My favorite Bowie album is station to station. All of his albums are great and so diverse. Each will bring you on a different adventure. I always hated the 80s! My favorite bands like the stones, the who all put out mediocre stuff in the 80s (just my opinion). Bowie shined in that decade...i invite his 80s catalogue w open arms Talented talented man. If not for his own music, but he produced iggy pop and Lou reed's BEST stuff. Wrote Mott the hoople's biggest hit. I am absolutely crushed that he is no longer with us.
it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...
Black Star is a phenomenal album - found a high quality vinyl rip - definatley a headphone or good system album - FM radio and streaming do not do it justice.
i use to see tony springer in a hendrix cover band called fire in the early 1980's bowie was always great for picking new/great guitar player and inviting them to play this guy is still great and bowie knew it https://www.facebook.com/TONY-WILD-T-SPRINGER-8184739581/
Today I'm listening to the album for the first time through headphones (Sennheisers). Man, it almost sounds like I'm in the studio as the tracks are being cut live! The strings and the flute on the title track and the horns, piano and backing vocals on 'Pity...' are as if I'd never noticed them before. Track by track I'm rediscovering this masterpiece - precisely five Sundays (and countless listens) from my first introduction to the album. Well, thank you again David!
People have already recommended the albums I would recommend. I am currently fixated on side B of Low. Last week it was Heroes and Alladin Sane. Oh and Hunky Dory is one of my favorites. Quicksand is on it, enough said.
I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream... If I knew where it was I would take you there.
Anyone see Lady Gaga's tribute at the Grammys? I've nothing against her in general, but it was bloody awful, sounded more like Bette Middler or Liza Minnelli doing cabaret renditions of Bowie tunes.
I'm not a Gaga hater (seen her once and quite enjoyed it), but her tribute rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. It would have been cool if there were more collaborators, like Iggy Pop or Mick Jagger. I also didn't like her attempted likeness to Bowie.
In contrast, I really enjoyed the Lemmy tribute, I thought it was super heartfelt. As was the Glenn Frey tribute.
taken from another website word I've heard is that the Bowie estate blocked the following:
-any DB video usage -any DB photo usage(the photo at the end of her performance was a drawing, not a photo) -any DB master recordings(the "Let's Dance" teaser earlier in the show were from the Grammy soundcheck) -certain arrangement elements(has Nile never seen an e-bow before?) -Iggy blocked China Girl -told those who actually knew DB in the last 20 years not to go near it.
I felt like she seemed to truly have been inspired by him, but the delivery and sound and the way they spliced the songs together... the whole thing was really really bad.
My favorite comment about it was: "Gaga doing Bowie = bad pub karaoke on a NASA budget"
losing david bowie still hits me hard,..being a big fan for over 37 years will do that... there will be no one like him. a true visionary. such a sad loss to music for me personally i was ok with gaga's tribute but this wins...if there was even a competition to start with...

Any idea what kind of slang Bowie is singing or did he just make it all up?
"Cheena so sound, so titi up this malcheck, say
Party up moodge, nanti vellocet round on Tuesday
Real bad dizzy snatch making all the omeys mad — Thursday
Popo blind to the polly in the hole by Friday"...
Thanks for the info.
If I knew where it was I would take you there.

Damn, so many tributes :(
