It still slays me how joyous this is. I thought folk music was supposed to be worthy and humourless.

Perfect whilst answering emails..........

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

I'd have never had you down as a Bowie listener...

I'd have never had you down as a Bowie listener...

Favourite artist of all time, seen him live more than anyone else - 6 times.....

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Rebel Rebel's main riff is one of my all-time fave's...beautiful simplicity. Hard to believe that him and not Ronson came up with it although I guess that's why it is so simple. It's like the opening to Lennon's Imagine, only need about two notes and you know what song it is.

 

[The Esk]

Similarly Changes and Life on Mars?, instantly recognisable

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

You break out China Girl when you're there, don't you...

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

I would...

 

[The Esk]

You break out China Girl when you're there, don't you...

And when I get excited
My little china girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth

I'm still waiting for this record to completely click with me. I mean, it isn't awful - it's just that I don't get the gushing praise it attracts. For me, Ziggy, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Low, "Heroes" and even Scary Monsters are better.

Still, when it's great, it's ace. Golden Years and Stay are superb.

Lest you didn't already know, by the way: this is the record he can't even remember recording, such was his consumption of the Bolivian marching powder. A life-changing retreat to Berlin to clean up wasn't too far off the horizon...

One for Luis Suarez.

My favorite Bowie album constantly changes (forgive the pun). But Young Americans is the one I return to most often. I love the Thin White Duke era.
