The same thing could be said with Remain In Light.
>>
bowie's name and face are on the cover
>>
You're giving Eno too much credit. What about Station to Station?
>>
>>60590172
Remain in Light is Eno + Kuti
>>
>>60590161
Because without Bowie Eno couldn't have done it. Even in Subterraneans Bowie completes it.
>>
you can say it about every "bowie" album

Brian Eno was a close friend and artistic confidante during that time but the only contribution he legally made to Low was Warszawa. David Bowie wrote most of the material.

Brian hasn't been involved with every bowie album. Generalize elsewhere.

"Eno was responsible for a good deal of the direction and composition of the second side of the album"

You know RYM isn't the only music authority in existence right?
>>
>>60590396
at most Brian Eno had an effect on experiments and what the music sounded like but it was all Bowie's writing.

That's Wikipedia, m8.
>>
but it's not

bowie, eno and visconti all were surprised at how much credit eno got for it
>>
>>60590249
Plus Low probably gave Eno's music and music like it an audience it never had before. For some reason people seem to downplay Bowie's influence on /mu/, but given that this was certified gold in two countries, it probably inspired a lot of music like it.

Ziggy Stardust>Heroes>Low

none of them are above a 6/10 though
