    Where to start with David Bowie?

    Where to start with David Bowie?

    I'm also new to Bowie's music. As can be seen from the avatar, I'm an 80s guy, so the first cd I picked up was the Ryko "Scary Monsters and Super Creeps"-for the green plastic as much as anything else. After hearing "Teenage Wildlife", I knew I had to hear more, so "Ziggy Stardust" was next...

    Quote: Originally Posted by krmathis Yeah, hence why I used the "most" word, as I know there are exceptions. Thanx for the reply. I'm one of the those who thought the further one goes back(ie. the 80s) the better the cds sound. It wasn't until I looked at others' views of that...

    why do people dislike itunes?

    Actually, I like older versions of iTunes better than the newer ones. Anyone remember the 'brushed metal' look? The plain grid option is iTunes best feature IMO. It makes my library just a lot easier to get around in and easier to organize than others I've used. The more Apple gets away from...

    Greatest debut album of all time?

    Forgot about A Ha-that's good stuff. Actually I was ready to nominate Lowest of the Low's Shakespeare My Butt, but then realised I hadn't heard the whole album, so that would be cheating.* Also wanted to nominate The Watchmen's In the Trees, but found out that was not their debut album...

    Albums that tell a story/have a unifying theme across all tracks

    What about the Electric Light Orchestra's Eldorado? I've always liked Can't Get It Out of My Head but is the rest of the album worth picking up?

    MOST OVERRATED

    In light of some of the thoughtful posts in this thread, I'm not sure exactly what overrated means. All I know is that I am sick and tired of hearing how great Radiohead is.

    When it comes to Rolling Stones Abkco releases US or UK?

    I've only had experience with Aftermath. Unable to decide, I bought both UK and US versions. I don't know about "better". The US version is slimmed down but includes Paint It, Black, which I had to have. The UK version doesn't include Paint It, Black but you get Mother's Little Helper, Take It...
