[ReRushed]

The Next Day being eliminated this early is a travesty!!!

It appears that Lodger is going to be dislodged this round.

It's not gone down as a classic but has some great tracks on it, this for one...

 

 

 

[Turbine Freight]

Lodger is a good album.

Lodger is a good album.

It's good but I think the rest of the remaining albums here are better.

Yassassin is experimental even by Bowie standards. I forking dig that song.

[Entre_Perpetuo]

I don't want to eliminate any of them.

 

This collection of records is almost infallible.

[Entre_Perpetuo]

I had to vote to eliminate Lodger despite Fantastic Voyage, Yassassin, African Night Flight, Look Back In Anger, DJ, etc. etc. etc.

 

I swear aside from maybe the endless skeleton thing at the end of Diamond Dogs, every song left is a classic.

I don't get the love for Low. At least with Lodger he wrote good, completely songs and wasn't just making a bunch of random noises.

I can't really explain why I love Low so much. It took me many listens to get into it as well. All I know is the more "song like" tracks in the first half get in and out with maximum catchiness and minimal irritation, and they are a perfect foil for the lengthier, more contemplative ambient pieces that fill out the back end. By the time Bowie starts singing "shine bright fading star" at the end, it's very moving for me.

I love Low, one of my fave albums ever.
