David Bowie "blackstar"

[CRAZY-HORSE]

to be honest I was never a big fan of Bowie's albums, I do own a few but I always thought of him as a 'singles artist'.

'ziggy stardust' was very good, but I need to be in the mood to hear it.
'lodger' was also very good, but again, have to be in the mood for it.
'the next day' was very good but took a while to grow on me.

'diamond dogs'...a few good tracks, lots of filler IMO
'lets dance'...good commercial pop, but sounds dated to me now.
'tonight'......he totally lost me on that one, even the singles were pretty bad in hindsight.

also have a couple of compilations on vinyl and a double cd compilation...much better value than his studio albums IMO.

its hard to knock the guy also, as he always tried to do something different that had never been done before(especially in the 1970s)...
he was truly an 'original' artist back in the day...

you've only got to listen to albums like 'ziggy stardust' and his late 1970s set 'lodger' to see and hear that he was decades ahead of anyone else in the game.
