Best of Bowie»rank: 474by: David Bowie
0ur opinion: :Though one of rock's most influential figures, David Bowie's accomplishments are pocked by some distinct ironies. His willful efforts at being a musical and visual chameleon spurred triumphs in genres as diverse as folk, glam, new wave, and electronica. Given the dizzying range and success of his '7Os incarnations--from Ziggy to the Thin White Duke to the gaunt, goth-cypher of Low and Heroes--he seemed the artist most well-equipped to weather the changing tides of taste and trend, yet saw ...

The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust»rank: 1271by: David Bowie
0ur opinion: essential recording:After flirting with heavy guitar rock ('The Man Who Sold the World') and lighter pop ('Hunky Dory'), Bowie found middle ground on Ziggy Stardust. The creation of the Ziggy Stardust persona would live on well after Bowie shed the alien skin, marking the first rock concept album by a sexually ambiguous, artistically bent musician who confounded critics at every turn. A blend of dramatic strings, swaggering saxophones, jagged guitars, and theatrical arrangements, the album's darker rock numbers ...

Hunky Dory»rank: 1350by: David Bowie
0ur opinion: :Manufactured in Japan. CD sits within an exact replica of the original vinyl packaging including the inside sleeve. Packaging includes the Japanese spine sleeve. : The precursor to Bowie's masterpiece, The Rise And Fall of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars, Hunky Dory points in many of the same musical directions as Ziggy, with Bowie camping it up outrageously through a mixture of cabaret piano, coquettish lyrics and soaring vocals. After the hard rock 'The Man Who ...

Low»rank: 14200by: David Bowie
0ur opinion: :Always up for messing with the formal expectations of rock, Bowie teamed up with Brian Eno for three frustrating but compelling albums, starting with Low. Treated instruments are claustrophobically crowded together, and Bowie's voice leaps in and out of the mix seemingly at will. Where it seems like it might show up, it's replaced by wailing synths or nothing at all, and it vanishes altogether from most of the second half-- a series of long, menacing, barely mobile synth ...

Station to Station»rank: 8907by: David Bowie
0ur opinion: :Limited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve. 2OO7. essential recording:After the success of the dance hits 'Fame' and 'Young Americans' (both off 1975's Young Americans), Bowie seemed to step back, ponder the future of rock, and then turn up the guitars and the art-rock sensibilities and make a completely engaging and evocative album. From the epic title track (introducing the Thin White Duke character and building into an incendiary rocker) ...

The Man Who Sold the World»rank: 11872by: David Bowie
0ur opinion: :Manufactured in Japan. CD sits within an exact replica of the original vinyl packaging including the inside sleeve. Packaging includes the Japanese spine sleeve. :With 197O's The Man Who Sold the World, David Bowie set aside his pop and singer-songwriter aspirations and headed in a harder-rocking direction. Producer Tony Visconti provided a thick, dense setting with guitarist Mick Ronson playing the role of guitar hero to Bowie's megalomaniac frontman; think Keith Richards and Mick Jagger sprinkled with fairy ...
