The Cat 3 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I just wrapped up my David Bowie marathon, which consisted of every studio, live, compilation and box set in chronicle order. Clocking in at over 1100 songs...it was a true journey of great fun, great music and history. I was starting to get very sad coming to this end of this marathon, still mourning the loss of this amazing musician. Just then, I looked to my right and there on the shelf, among all of the other music, are David Bowie's CDs.. The music will live on forever and I am so very thankful today for the wonderful gift of his music that David shared with the world. http://www.mindspotresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/David-Bowie.jpg Say... how many hours did just over 1100 songs take?79 Hours, 21 Minutes, 7 Seconds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Got Blackstar from iTunes recently. This last release pared with a new familiarity with Bowie and his hits as well as loving his standout release Ziggy Stardust, I'm being very reminded of how I came to love Rush as my second favorite band (first a familiarity with the hits, then 2112, then Clockwork Angles, lastly AFTK and they were my permanent (second) (w)faves). I'm having an inkling of an idea that David Bowie might fill my long open slot for fourth favorite musician/artist, previously considered artists including Journey, Styx, The Flaming Lips, U2, Yes, and a few others. 1. Queen2. Rush3. Muse4. Bowie? Only Time Will Tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn that sounds eerily like David. Not so much like Brian though. Good call on keeping it instrumental though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verena Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I cried when he died. He was a genius that deserved to live more. Amazing talented artist, the world needs more people like him.

Along With Blackstar & The Next Day it's his best since Scary Monsters/Let's Dance. 1.Outside and Reality are also quite good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Since I learned about Bowie, since his death, he's become one of my musical heroes, much in the same vein (but not on the same level) as Freddie Mercury. If his music has as great of an effect on me as his character and story as I slowly continue going through it (and some of it has so far), he'll be certainly competing with Genesis for the position of my fourth favorite band/artist, a slot that's been empty for years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Went to the record store yesterday and nearly got my next Bowie album but decided against it since the records were all so expensive and I was already spending $23 on quite a stack (thank you $1 bin 10 for $5 deal). So I've decide next time I go there to buy a record I'm walking out with a new Bowie CD at least. I have Blackstar, Ziggy, S2S, and Scary Monsters, plus I've heard Hunky Dory. What should my next step be? (And when I was thinking about getting one of the Bowie albums they had there yesterday, I was leaning towards Aladin Sane) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Berlin trilogy" is a must. "Heroes" and Lodger are also great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Who Sold The World is great too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Went back with $20 music/birthday money in pocket and my mind set on Bowie. The selection of CDs was much more limited, but most all the vinyl I saw last time was still there. Aladdin Sane was right at the front of the stack, and after brief deliberation between it, the man who sold the world, and space oddity, I went for Aladdin. Listened through for the first time about an hour ago (back on Who's Next now). An interesting, less engaging but more experimental, fusion of Ziggy's glam rock mastery and Hunky Dory's music hall and strangeness. Like it a lot, will revisit shortly. Ty! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Slipperman Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 The Space Oddity album is a different animal. I have not heard it in many years, and have been wanting to re-visit it. But other than the classic title track it is a VERY different album from what would follow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
