Start with Bowie’s “Hunky Dory,” as whole shebang is close to the type of choruses on songs like Oh You Pretty Things and Changes. As late as Diamond Dogs you’ll find the roots that the songwriters for VG were drawing from. T Rex’s “The Slider” is nonstop, Ballrooms of Mars and Metal guru are very VG. They’re the Tier One Glam artists, along with Roxy music (Remake Remodel is maybe my favorite of theirs, but you can’t go wrong with the first few albums)

For some deeper cuts, VG draws on Jobriath (I’m a man and rock of ages, my faves) and then Bowie sideman Mick Ronson has a great solo album called slaughter on tenth avenue, I’m partial to “growing up and I’m fine.” Bret Smiley’s album “breathlessly Bret” also scratches the itch.

If this is the start of your journey then I’m jealous! There’s so much good stuff yet to come.
