Aladdin Sane-David Bowie
The proble I have with Bowie is that, as great as his music is, I can never enjoy him as much as I feel I should. When I listen to something like Tim Buckley or Pere Ubu, something clicks with me, but when I listen David Bowie (as well as Neil Young btw) all I feel is "man, this is a great tune". A big part of music is the connection I make with it, and if I can't make that connection, the experience has so less value. But in terms of simple musical value, this is a great album
