Mary Jane's Last Dance sounds pretty fucking familiar, doesn't it Rip Off Chili Peppers? -

While also maintaining that mainstream success? Not many really. There are many acts I'm into that do so I agree with you in essence but they occupy the space whereby they are well known but not the behemoths that fill stadiums.
I think the bands that don't evolve over such a long period of time are the exception rather than the rule, though. -

RS: Have you heard the Red Hot Chili Peppers song "Dani California"¯ yet, because obviously it sounds a lot like "Mary Jane's Last Dance"?
Petty: Yes, I have. Everyone everywhere is stopping me. The truth is, I seriously doubt that there is any negative intent there. And a lot of rock & roll songs sound alike. Ask Chuck Berry. The Strokes took "merican Girl"[for their song "Last Nite"¯], and I saw an interview with them where they actually admitted it. That made me laugh out loud. I was like, "OK, good for you."¯ It doesn't bother me. -
I meant the Peppers ripped off Petty! -
Well everyone rips off someone...

That's just it, I love listening to Sounds of the 60s with Brian Matthews and I'm always amazed at how many bands covered each other, ripped off riffs and stuff. It's part of the creative process.

Registered 12 years agoBefore he died I only really knew Station to Station, Low and Ziggy Stardust, so I've been listening to some of his other albums recently. Hunky Dory is amazing. Let's Dance is also ace. Heroes is not really clicking with me (brilliant title track aside), but I'll persevere with it. Where next? -

Registered 12 years agoThe stories about the Station to Station period are pretty funny. From Wikipedia:
According to biographer David Buckley, the Los Angeles-based David Bowie, fuelled by an "astronomic" cocaine habit and subsisting on a diet of peppers and milk, spent much of 1975–76 "in a state of psychic terror". Stories—mostly from one interview, pieces of which found their way into Playboy and Rolling Stone—circulated of the singer living in a house full of ancient Egyptian artefacts, burning black candles, seeing bodies fall past his window, having his semen stolen by witches, receiving secret messages from The Rolling Stones, and living in morbid fear of fellow Aleister Crowley aficionado Jimmy Page. Bowie would later say of L.A., "The fucking place should be wiped off the face of the earth".
Amazing how he recorded such a genius album in that state. -

EDIT: I shouldn't comment at quarter to three in the morning.

Earthling is surprisingly good. It sounds very 90's and the story of drum and bass influence can put people off, but the songs are ace.

I rate Heathen too, and The Next Day, his penultimate record, revitalised my interest in Bowie when it came it. Really good rock album. -

Stick with Heroes is not as accessible as some of his other stuff but well worth it - Sons of the Silent Age is a great track.

Aladdin Sane is essential listening, (actually my favourite Bowie album). Diamond Dogs ain't far behind it either. -

Registered 18 years agoI concur, both excellent. Although hard to see past Hunky Dory and Ziggy for my favourites. -
Oh, and Young Americans is great too. -
/quiet voice
I actually really like Tin Machine -
That's the beauty of Bowie, he has so many stone cold classics that it's impossible to disagree with most people's picks (my personal three would be Aladdin Sane, Hunky Dory and Low, realistically though, Ziggy, Station to Station, Man Who Sold the World, Diamond Dogs and Let's Dance are all there too).
Edit - everything he did from The Man Who Sold the World to Let's Dance (with the exception of Pinups and maybe Lodger) is downright essential. If you have functioning ears you need to own that block of albums.

Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) too

Lodgers OK if pretty wierd, I'd also add the first two Iggy Pop albums ('Lust For Life' and 'The Idiot') to that list. As Bowie had a big hand in both of them.

As do I (apart from black and death metal) but I quite enjoy a few of the Foo's more recent albums. Don't see what's wrong with them myself.

Check my posting history Hairy, I listen to everything from disco, jazz, Mowtown to 60s, 70s, 80s 90s, pop, electronic techno, rave, glitch to all sorts of black and death metal.
What's wrong with the Foo Fighters? They're nowhere near as offensive as Nickelback.
Are they just not quite hard enough for all you long-haired, bearded, angry headbangers?
What's wrong with the Foo Fighters? Their music is incredibly bland and inoffensive, especially when you dig through the whole history of recorded music.
Maybe it's just not cool to like them.
I dig Scream, I love Nirvana (fuck, In Utero was the second album I ever bought and I still listen to it) I thought Probot was great too, his drumming didn't really add much to the established bands he sat in with (Queens of the Stoneage, Killing Joke). The Foos are just "meh".
Have we mentioned how amazing Bowie's work with Iggy Pop was?
The Idiot and Lust for Life are absolutely amazing albums, Iggy has got nowhere near their level of quality since. -
One year on, still ;_;
RIP TWD

Ah, okay. I thought I'd seen you around recently!
I heard it once on the radio, but I can never judge these things on the first listen, so I don't really know. Certainly didn't grab me though.
