Hey Bill, you called this - and rightly so - old Bowie.  How 'bout some new Bowie.  My top three recommendations from the new record:
1. Dirty Boys
2. I'd Rather be High
3. Boss of Me

But the new album is quite good, and the first single released a few months back, "Where Are We Now" is not indicative of the rest.

It was easier to face the changes when this song came out; I was 11 years old. Now I'm 52 and the message is so much more bitter. {#Think}

nice to see that Bill has reverted to the Hunky Dory cover art.

I'm always amazed to recall that this tune comes from Hunky Dory back in '71, its retained a contemporary tone throughout the years, IMHO.

  All Bowie is good/great Bowie. Quite a diversity here in my opinion. You have the ability to dig into his catalog. I have all his albums but then I'm spoiled (and I know what I like).

Ditto.  I'm seriously sick of the usual Bowie tunes.  He has so much stuff.  Why not something more obscure?

If you knew anything, anything, about the relationship between Marc and David, than you would not be making this post.

You're probably thinking of the ChangesOne and ChangesTwo albums, which had different covers. When these were combined for the CD market - I believe the result was actually all of ChangesOne and a few songs awkwardly cherry picked from ChangesTwo - we got this Photoshop beauty on the cover of the resulting Changes album.

I agree. ONE egocentric portrait would have worked fine, and made for a more attractive cover. {#Crowded}

Great song.  Too bad it sounds so lame compared to the last three tracks you've played.

This song and  many of David Bowie's songs are inside the soundtrack of my childhood.  Great  memories.

This album cover should be named "Me, me, me, me, me ,me ,me ,me ,me and me".
Even more egocentric than Prince.
Both are geniuses, anyway.

Ooooh, Jareth the Goblin King.  I love Bowie. Took me awhile, after watching him try to match Jagger's moves in the video of "Dancing In The Street," but the man's got a style all his own. And I still love "Heroes" and "Suffragette City."

Yeah, he was scary great. And I do mean scary. And great. A visionary rabble-rouser, really.

Probably he's victim of the Now That Everybody's Appropriated His Sound And Made It Mainstream, It Doesn't Sound So Original Anymore syndrome.

Bowie is one of those guys - chameleons in pop - that changed music and made a difference. More than MJ did IMO . . .

I know it preceded Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane, since he performed it on the Ziggy Stardust concert film that Pennebaker made in 73. Wikipedia says it was Hunky Dory, for what that's worth. Definitely from early in his career. No offense, but I don't think it's "pop." It's not a rocker like Watch That Man or Rebel Rebel, but it's a pretty decent tune, IMO. 

  

Hunky Dory is a folky, mellow almost jazzy and yes poppy album musically.  But check out the darkness of many of the lyrics.

Now if you want rock, look at the book ends, Man Who Sold the World - almost but not quite metal - and Ziggy - great classic hard riff driven guitar rock

Interesting. I just heard this song come on and looked at the ratings on the RP. I saw that I had given it a 2 some time in the past. And that's still what I give it. I paged down and could scarcely find a negative comment from everyone. So now I feel guilty for being negative, but honestly, I have always thought Bowie was all about style, and nothing about substance. He irritates the heck out of me. Don't know why I am writing this - feel like I am shouting into the wilderness. But it needed to be said. Didn't it? No? OK, just forget I said anything.
 
Thanks for your civility.

No go back and buy The Man Who Sold the World, Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust, Alladin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, Low, Heroes, Lodger, and Scary Monsters, and tell me why you don't think he was among the most consitently prolific and substantive artists in rock and roll in the 1970-1980 time frame.

Or read comments from punks and new wavers of the 70s, post-punks and new romantics of the 80's, indie artists like frank black, billy corgan, Curt Cobain and countless others and tell me you don't think Bowie was among the more influential artists  of all time.
