Which phases of Bowie's career do you like best? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

For me Station To Station to Scary Monsters is someof the fienst work out there. Hunky Dory is a terric and imagiantive album, Ziggy one of the firest concept bums that features top tunes (Staran) out there. And tes, Diamond DOgs is underrtayed.

Love The New Day; Have to say it's the full version that's best. The second CD completes the album sequence that the single disc release hints at. Funny how I picked the full set up for 25% less than the single CD.

1. Outside is very interesting. The Heart's Filthy Lesson a recent classic. I like a lot of his more recent work from Black Tie / White Noise onward. New Bowie is always good and he is one of the most innovative and courageous songwriters out there. He has great bands with superb arrangements helping out.

Frankly I am most amused at his whole marketing approach, Visuals sell so he did that to the pop market while supplying some of the finest and non pop oriented (and the converse) prog rock available. Try doing that without an image and you're, um, King Crimson (Red plays as I type). Who are these guys btw? Some heroes or super creeps? ;)

Bowie is the sexiest man alive!!!! I sound like a broken record but have been saying this for years!

God I love him, his best years however for me were his first 7 albums.

My favs are The Man Who Sold the World, Hunky Dory and Low/Heroes. I also find his 90s electronic/industrial era to be terribly underappreciated.

This night wounds time.

Just been ranking up his best songs!

Listening to the Blackstar title and it's fabulous...even a little, if you'll forgive me, retro -

I'll take the Lodger/Heroes/Scary Monsters trio as my fave Bowie years...Bowie+Eno+Fripp = a big winner. 2nd fave would be the Tin Machine albums Wink

Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987

The absolute high point was Ziggy Stardust and Diamond Dogs

Diamond dogs has surely got to be Mr David Jones at his most progressive.

Hard to say really as I enjoy monsieur Bowie at (nearly) all stages of his illustrious career. My faves of his are Man who sold the world, Station to Station, Low and the criminally overlooked Lodger.

Never can understand why Lodger gets the shaft. Fine album.

Anyway while I'm here, I just thought I'd mention the box set of 1. Outside to Heathen is terrific. Each set a 2 CD album, including replica album art (amusing for the excerpts from Outside which is the equivalent of a 2 LP set. The 2nd CD compiles all the related tracks per release, saving time, money etc on hunting things down. What's more, and quite interesting, is the retaining of each title in their own group e.g. the several versions of I'm Afraid Of Americans which generate their own little mini concept suites with the different arrangements being highlighted. (Especially in the bass work).

My copy arrived the day after he died. Talk about mixed feelings.
