Also did so much cocaine during the making of Station to Station that he doesn't remember making it at all.

His comment on the location of the studio where it was recorded:
"I know it was in LA because I've read it was"

You fucking nigger he's made albums just as good as those
>>
>>61009849
Everything except the title track which is one of his best songs
>>
>>61009886
I thought that only applied to pin-ups. If that's true, it scares me that Bowie in his most drugged up could still write the lyrics to that album, as well as making up a cocaine addicted character to play inside the album. Did he write the songs in station to station himself?
>>
>>61010289
The whole band was on cocaine during the recordings. Give S2S's wikipedia page a read, its interesting as fuck
>>
>>61010289
>Did he write the songs in station to station himself?
all but the last one
>>
>>61010383
the man's a fucking genius then.

>>61009849

Are you fucking kidding me? It's one of his best.

Op, there are two different ways to listen to Bowie.

The first is to listen to everything he did between 1970-1983 in any order you want, though I would recommend starting with either Ziggy, Station To Station or Low.

The second version, is to listen to everything he did in that time period chronologically to really understand the scope of how his music changed and progressed.

You can skip the album "Pinups." It's a cover album and not good. Everything else from that time period is essential.

>>61008769
why do people spend their time on autistic boards?
>>
>>61007638
Don't do it anon. It'll end in tears. You will break your own heart and become jaded like the rest of us. Pick up Low and Changes One and just be done with it.
>>
>>61010587
shitposting and putting effort into making that retarded chart are not the same thing

Everything from '69 - 82' is pretty much essential
>>
>>61010421
Yes, you know, I think I've heard that said about him before a couple of times.
>>
>>61007677
underrated silliness
>>
>>61007638
Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust is all you need from David Bowie
>>
>>61010688
this is a much better chart
>>
>>61007713
Station to Station is NOT optional
