The Vinyl Countdown # 1318

David Bowie, Tonight (1984) God only knows – I should think – what David Bowie thought he was doing covering God Only Knows. It’s almost the work of an impersonator, and maybe, by 1984, that’s exactly what David Bowie was – a David Bowie Impersonator. Someone else might tell you that’s all he’s ever been. […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1417

David Bowie, Let’s Dance (1983) I reckon this record gets a rough deal – it’s not that shit. It’s actually great. It’s got a bunch of great singles, great production (for/of the time).

The Vinyl Countdown # 1835

David Bowie, Heathen (2002) Some people rave about Heathen, some are not so sure – there’s obviously a huge amount of David Bowie fans who gave up on him years ago. It’s a perfectly acceptable/realistic approach, after all, to only listen to Bowie across the 1970s – it is a stunning body of work. So […]
