Hunky Dory rocks.

[LynneSin]

8. Here's a sub question to your question: Five Favorite Bowie albums

Can NOT Be one of his 5 dozen great hits collections (he does put out alot of those)

Mine:

1. Hunky Dory
   
2. Ziggy Stardust
   
3. Alladin Sane
   
4. Low
   
5. Let's Dance (sentimental favorite because it was the first concert tour I ever saw of real music and not that crap Shaun Cassidy my mother drug me to when I was 12)
   

[gollygee]

10. OK

Ziggy Stardust
Aladdin Sane
Hunky Dory
Low
Maybe Scary Monsters - I think I actually like that better than Let's Dance.

[LynneSin]

11. Let's Dance wasn't one of his top 5 albums, just sentimental value

It was probably the 5th album I ever bought and the first time I was able to go to a concert with my friends (we were about 5 feet from the front). So the reason it's top 5 isn't the quality of the music but of what it signifies in my life. I now have over 500 albums (ie - vinyl) and about 400 CDs - and probably this journey started because of music like David Bowie's.

He's in my top #10 of favorite musicians/group of all time

[gollygee]

13. OH wow that's cool :)

One of my absolute faves too :)

[mitchum]

16. "Hunky Dory", "The Man Who Sold The World", "Station To Station"...

"Diamond Dogs", and "The Idiot" Yes, I know that "The Idiot " is an Iggy Pop record, but Bowie contributed just as much to its brilliance. It's the finest work from both of them.

[Ramsey]

[LynneSin]

14. I just got Discreet Music and Music for Film from Eno on Vinyl

the guy was a genius

[maxsolomon]

27. the ambient stuff needs mint vinyl

so you can't really listen to it much.

i pulled out eno/cluster "old land" and realized i'd probably never played it more than twice in the 20 years i've had it. perfect condition. it sounded AWESOME on our mark levinson amp. can't say that for ambient 4.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

15. Here ya go...

I've got to go with "Heroes" as THE single best Bowie song, PERIOD (many won't agree, c'est la vie).

When he performed the song at the post-9/11 "Concert For New York City," it was the SHOW-STOPPER.

All of the emotions people had bottled up just let GO. The cops, the firefighters, the rescue workers, and everyone else in attendance...the place fucking EXPLODED. It was the defining moment, whatever you'd like to call it.



:toast:

1). Heroes, "Heroes"
2). Under The God (With Tin Machine)
3). Rebel Rebel, "Diamond Dogs"
4). The Jean Genie, "Aladdin Sane"
5). Let's Dance, "Let's Dance"

[RevolutionaryActs]

17. Here are five of his songs I love

In no order because that's too hard for me. :P



Changes

There are about 15 others I want to name, but I'll refrain. :P

BTW, if you can, rent a copy of the April 20 1992 tribute concert for Freddie Mercury/Queen.
Bowie does Under Pressure with Annie Lennox, All the Young Dudes with special guest Mott the Hoople, and Heroes. His performance was very moving, as, at the end, he knelt down on one knee and said the Lord's Prayer for a friend of his who was dying of AIDS.
