Bowie - Definitive NSCs favourite album Poll

[sully]

LET'S DANCE

Forgot about that earlier. Fantastic album. Let's Dance, China Girl, Modern Love, come on!

Indeed. I didn't notice it said vote for 3 and only voted for this one.

Aladdin Sane and Hunky Dory would probably have got my other votes.

1. Low
2. Station to Station
3.Ziggy Stardust

I tend to like anything he did up to & including Diamond Dogs, but for me "Bowie At The Beeb" is beyond epic. I've always preferred live recordings over studio offerings, which probably accounts for my choice here. The songs have a wonderful raggedness to them, and some of Mick Ronson's guitar work is superb even by his standards. The only let down for me on the album is the exclusion of Drive In Saturday & Life On Mars

Had to be Ziggy for me although Hunky Dory came a close second. In my younger days I once compiled a cassette attempting to capture all my favourite songs and it started with "Five Years" by Bowie. If I did the same today, it still would. Awesome lyrics and such an understatedly powerful song. Still gives me goosebumps.

 

[KLUNK]

It's the Berlin trilogy for me, Low, Lodger & "Heroes." It all went a bit downhill from there.

I'm exactly of the same opinion. I'm gonna be cheeky & choose a 4th,Diamond Dogs. Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing(reprise) & Big Brother/Chant Of The Ever Circling Skeletal Family all classic Bowie

From 1971 to 1981 in my opinion he could do no wrong - after that a bit of a sad decline.....

Recently bought 'All Saints' Collected Instrumentals 1972-99 - some top stuff on there including the whole of the second side of Low which is probably my favourite Bowie Album.

I voted for Ziggy, it's got so many great tracks but my favourite is really Scary Monsters, it's an unique album with incredible guitar work from Robert Fripp.

 

[Twizzle]

I don't find his albums have aged well, but Aladdin Sane is his apex for me.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Not a huge fan.

Best song- Sound and Vision.
Best album- Low

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Just looked at the poll.

No surprise at the lack of votes for his latest efforts.

New album could be as bad as recent output or a complete revelation. I fear the former.

Great call.
This is one of the twelve cover versions they did as part of The Hit Parade.
Takes me back a bit!

Apologies to "true" Bowie fans, but I love the "David Bowie" album! Uncle Arthur, Rubber Band, There Is A Happy Land, etc - these are lovely little pieces of melodrama, bizarre in parts, moving in others, very English, real period pieces. My wife hates it.

good for her
