The Cat 3 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Statement from David Bowie's family... THANK YOU The family of David Bowie is currently making arrangements for a private ceremony celebrating the memory of their beloved husband, father and friend. They ask once again that their privacy be respected at this most sensitive of times. We are overwhelmed by and grateful for the love and support shown throughout the world. However, it is important to note that while the concerts and tributes planned for the coming weeks are all welcome, none are official memorials organized or endorsed by the family. Just as each and every one of us found something unique in David's music, we welcome everyone’s celebration of his life as they see fit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 So I told my dad to get Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust, or Blackstar in light of David Bowie's death. I'm not sure if he's ordered one yet, so what I want to know is, for someone and his dad who have never had a Bowie album before, but have always known and liked many of the hits, would one of those three be a good place to start? (I've already heard and loved a couple tracks off Blackstar by the way). Should I have suggested something else? Let's Dance? Heroes? Space Oddity? A greatest hits? What do you think? Hunky Dory and Ziggy are good places to start. I'm just gonna throw out a recommendation for my favorite too...Station to Station. Pretty much a flawless album to me. Its kind of like Permanent Waves. 6 tracks, not a lot of room to put a crap song on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I got a copy the day before he died and listened to it twice. This is a rare incident where an artist's death truly makes an album better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 At this moment, Blackstar is my favorite David Bowie album of all-time. Again, it's not easy to not judge this album in the shadow of Bowie's death. And I think that's the point. I consider it one of "those" albums. An all-time great. A freakin' masterpiece through and through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heathen, The Next Day and Blackstar are tremendous works and Reality ain't that bad either. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
