Your_Lion Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 RGLT Which is the best Bowie album. Not necessarily the best to start with, but THE UNDENIABLE BOWIE MASTERPIECE? I only know the dude from the film Labyrinth.I can't speak for ReGorLaTroy, but I would say either Station to Station or Low. Take your pick. Don't go hatin' Ziggy lovers... I know nothing of the man. Cannot even tell you if I am excited or not!You must have heard Space Oddity or Life on Mars. Both amazing songs, and just the tip of an amazing iceberg Nope.Then get to it :D :musicnote: This is ground control to Major Segue :musicnote: IS THAT DAVID BOWIE???????? I LOVE THAT SONG!Yeah...that's Space Oddity...I told you that you must have heard it, didn't I :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyLee Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I dig some Bowie but would never, and I mean never do a Bowie marathon. Much like The Doors, I can only handle in small doses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Seque, Here are just a few highlights for you. These albums cover pretty much the scope of his career from 1969 to 2013. I've included "Hours" on this list because it is one of my most favorite Bowie albums, even though it is a little dark. Space Oddity / The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars / Diamond Dogs / Station to Station / Heroes / Let's Dance / Hours / The Next Day Like Queen, you will discover so many types of music addressed in his music from folk to industrial. Have fun, you won't be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 So, after one day it is... Rush - 6 David Bowie - 5 Thin Lizzy - 4 Ramones - 2 ...actually surprised to see Rush in the lead and that The Who and Pink Floyd aren't in the running as of yet.

Lorraine Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I was going to vote for The Who but I didn't. They came a long way from the little 45s I used to buy in the sixties. By the way, ReGor, you appear to have a massive album collection. How many do you own? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Lorraine... I knew I could count on you for a vote for The Who! As for how much music I have, I'm embarrassed to say that I've lost count a few years back Between CD, Vinyl and Digital it is hard to keep track. I just love music and really don't spend extra money on anything else. Concerts, music, music DVDs, rock t shirts, memorabilia and books. Rutlefan said earlier in this thread... "It's always like visiting an old friend who you never tire of." That is exactly how I feel about all of these artist's music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Segue, I think when you're just getting into an artist, your best bet is to find a consensus quality greatest hits package (because many artists have a few) and see how you feel about the stuff that "everybody" seems to like. Then, if you find you like all or most of it, you delve into individual studio albums. For Bowie you should try the 2 CD Best of Bowie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
