Shake me up Judy Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Hunky Dory was one of the first albums I ever bought. Still get something from it every time I play it and I must have played it a hundred times. Not a duff track on it. I've always argued that it was Bowie's best album. I used to be a lone voice in that opinion but more people have since come round to the same view. Edited October 21, 2023 by Shake me up Judy 2 Quote

But best albums apart there are are a lot of individual tracks on other albums that are as least as good as those on HD. Some of my favourites are ( and this is a very small percentage of those) :- Moonage Daydream Width of a Circle Pallas Athena Loving the Alien Blackstar Wild is the Wind Lady Stardust Be my wife Station to Station Valentine’s Day I could go on and on but I won’t. It would perhaps be easier to list the Bowie tracks I don’t like. Which would include TVC 15 and DJ and just about all the Tin Machine and Pin Ups stuff. The man was a genius Quote

That's basically my view of it. On 10/16/2023 at 9:10 AM, Declan said: It's hardly an original idea though is it? Taylor Swift is rerecording her entire back catalogue. Ah yeah, but that's for a very different reason; after the rights to the music got sold out from underneath her. Frankly I think it's a genius move. Swift is this generation's phenomenon. Serious back catalogue and great lyrics - I'm secretly hoping my daughter gets into her. Quote

I have, and my one big question is why? More spoken than sung. Great Gig in the Sky for example. It’s nonsense. Nothing like the tour de force of the original. It does have its moments but seems more like a novelty record. Right I’ve listened to this three times now and although Rog namechecks me on this, if Ithis his had been released before the original I doubt it would have attracted little attention. Quote
