The David Bowie thread

[Brutus]

The great man is back with his first album in 10 years (The Next Day).

It's topped the charts in a plethora of countries, including the UK.

No 2 on the Aria charts and the Billboard charts.

His albums haven't sold this good in a long while. He's hardly done any promotion and there will be minimal touring/live stuff.

There's a couple of really good songs on the new album and the rest are so so (growers maybe).

For the record - I'll rate my top 5 Bowie albums

1. Lodger
2. Low
3. Station to Station
4. Scary Monsters
5. The Man Who Sold The World/Buddha of Suburbia (tie)

Throw Hunky Dory in there to make it a top half dozen.

I like Tin Machine as well. Unfairly panned by the critics imo.

Outside and Black Tie are underrated as well.

The Musical Pecking Order in the whole history of the world...

1. Johnny Cash
2. Billy Joel
3. David Bowie

Love him, love everything about him. You have to do a lot to get more adoration from me than I have for Bruce Springsteen or Leonard Cohen.

Everyone, quick! Watch Labyrinth or The Life Aquatic!!!!
