Don't be ridiculous, Bowie's discography is gigantic, I'm not at Fripp's level of fanboy, but that doesn't make me not a fanboy.



"say that when you got the discog finished thanks don't reply, just do it"



If I just listened to the rest of Bowie's discography now instead of intermittently throughout the next couple of years, I'd probably appreciate the albums far less and not have a proper chance to analyze them all thoroughly. That really sounds like something I'd never do.

And analyze and enjoy them to their fullest extent? Yeah, I'm not one to ram music down my throat sorry.



I tend to only explore 5 to 8 albums a month on purpose. It's just my method, you clearly don't understand so whatever.

"explore 5 to 8 albums a month on purpose."



Tonight (1984)

Never Let Me Down (1987)

Black Tie White Noise (1993)

The Buddha of Suburbia (1993)

Outside (1995)

Earthling (1997)

Hours (1999)

Heathen (2002)



Eight albums - with the TM stuff and two albums left. So hard. You're right, it's such a challenge.

It's not about it being a challenge, it's about me not wanting to listen to material I haven't heard before by the same artist 12 or even "8" as you keep saying times in a row. You make it sound like work, when listening to music is supposed to be fun.



I don't listen to David Bowie, or any artist so I can flaunt my knowledge about him, I do it for myself, my own enjoyment. Do you not do that as well?

First Bowie album I've listened to, really. I've tried listening to Ziggy before but I digress. How long has he been doing this really soft vibrato ghost-like singing? I dig it

I think this is mostly a recent thing, since 'The Next Day' from what I've heard. Though I'm not really the biggest Bowie fan, so take my words with a grain of salt.

I think I've listened to lazarus 1000+ times since it dropped, don't think a song has ever screwed me up this much before

The playing around with different reverb tails on Lazarus on the saxophones is ridiculously sexy
