>Black Tie White Noise
I'm genuinely offended that this would make anyone's top 15
Is it wrong of me to call myself a Bowie fan even if I've only heard about 8 of his albums?
As in "I've heard an estimate of 8 of his albums", not "There are only 8 albums of his that I've heard about"
1. Station to Station
2. Low
3. Lodger
4. Blackstar
I say I'm a Bowie fan all the time yet I've listened only to these
Ya gotta at least listen to Ziggy Stardust, that's quintessential Bowie
I'm nearly finished listening to all his albums and that's depressing
This but replace BTWN with Outside.
Ah, but how would you rank those?
Blackstar > Outside > Low > Station to Station > Ziggy > the rest >> Heathen > Let's Dance
so it's safe to say 4 years on that no-one actually liked the next day, it was all bullshit 'le return to form' hype?
as long as we can all admit that and move on that's okay. hell, he even went on to release a genuinely good album afterwards!
Why the fuck does everyone hate BTWN so much?
God damn it wasn't that bad guys. It was a sweet album. Jump They Say is one of the first songs I ever heard from him.
this tbqh, I only care for 1 or 2 songs on the next day

11. Hunky Dory
12. Man who Sold the World
13. Young Americans
14. Heathen
15. The Next Day
It wasn't bad, just boring and forgettable. I'd say it's on par with his 2000's stuff, maybe slightly less.
I don't hate it! Jump They Say is one of his best songs. I just prefer Outside. I'm by the way.
Fair enough. I guess I was referring more to the other user.
The Next Day wasn't a 'return to form' album, it was a 'return' album. it had been a decade since he released Reality and all signs pointed to his being done with music. I dig the album but wouldn't put it among his best.
I never liked anything from Bowie EXCEPT for Blackstar. Blackstar is fucking great and I love it and the rest of his discography and go straight to hell. Except for this one song, Love is Lost, but only the remix by James Murphy. The ten minute one, not the abridged four minute version.
What do if you only enjoy Bowie's pop songs? I mean stuff like Cracked Actor and Let's Dance are the only Bowie songs I can enjoy desu
>and the rest of his discography and go straight to hell
You and I both know that's a little extreme.
if you only like one bowie album you cant be considered a fan. gtfo this thread pl0x
>thinking being a fan is a badge of honour

nope, actual ranking
>rare opinions
they're rare because they're unanimously bad opinions
samefag ziggyfa(n)gboys
Ziggy isn't his best, but it's by far bad - how mentally damaged do you have to be
>Ziggy isn't his best, but it's by far bad

i like a lot of the tracks on it, but i don't feel like it flows as well as many many of his other albums

Lazarus (cast recording)

Baal
Tin Machine
1. Anthology 1966-68

3. Hunky Dory
4. Live Santa Monica 72'
5 Aladdin Sane
6. Diamond Dogs
7. The Gouster
8. Staton to Station
9. Low
10. Heroes
11. Lodger
12. Platinum Collection Best of 1980-87
13. 1.Outside
14. Heathen
15. Black Star
Can we include live albums?
no
Most his songs are POP songs. If you just want the poppy stuff you still have a huge list of songs you'd like.
I love BTWN. It's got so many feel-good songs on it.
Finally! Someone else who loves the album!
Admittedly it took me a while to warm up to it, but now it's my go-to album whenever I feel down.
How would you rank the songs tho?
