Bowie is my single favorite artist, with the possible exception of the Talking Heads. You are dead to me, Eric P! ...okay, you're alive again.

But thanks for the opportunity to repost this song:

Queen is the best. Queen + Bowie is spectacular.

This is not the "Cher had some hits" thread. This is a thread for people of musical taste to enjoy David Bowie's superiority to anything you've ever illegally downloaded or listened to. Get out.

>>>Low

Seriously, I illegally downloaded it to see why Pitchfork held it in such high regard. I really like Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust, and Alladin Sane. But Low is just...eh. The instrumental tracks are boring, and overall it's just forgettable. I'll give it another try but eh, it didn't impress me. From what I've read it was a rather innovative and influential record at the time.

BobbyRobby · « **Reply #25 on:** February 16, 2010, 01:46:16 AM »

i love late 60s-70s Bowie, not more than the Beatles though

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #26 on:** February 16, 2010, 01:52:59 AM »

I was a rather late in life convert to Bowie but yes he is brilliant and his late 60's through the 70's work is some of the best music ever created.

It's a personal taste thing but I would rather listen to Bowie over the Beatles any day of the week which is not to say the Beatles weren't great themselves.

There are tons of artists better than the Beatles.

I'm going to go ahead and say how I really feel...

The Beatles are mediocre... at best. Woo. Got that off my chest. I understand why they were important and some of their songs are great. But listening to their music is like playing battleship and trying to get that last little ship that takes up one square. Near fucking impossible to find something listenable out of so many songs.

Listen to Station to Station or Lodger first. They're both more accessible, but will make you more comfortable with the style of the other two Berlin Trilogy albums.

Good music, but holy fuck Novoselic and Grohl were ugly fuckers back then.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #39 on:** February 16, 2010, 12:43:59 PM »

The Nirvana version of that song is definitely better than Bowie's studio version, but I think my favourite performance of it is from when Bowie was on SNL with Klaus Nomi singing backup.

As much as I love Nirvana, they are pretty fucking overrated. They're not even the best grunge band, Pearl Jam are better. So are Alice In Chains.

I classify Nirvana in the same place I put the Beatles. They are remembered more for what they started than what they actually did.

Nirvana isn't crap, but everything that came after in its wake was much better.

Same with the Beatles.

But the monkeys don't even play their instruments.

Anyway I'd love to discuss albums, songs, solos, riffs, bands and musicians with you guys. I don't have any other outlet anyway.

What? How? Everyone listens to music, how can you not talk about it with friends?
