Yeah I've found that to be true too. Even pin ups has here comes the night.



This album keeps getting better and better, my only gripe is it should be 7 songs haha. This is going to fuck up shuffle on my bowie playlist

"My only gripe is it should be 7 songs haha."



This is precisely why I think this one gets lost in the shuffle a bit. Like if Sweet Thing was just one track it'd def be one of his most highly lauded song but being split in three it kind of fractures the listening experience in a way? Same with the closing duo.

discog walk; excellent album by an extraordinary artist, i am not a core enthusiast of Bowie, but i always like him and his music. In Diamond Dogs, their is a lot of experimentation, well done. We need to not forget that it was released in 1974. Avant-guard artist, right here.

I rate this higher than hunky Dory and Aladdin sane but those are pretty close too. Best discography ever

"I have seen multiple people saying the guitar riff on Rebel Rebel is weird and feels weird to play, can't figure out why"



its easy to play but difficult to make it sound exactly like the record for whatever reason



even sounds kinda off in bowie's own live performances

Yeah that's that I did when I went through his discography earlier this year. Listened to each album like 3+ times before moving on.. except for shit like pinups and some of his bad 80s stuff (altho there's usually at least 1-3 salvageable tracks, except for never let me down, that album is a piece of shit).



You building a playlist while doing this? I ended up with one that has I think around 80+ songs on it

No lady grinning soul?!? All really great picks tho. Man who sold the world is like a 3.5/5 for me. It has some great stuff but it's not even in his top ten for me



Here's the playlist I made, if you're interested: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5bD3agDXeYJCqyRDR9YEBz?si=0_AQHtmKQjeeWDaQi8-X4g&utm_source=copy-link



I forgot to add tracks from his last three albums, maybe I'll do that today

I've been working my way through the discography recently as well (up to Outside now). Prior to the last few months I was only familiar with a few of the 70s and early 80s classics plus Blackstar.



A bunch of hidden gems so far, and his "bad" albums are pretty much always just rather bland instead of terrible.

I have a few bowie lists in the works



Main one I want to do it a ranking of his live albums. His original live albums were never all that well received and now that his archives are being emptied there's like 30 of them to choose from... a lot of them actually quite good but will never be checked by most people because of the overwhelming quantity now available. Think I just have the reality tour left

yeah sunny i'd agree for MOST of his bad albums. i think his debut is pretty bad though, and never let you down. everything else tends to have some bangers on it surrounded by a lot of mediocre stuff. overall tho god damn his discog is consistent. ziggy, station to station, low, lodger, outside, blackstar, heroes, aladdin sane, diamond dogs, hunky dory, scary monsters, heathen, the next day. and even though they're not as good: let's dance, buddha of suburbia, the man who sold the world, space oddity. legendary

Yeah, the debut is kinda bad, although in a somewhat interesting way. Never Let You Down is also quite weak, although, like nearly all of his albums I found at least one keeper (there's something to Glass Spider in my book).



I've given a lot of 3.5-4 ratings through the discog so far, I don't think I'm as partial to Bowie's "second-tier" work as some people and there's only maybe five of his albums that I'd say are full-scale classics or near, but given he had releases over so many decades it's pretty incredible that almost all of his albums have at least a couple fantastic tracks.
