Not to forget that the vocals on "It's No Game (no 1)" are more extreme than I have heard on any punk song.

Bowie actually had a lot of political lyrics, and I am guessing he was interested in politics as it seems he had an interest in everything. But he was much more subtle than going for slogans and one-dimensionality. (An exception is the lyrics on the first Tin Machine album.)

Ziggy is great but does not even make my to 10 Bowie album list.

He was not trying to recreate Let's Dance. That was what Rogers thought and he was very frustrated when Bowie was not interested in doing that. (He was also frustrated during the making of Let's Dance because he thought he should increase his rock credibility by helping to make another Scary Monsters. Obviously, the…

Onde? That is criminal. No Bowie album can be judged after playing it just once.

Well, I love BTWN so if it is as good as that one, I won't mind. NLMD on the other hand is his absolute nadir, and Blackstar is way ahead of that. I'd say it is in the upper half of his albums.

I don't know how old you are, but as far as I remember the sound of the album did not seem dated on its release.

I agree. Even the two I like the least (Hours and Reality) have some really great tracks.

I'd agree about Boss of Me. For me the only mediocre track on that album. A couple of other songs that were "just good", but at least 10 out of 14 tracks were brilliant.

I couldn't agree more. Almost every album is well received and is considered to be far better than the previous album which got great reviews and was similarly compared to the previous one. I notice now that many dismisses TND, but it is a brilliant album. However, I have also noticed that some reviewers are starting…

Scott Walker comes to mind. Not many others I can think of. (Well, maybe Dylan on a good day.)

The first version of Tis a pity is actually the demo made by Bowie alone in his home studio. Therefore it has a pretty unfinished and "primitive" sound, but I love the vocals on that version.

BTWN is a masterpiece. But it took me a _long_ time to realize it. For some reason I just kept playing it and it kept growing on me until it now is in my Bowie top-5. Bowie even said at its release that he didn't think he ever had reached this level as an artist before. I don't know any other album he has said that…

The Next Day underwhelming? It is a brilliant album.

Outside was co-produced by Eno, so why don't you own that? It is the only Bowie album (contrary to popular belief) involving Eno as a producer.

Well, I loved the first Tin Machine album when it first came out, and I still think it is brilliant. TM II however was pretty uneven to say the least, but it contained one of Bowie's finest songs (Goodbye Mr Ed).

@Random Internet Trek Dork: You obviously have no clue about who produced Bowie's albums. The Berlin trilogy was produced by Bowie and Visonti. Eno was not involved as a producer as Visconti has stated several times in interviews. Also, many Bowie albums were not produced by Visconti. To name a few: Hunky Dory, Ziggy…
