Never did like Bowie, and never will. Just doesn't hit me right, for some reason. Music in his albums are 3rd rate lower rock, if that. Musicians are lousy. Having said that, other albums you have posted in past times have been great to listen to.
When i was a little kid...maybe 10 or 11...early 70s...I bought the "Space Oddity" 7" 45. For some reason "The man who sold the world" was the B side. I had never heard that song (no radio airplay) and i remember it blew my mind.
Been streaming in Radio Dos (costa rican station with bad 70s and 80s music) on Alexa. Makes for great back ground music while cooking dinner, plus they give surf report updates which keeps the stoke alive.
Bowie loved mott the hoople. After their first album was a cult favorite, they replaced the singer with ian hunter, had three successive failures, and bowie to the rescue. He offered them suffragette city, they declined, he wrote all the young dudes for them and it was their biggest hit. Bowie produced the album, played all saxophones and did backing vocals, too. The album also is noteworthy because it opens with lou reed/vu sweet jane and includes their guitarist mick ralphs song ready for love which is on his later group badco album.
Coming at you from St. Petersburg Florida. The Hip Abduction! My wife and I are going to see them for the 2nd time tomorrow evening at a surfer bar a couple hours North of us. Can't wait!
