I went digging through some old stuff and found an old treasure.
My copy of David Bowie's "Hunky Dory" that went missing about 10-12 years ago.
w00t!
I completely forgot this music existed... such a brilliant pop album, cover to cover.
Any other early (or later... I still dig Tin Machine) Bowie fans? |

But I think even more than that era, I like the Lodger/Scary Monsters era the best. I love Lodger because of Adrian Belew's guitar work, and I love Scary Monsters because of Adrian Belew's guitar work. Absolutely brilliant stuff. I think the reason I don't like Bowie's most recent stuff so much is because he no longer has a guitarist people can identify with. Bowie's always needed that. For the early years there was Mick Ronson. Then there was Earl Slick, then Carlos Alomar, then Belew, Stevie Ray Vaughan, then Slick again, then Peter Frampton, then Reeves Gabrels. All complete individuals with their own great styles. But he doesn't seem to have that going for him with his current band. I don't even know the guitarist's name. |

It's amazing in my constant quest for new music, the amount of kickin' stuff I just plain forget I like 
I also found my "Eric Burdon Band" cassette.... but that's the next thread  |

"Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah!"
I had one of the rereleases, however, and man do I love "Velvet Goldmine"!!! What a groove! It has such a great bounce to it.
Trevor Bolder did a fantastic job on that album. Also, I completely agree about Bowie's memorable guitarists of the past (and that nobody knows the current guy's name). I guess a band really is the sum of its parts (not just a one man show--not that it's necessarily the case here..us not knowing his name).

| | | | Hunky Dory is incredible. Andy Warhol is killer. I also like TmWSTW. I have cd copies with bonus songs, like HOLY,HOLY. I usually listen to it twice. I have all Bowie up to Low. Wow, know I have this urge to pull out the acoustic guitar! I may even put on the ziggy makeup and play music in front of Walmart, right next to the religious guy. That would be fun. Too bad, I am on vacation in Idaho now. |
