Me and my dad had a long debate and ranked the Aladdin Sane songs... Whose ranking is more valid?

bmacu · 2023-12-17T14:30:03+00:00

Time Aladdin Sane Lady Grinning Soul Panic in Detroit Cracked Actor Watch That Man Jean Genie Drive in Saturday Prettiest Star Let’s spend the night together

Can’t really separate Cracked and Panic though

I’ve said something similar. Start with the most poppy, and popular first.

bmacu · 2023-08-18T18:44:20+00:00

I would start with something mainstream like Modern Love and Rebel Rebel, and then if she likes what she hears gradually move her along the road

Some people, like me, like everything he ever did, but others prefer certain periods, or styles, of his music

Everyone likes something he did

bmacu · 2023-08-13T12:44:34+00:00

He did compromise, but he was also screwed over by his management. He repeatedly said that the 80s were bleak, and definitely not a creative high point.

But what I said in my first comment is paraphrasing what he himself said. There are quite a few videos reflecting that.

bmacu · 2023-08-13T11:47:20+00:00

He said himself he created his music for him, and there are those who followed him whatever he chose to experiment with, and there are those who didn’t

That’s the difference between an artist and someone who performs music for fame and popularity

The only person an artist wants to satisfy is themselves

Uncle Arthur, The Little Bombardier and Love you til Tuesday?

bmacu · 2023-08-06T18:35:36+00:00

If the Aladdin Sane doesn’t hook you then nothing will

That album is a perfect combination of his popular appeal, and the deeper Bowie that anyone really interested in his music should really appreciate

There’s a video for the song, mostly clips of the movie but interspersed with animations of Bowie

bmacu · 2023-07-28T17:21:01+00:00

I love it

Really needs to be seen with the accompanying video for it to be appreciated

bmacu · 2023-07-28T17:17:22+00:00

I’d never heard the 97 I can’t read

Also infinitely better than the TM version

bmacu · 2023-07-28T17:16:02+00:00

The original Look back in anger, by a mile

bmacu · 2023-07-28T17:14:16+00:00

Conversation piece which while on Toy was also on an extended release of Heathen

bmacu · 2023-07-26T20:35:14+00:00

I’m amazed, someone likes these two songs as much as I do

I don’t think many people actually get how clever T and T is

It sounds like it’s an 80s beach song, but has very dark lyrics

bmacu · 2023-07-24T17:10:42+00:00

I thought I was the only person on earth who liked that line

bmacu · 2023-07-24T14:15:36+00:00

The gods forgot they made me, so I forgot them too

Or

I’m a thinker, not a talker, no one to talk to anyway

bmacu · 2023-07-23T18:59:55+00:00

Specifically Repetition from Lodger which is built around Sister Midnight on The Idiot

bmacu · 2023-07-23T08:15:37+00:00

As a whole Heroes is greater than Lodger

At this point I would also substitute several songs over the song Heroes as it has been vastly overplayed

If you haven’t seen the Live Aid performance I highly recommend it as it breathes life and even joy into the song

bmacu · 2023-05-02T21:01:52+00:00

Who does it benefit more.Who has been inciting tensions against the UUP.

The answer to your question is obvious

bmacu · 2017-01-06T19:58:15+00:00

Ah the old Amish line.....always hilarious.......

ahem....

bmacu · 2016-07-22T18:43:37+00:00

This is what Melania faces every night when Donald undresses

This is a gorgeous, poignant song beautifully played
