Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay this is to see what David Bowie albums people have in this guild, which one they like best, and of course oppinions on the albums. Rather simple.

okay, what I'm looking for is what cds people own and their favorites, as well as their comments on my oppinions of the ones I have, and see what their take of the albums is.

Now post away fellow Bowie fans.

The Man Who Sold the World
7/10

It's a good album, I adore the opening song to death. But it''s really in all reality going to sound about the same throughout the songs, the only ones that stuck out really were Black Country Rock and The Man Who Sold the World. It though shows some of the powerful sounds from the sixties. I recall once when my mom was asking about this album and commented it sounded sort of like a Led Zeppelin cd.

Space Oddity
8/10

A great album, to say the least. I enjoyed it because of the whymsical sounds of things such as The Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud and Cygnet Comitee was awesome as well. The title song didn't stick out quite all that much because I already knew it from best of Bowie. The downfall to this track is it's sort of repetitve in lyrics such as 'God Knows I'm Good' it's just not quite the Bowie I got used to. Otherwise this is awesome.


Hunky Dory
9/10

This album just rocks, plain and simple. Oh! You Pretty things is an awesome song as well as Life on Mars? those two always stuck out for me. It's good throughout except for a few places like eight line poem and Quicksand, but great otherwise. Bewlay Brothers is another awesome song to me, i enjoy it quite alot. The deep sound and then this much faster sound for a bit. And Queen b***h is just a plain fun song.

Other albums will be reviewed below later.

Station to Station
5/10

Maybe the reason I don't like this one quite that much is because it was put on my burnt coppy of Ziggy Stardust after it. With that said, I'll say what i remember of it. It didn't have a great sound to say the truth. TVC15 was a nice one. People often enjoy Golden Years, but I never liked that so for my oppinion that knocked it down.

David Live
6/10

To say the least, concerts should be watched, not just listened to. What I do enjoy out of it is the song All the Young Dudes, I liked it because I didn't have it, and well it wasn't his song altogether so he didn't get to put it on cds. The vocals went well with it, but the sound of background music was really alot lighter, I disliked that.

Best of Bowie
6/10

I never liked 'Best ofs' they really ruin the sounds of things. Also I disagreed with alot of these songs ever being hits, some I plain didn't like. Enough said.

I've got:
Space Oddity
Aladdin Sane
The Man who Sold the World
Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
Earthling
Best of Bowie
Layrinth soundtrack

My favorite is definately Ziggy Stardust.
This is only sort of related but a few days ago, I got bored and started reading CD booklets. In the Electric Warrior (by T. Rex) one, it said that Bowie's song Lady Stardust was about Marc Bolan, frontman of T. Rex. I'd never known that confused which is sort of strange since I'm such a rabid Bolan fan.

I eventually had to get my T. Rex cds online. No stores I looked at had them in stock.

Seemingly my dad at least has the single 'bang a gong' that's decent at least,. Now only if he had the full album. Either way, I could probably dig it out of somewhere at borders, as well as the pink floyd cd 'Music from the film more.'

I got a couple of mine at Hastings, but they don't stock them anymore around here. Surprisingly though, they had Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow. whee

Just to state oppinion, I never really enjoyed his new works, and always wondered why people liked the labryinth so much, it wasn't that great in my oppinion.
