Reality, The Next Day, and Heathen are SO GOOD. It is rare that an artist who started in the '60s can keep producing such amazing work in the later era of their career.

@fishqueenkristi Ай бұрын

The last 2 essential bowie albums before Blackstar imo are Aladdin Sane and Hunky Dory

@Johanson0543 Ай бұрын

Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans,Earthlings, Heathen….

@PanarchyInTheUK Ай бұрын

Aladdin Sane is one of my favourites. And The Man Who Sold The World.

@Isaiahmonteiro31 Ай бұрын

Please do Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd! It’s my favorite album of all time :)

@epitaph3674 Ай бұрын

One of the best EVER

@QuietNDrive Ай бұрын

Literally my favorite too. I have it on vinyl. Wish You Were Here helped me to truely love music.

@illgillbates9561 Ай бұрын

YES!!! Also The Dark Side of the Moon is fantastic, I wish you'd check that out too. And after that 'Dub Side of the Moon', the reggae version of the album by Easy Star All Stars, which is also fantastic!!

@f.polytropos Ай бұрын

Almost there, you still need aladdin-sane and Hunky Dory before Blackstar

@Quonka Ай бұрын

Also Let’s Dance

@glovishly Ай бұрын

I would also say 1. Outside. That album definitely has its problems, but I still think it's a good album, and it's important in Bowie's progression.

@leefr76 Ай бұрын

And Diamond dogs

@glovishly Ай бұрын

@@leefr76 Diamond Dogs is great, but I wouldn't necessarily say he needs to do it before Blackstar. Definitely one he should do at some point though.

@wandersonoliveira263 Ай бұрын

@@glovishlyTbh, I think noBowie album is "necessary" before Blackstar (it was my fisrt Bowie), but context does matter. And I do think Diamond Dogs is important context, specially for the shift in vocal texture from the glamy treble nasal voice of the early years to the deep and dark tone of the letter. Also a concept album with the closest Bowie got to doing "heavy" music, I could compare the production to something like Igor, where it intentionally wants to sound kinda screwed up. And come on, Sweet Thing, We Are The Dead, 1984, these are all bangers.

the guitar player was Robert Fripp from King Crimson

@walterehmann8799 Ай бұрын

Such a great Bowie record. Hard to believe it came out right after the Berlin trilogy stuff. Such a cool change of pace. Don’t sleep on Let’s Dance, the album he did after this one. It’s probably his most pop forward but the songs are so damn good.

Yeah Outside is dramatically underrated, his 4th album with Eno. Earthling is also good stuff

My favourite Bowie record. Maybe because of Teenage Wildlife and Robert Fripp...

This album ranks way up there for me too on the strength of the players alone. Fripp especially but the whole band is killing it.

Aladdin Sane And Hunky Dory need to come next. You need the early Bowie to truly understand that he was a musical genius and masterful musician.

forgot to mention btw robert fripp from king crimson is on guitar, fucking crazy bastard 🔥

@Klui_ Ай бұрын

Teenage Wildlife is one of the best Bowie songs of all time, at times I feel it's my favorite ever, it's so strong, so dramatic, so powerful. With your question about It's No Game part 1 and 2, I personally feel like the difference represents how when you first find out about the corruption of the world, you're young, you're full of energy and fire, and you scream for change and for something better, but as you grow older and see the same exact problems, you get jaded, you still feel the same about these problems, but you got less edge to protest them, you've gotten tired, and so you grow quieter. That's my interpretation at least.

@shelleys9603 Ай бұрын

Scream Like a Baby is one of the highlights of his discography for me. So to each his own I guess... Thanks for reacting. Masterpiece of an album.

@richardanderson2820 Ай бұрын

It’s my favourite song on the album and top ten overall for me. It’s wonderful how music can be such different things to different people.

@otis6878 Ай бұрын

I've said it before but you should react to You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr. It influenced bands like Nirvana, My Bloody Valentine. The Sonic Youth song Teenage Riot is about J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr being president. Kurt Cobain also asked him to join nirvana twice!

@wandersonoliveira263 Ай бұрын

What I love about Fashion is how it works with its thematics. It's so repetitive that, whenever the thing you are expecting to happen doesn't happen, it kinda catches you off guard. Like when he says "Turn to left" and you expect him to say "turn to the right" like he said before, but he just says nothing. And you're like "I was caught by fashion, always expecting the same".

recs: The Postal Service - Give Up (Perfect indietronica album with the singer from Death Cab for Cutie) Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles (Insanely badass aura filled production and vocals, extremely unique) Weezer - Pinkerton (Some of the nicest sounding guitar/drums/everything you'll hear in 90s alt rock, with crazy honest lyrics, ended up inspiring some emo bands) The Prodigy - The Fat Of The Land (badass big-beat dance music) Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me (amazing ahead of its time 1987 alt/noise rock) Guided By Voices - Bee Thousand (lovely 90's lo-fi) Hella - Hold Your Horse Is (Math Rock with the drummer from Death Grips, before he was in Death Grips) Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (Absolutely perfect 90's indie rock album) Heavy emphasis on Pinkerton, there's basically no good reactions to it!!!

If you’re a fan, you should def do some more albums before Blackstar. I’d say at least Hunky Dory, Let’s Dance, Outside, and Earthling.

You can be sure young people appreciate his music. My 12 year old cousin made me start listening to him. She was obsessed with him for a long time, and then I started listening to him and I’ve been in the same boat ever since.

I'm 17 right now and Bowie was pretty much my gateway into music. He made me appreciate so many genres, even Hip-Hop and now I listen to every genre possible, all the way from 1953 to releases of this year!

You could totally go to Blackstar next, but you're missing a couple of key pieces of the early Bowie jigsaw that kind of informed it - Hunky Dory is full of great individual songs and Aladdin Sane is Ziggy x100. He has lots of other brilliant albums - Diamond Dogs, Let's Dance, Outside, Lodger, Young Americans, you'll find people in the comments recommending all of those as their favourite, and there are more - but whilst they're all really good, personally I'd say only Hunky Dory and Aladdin Sane are genuinely essential to round out your picture of the man who made Blackstar.
