I want to see these photographs.

As for Bowie, for the longest time the only records of his that really got to me were Hunky Dory, Ziggy, and Aladdin Sane. And then I took a liking to Station To Station, Low, and all of those albums. Hearing Scary Monsters was akin to hearing Ziggy for the first time. I've been stuck on Scary Monsters ever since.

& why I wrote really repetitive..as in too many songs sound too similar...

And I applaud your fantastic taste.

Your two cents bores me to tears. Sorry.
By your username I infer that you're someone that obviously likes, (excuse me while I gag) Sleater-Kinney and probably likes a lot of even more boring music.

There is no argument that is valid that would find S-K higher in the rock pantheon than Bowie. Your own rather idiosyncratic leanings are a farce.

But nothing has ever been like hearing The Slider (specifically the song). No Bowie, no nothing. "The Slider" is one of those songs (and I really can't think of another song that has ever done this to me) that made me feel short of breath the first time I heard it.

You're not going to start asking me about every glam record ever made now are you?

[Everyneurotic]

Keep in mind that I'm a bit of an idiot, and you'll probably like it just fine.

I don't know if it's gay or not, but it's certainly ghey.

Not until Boy George anyway (I know he wasn't glam, but he sure sucked up the image and made it his own). Up to that point it was just pretty straight boys pretending to be gay, even to the point of sucking cock on occasion in Bowie's case.

Anyway, I love 90% of all T. Rex. Tyranosuarus Rex was some of the best psych-folk of it's day, and Electric Warrior is pure genius - all that guitar pop should be. I even like Dandy in the Underworld and think it blows Lets Dance out of the water for a reinvent oneself as a synth new romantic record. I honestly believe that if he hadn't died in that car wreck he could have resisted letting Trent Reznor produce him in the '90s too - Bolan had that rare quality called taste.

Oh, burn.

Though I do think that Bowie was beyond help long before the Trent Reznor fiasco.

I do wonder what would have become of Marc. I feel awful for his son, mostly because he was so small when his dad died, but also because his name is Rolan Bolan.

is that the double edition with the alternative version of the album? i need to get it, i think zinc alloy is wonderful. the slider is probably the best "glam" album ever. i also like all the early tyrannosaurus rex things.

it blows my mind that anyone could not love, and in fact would try and deny the genius of anyone that released a record entitled " a beard of stars" !!!

or an album called "my people were fair and had sky in their hair... but now they're content to wear stars on their brows"

 

[Torn Curtain]

I have Electric warrior but I didn't get into it (I think I prefer Bowie and Roxy Music), I'll give it another listen.

Actually, even worse than Bowie letting Trent try to recreate himself in an older more coke damaged body, is what happened when Reznor "produced" Gary Numan!
