Hooray! I was first!

Hey! Wheres the "He let himself down by moving to Glam"?

First three albums are genius - Ziggys OKish, if over-rated and a drop from the quality of the previous - law of diminishing returns thereafter with the odd splash of brilliance

[wrighty47]

All albums up to 1974 are classics. I Hated Young Americans! He returned to form over the next few albums, peaking with Scary Monsters, then faded into the aging once-classic star that's capable of the odd quality track.

He'll always be one of Britain's greatest imho!

Alan!

oh yeah: guv'na

It was all downhill after Laughing Gnome

[House of Usher]

Oh, I think it went uphill again after that.

[Bico]

NONE of the lasses on the board fancy him?  What's up with that?

[Max Kon]

Which is the man that fancies him?

[esoteric ed]

Love him or hate him, there's no escaping the fact that Mr Jones is a musical legend, he's outlived so many acts throughout the years and although imho his recent albums are weak, the great man has delivered some classic albums in his timeon this rock.

I was weened on his early 70's albums and agree with Alan that he peaked with the Scary Monsters album.

Fave album? "Aladdin Sane" :-)

Speaking of Bowie, I saw Ian McCullough from the Bunnymen singing "Heroes" live last night here in the Pool.

I loved the first changes album (I think, his first `best hits` album). Scary Monsters was terrific as was `Heroes` (although, am I the only person who found the title track pretty boring?)
  Julie Burchill described his credibility pretty well in an essay called `better cred than dead` (available in the collection `love it or shove it`). In it, she explains various rules of credibility for singers, one of which is that once you lose your cred you never get it back. The exception to this is David Bowie, who is always cool.
 I think that`s pretty true. `Let`s Dance` was bloody awful but he came back

[The Monarch]

Um I think you can guess my dad was a fun when i say that my full name is David Bowie page

[Wils]

Aieee! Burchill fan!

Now be fair, Floyd hasn't actually said he's a fan.

Then again, he DID quote J*l** B*rch*ll...
