way ahead of the time , artist Nice video, Scott

Great ranking of Bowie’s diversified discography. And it’s amazing how many different, legendary artists he worked with over the years. When “ Let’s Dance “ was first released in ‘83, I didn’t like it much since I’d become so fond of his ‘ 70s material. But in time, that album would grow grow on me thanks to his collaboration with SRV. Especially “ Cat People. “ It’s actually the song that led me to being an avid fan of SRV. And I love both “ Low “ and “ Heroes. “ It’s Bowie at his deepest and most artistic. Plus I can’t agree more with your #1 and 2 ranking. Thanks Scot for another dead on countdown !

Nice review for a not so hard core fan. Appreciate you doing it. Only real issue i have is your ranking of the excellent YOUNG AMERICANS album, 3/75. That album is an absolute Top 10 entry, and for me personally (being a major Bowie fan since age 7, in 1973), it's a TOP 5, close to perfect LP! Also, DIAMOND DOGS is sn absolute Top 5 as well. I do think your 4 at the crest are all absolutely worthy clsssics though, and i love each of them just as much! Bowie in the 1970s = Ultimate Rock Star ✨ Marc

I rather like his brief hippy phase too. Unsurprisingly, sounds a bit twee and dated but the tracks show early signs of Bowie's song-writing talent and if you're in a relaxed mood it's decent enough. The Man Who Sold the World which came next was another change of style but is even better, IMO. Bowie evolved album by album and by the early 70's was a master of his art.

As Scot mentioned, Bowie isn't considered a progressive rock artist but tried his hand at everything from folk to electronic. That said, a few of his earlier period tracks do have a prog feel: the 8 minute The Width of a Circle and even the early 70's version of Space Oddity among them. Prog or not, this chap was a mighty talent.

Growing up with Bowie in the seventies (saw him live in ‘76), these are the albums I’ve returned to the most through the years. Having said that, I mostly return to separate songs, not albums. There are so many. Like “This Is Not America”. By the way, I don’t like “Let’s Dance” at all. I was impressed by the title track, but that album was the beginning of the downfall for my hero. “Black Star” was a magnificent ending - what a way to go. 1. Station To Station 2. Low 3.

The sheer power of Santa Monica 1972 is staggering and I feel it does the songs from that era real justice.

I bought 3 Bowie albums back in the day; Ziggy Stardust, Diamond Dogs and Station to Station. I loved all three of them but then lost interest. Too much other stuff to buy and listen to, but Bowie was one of the artists that had an influence on me. Good review Scot!🤩Got any more YES content coming up?

Running him through my patented progometer, Bowie is only 6.43% prog but, despite that, he is a hugely important influential quality artist and worth considering by any intelligent music channel. Off the top of my head and before you get to the top 5, I'd have 1. Hunky Dory 2. Ziggy 3. Aladdin Sane 4. Low 5. Diamond Dogs but all opinions are valid. Is it worth listening to Anthony Newley? No, but it is worth noting that he wrote the title track for Goldfinger and was married to Joan Collins.

I’d have Space Oddity a lot higher than you Scot. I love all of side one, not so keen on side two. I think Letter to Hermione is beautiful and one of the rare heartfelt, personal songs he ever recorded. I reckon going forward from there you don’t get anything so personal (in delivery anyway) until the excellent Wild is the Wind - which is actually a cover of the title song from a film from the 50s. Overall though, I’ve got the same top 4 as you.

For me, Diamond Dogs is my favorite Bowie album. I have always loved his voice, but his music overall is hit and miss, actually more miss. I love Ziggy and Aladdin Sane, but I haven't heard much more of Bowie except for a song here and there. When Young Americans came out, I just thought "I'm out", so I gave up on Bowie after that.

I feel the same. Out of his albums I love about half but around a quarter I rarely play, including a couple like Earthling and Tin Machine albums are duds to me. Young Americans is about 50% OK but a disappointment compared to Diamond Dogs. The guy tried everything music-wise and when he was good he was really good - the male equivalent of Kate Bush but much more prolific.

Don't think anyone expected Darkstar to be as good, but David wanted to go out with a bang. When I first heard the epic title track it made me stop everything and listen carefully - then play it again, twice. Prefer Hunky Dory as I've loved it so long - and what song-writing - but the final's a great one too.

Those are fabulous bands, you mentioned.. but a lot of them has some real "proggy "elements in their music. Sgt.Peppers is pop with a lot of psychedelics and was a forerunner to Prog. The same with Pink Floyd or Moody Blues. You could say that the hit" Bohemian Rhapsody" is definitely a PROGrock song. Even Bowie's "Diamond Dogs" with a '1984' nihilistic future ahead. So cross-over or fusion was the big deal then. Even in the charts. And now? That's another thing
@mclarsj
11 ай бұрын
And...don't forget, although I really like and loved his music( especially in the 70's) Bowie absorbed a lot of music from others too. He had a folky side , a glam rock period; a soul and funky period; an experimental ( Berlin) period, new wave or dance period. He was a clever guy, he knew exactly what was going on.. he was there in front.
