As Elvis Costello once wrote:

Remember girls, someday monkey won't play piano song. Play piano song.

Not that I have seen or heard. Which may mean nothing. Sorry.

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.

All. of. this.

Great response. I think the thing for me with "Blue Jean" is all about timing. I was 12, and it was the first Bowie video I ever saw (we didn't have cable, so I was limited to whatever made it onto Friday Night Videos. In addition to which my parents didn't like rock and were especially suspicious of Bowie, so we had…

Me too.

Understandable, considering the baby's love had gone and left the baby blue.
Who knew?

So 17 great songs from a few albums is a mostly low bar? Ok.

The single edit of Heroes is so bad. I mean, it's not bad. It's just… it loses all the emotional build up…and…

Correct on Loving the Alien being redeemed on Reality Tour. That was what made me revisit Tonight for the first time in ages. I can't argue with your logic on the rest, either. I do think that taken together, despite whatever charms they have, Tonight and NLMD represent his worst work overall. And considering how much…

Well, as one obsessive Bowie fan to another, whatever Bowie you prefer is the right Bowie. Lord knows we have so many to choose from.

Ashes to Ashes, Fashion, Scary Monsters, Teenage Wildlife, Let's Dance, Modern Love, Little China Girl, Cat People (Putting Out Fire), This Is Not America, Absolute Beginners, Blue Jean, Loving the Alien, Underground, Magic Dance, Time Will Crawl, Heaven's in Here, and I Can't Read just called and beg to differ.

Black Tie White Noise is a really good, and really personal record. It has some forgettable tracks, but some amazing ones as well. "Jump They Say" is a great single (and also unexpectedly poignant when you know it's about his brother's suicide). "The Wedding" is actually music he composed for his wedding earlier that…

Respectfully disagree that Tonight is worse, though your reasoning is solid, and I appreciate your point of view. The thing that (barely) puts Tonight over NLMD for me is that it has both "Blue Jean" and "Loving the Alien" on it. There is no single song on NLMD (even though "Time Will Crawl" started to grow on me over…

Fuck yeah, David Bowies! Undergound is my shiiiiiiiiiiiit! *Explodes*

I was 4 when Star Wars came out. It's the first movie I ever remember seeing (though I had seen dozens before that. My parents were cheap about babysitters). I distinctly remember the jump to hyperspace getting a huge gasp in the audience and feeling like something special was happening.

Too bad. He already wrote the book.

Upvoted for the shout out to Throwing Muses. Real Ramona is in my car right now.

Just not enough of a reason to ever watch Dark Shadows. She's in other stuff. All of it is better.
