Re: The two best pre-Berlin Bowie albums
If I had to come up with a reason that I like Ziggy better than AS, Ziggy has such a flow start to finish. I couldn't possibly listen to single Ziggy song with having the opening strains of the next song automatically play in my head when it ends. I'd put most AS songs on the same greatness level as the Ziggy songs, except the tracks AS & Lady Grinning Soul, though not bad songs, are occasional "skippers"Wolter wrote:Who am I to argue?

Re: The two best pre-Berlin Bowie albums
Ziggy is one of the best works ever put to vinyl. If David had kept repeating that formula for years I would be his number one fan.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
Re: The two best pre-Berlin Bowie albums
I'm not saying Ziggy's bad--it's a great record. But I feel like AS is a bit more rockin.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Remember, Bowie doesn't make mistakes. His ways are mysterious and done for reasons we mortals cannot understand. Any artistic failures were done deliberately...probably to save us from ourselves.

Sadly I'm not sure I'd be able to tell your laughter from a sentence in Geordie.
