Lust For Life = David Bowie's best album
 
!!!!
:eek:
:D
:p

batreleaser 03.14.2008 01:03 AM

produced? yes, but low is a thosand times better

Death & the Maiden 03.14.2008 01:17 AM

Lust For Life is my favourite Iggy Pop album.

✌➬ 03.14.2008 01:59 AM

This reminds me I need to get more Bowie albums. Any recomendations? I have earthling, and the man who sold the world.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 03.14.2008 02:36 AM

Low starts out really good but trails off.

Seriously though, David Bowie didn't just produce Lust For Life, he wrote a lot of the songs with Iggy as well.

I suggest you get Ziggy Stardust, Diamond Dogs, and Station to Station to start

fugazifan 03.14.2008 02:49 AM

i dont think one can go wrong with bowie in between 1970-1980

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 03.14.2008 02:52 AM

No you really can't.

Torn Curtain 03.14.2008 05:31 AM

I agree, Lust for Life is like a lite(poppier)-version of the Stooges, still great. But the idiot is so much better.

radarmaker 03.14.2008 07:21 AM

The Idiot >>> every other post-Stooges Iggy LP

Hunky Dory, Station to Station, Ziggy Stardust, Low, Heroes. In roughly that order.

demonrail666 03.14.2008 07:34 AM

Didn't he produce Transformer? I like that. A lot.

toxic johnny 03.14.2008 09:15 AM

I cut my teeth on Ziggy Stardust...

SuperCreep 03.14.2008 11:38 AM

I'm not sure if you're talking about the production itself (which is very good) or the album being the best album Bowie's been involved with. If it's the latter, I strongly disagree, solely because Turn Blue is one of the shittiest songs I've ever heard.

I love the song Turn Blue.

Jesus. . . this is Iggy

You left out his best one that Iggy isn't involved with.

Diamond fucking Dogs.

sarramkrop 03.14.2008 03:55 PM

Not all the albums that Cantanky listed have Iggy Pop on it. I assume yours was a joke, Julian.

sarramkrop 03.14.2008 03:56 PM

Actually, none of them have.

Low has some backingvocals by Iggy Pop (thought those were on the track Be My Wife)

batreleaser 03.14.2008 04:22 PM

the berlin trilogy, as cliched it is to say, is bowie's most creative stint of music.

sarramkrop 03.14.2008 04:24 PM

Backing vocals are hardly a major contribution to one's album unless you are Madonna.

Florya 03.14.2008 05:14 PM

The Idiot is a fucking great album.
'Dum Dum Boys' and 'Mass Production' have kept popping into my head at random times in the twenty-odd years that have passed since it was released.

"I was most impressed......No one else was impressed.....Not at all"

Classic!

I just said that so I wouldn't contradict my first statement that Iggy Pop- Lust For Life is his best album. So that is why I added the "iggy isn't involved with"

i did forget diamond dogs. whoops. certainly not bowie's best though i do like it.

get pin ups too!

Katy 03.14.2008 08:21 PM

I would have to say no.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 03.14.2008 08:57 PM

Diamond Dogs > Station to Station > Ziggy Stardust

Sweet Thing-Candidate-Reprise is the greatest medley ever and We Are the Dead is an awesome song

SuperCreep 03.15.2008 12:08 AM

I always fall asleep in the middle of Rebel Rebel whenever I listen to Diamond Dogs. It's really fucking odd. I think it's most definitely the weakest of his 70's material, but it still has a few worthwhile moments.

aladdin sane tops all those records

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 03.15.2008 12:32 AM

I find Alladin Sane pretty meh. Except Cracked Actor rules.

Cantankerous 03.15.2008 12:33 AM

cracked actor is my favourite song on the record
his version of lets spend the night together is awesome

Weak?

Yet now
We feel that we are paper, choking on you nightly
They tell me "Son, we want you, be elusive, but don't walk far"
Always breaking in the new boys, deceive your next of kin
For you're dancing where the dogs decay, defecating ecstasy
You're just an ally of the leecher
Locator for the virgin King, but I love you in your fuck-me pumps
And your nimble dress that trails
Oh, dress yourself, my urchin one, for I hear them on the rails
Because of all we've seen, because of all we've said
We are the dead



I'll make you a deal, like any other candidate
We'll pretend we're walking home 'cause your future's at stake
My set is amazing, it even smells like a street
There's a bar at the end where I can meet you and your
friend
Someone scrawled on the wall "I smell the blood of les tricoteuses"
Who wrote up scandals in other bars

I'm having so much fun with the poisonous people
Spreading rumours and lies and stories they made up
Some make you sing and some make you scream
One makes you wish that you'd never been seen
But there's a shop on the corner that's selling papier
mache
Making bullet-proof faces, Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing

So you scream out of line
"I want you! I need you! Anyone out there? Any time?"
Tres butch little number whines "Hey dirty, I want you
When it's good, it's really good, and when it's bad I go to pieces"
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing

Well, on the street where you live I could not hold up my head
For I put all I have in another bed
On another floor, in the back of a car
In the cellar like a church with the door ajar
Well, I guess we've must be looking for a different kind
But we can't stop trying 'till we break up our minds
'Til the sun drips blood on the seedy young knights
Who press you on the ground while shaking in fright
I guess we could cruise down one more time
With you by my side, it should be fine
We'll buy some drugs and watch a band
Then jump in the river holding hands

Cantankerous 03.15.2008 12:36 AM

crack baby crack
show me you're real
smack baby smack
is that all you feel?
suck baby suck
give me your head
before you start professing that you're knocking me dead

ohhhh the riff in this song is killing me

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 03.15.2008 12:38 AM

I do like that line. It turns me on.

Cantankerous 03.15.2008 12:45 AM

david bowie made some sexy music in his glam rock period
have you heard his cover of "i'm waiting for the man"? c. 1972
glam rock is sexy music in general. like bang a gong.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 03.15.2008 01:48 AM

Yeah, if I'm listening to Bowie, T. Rex, Iggy Pop, or VU and hanging out with a girl and we're not making out, there is something wrong.

Everyneurotic 03.15.2008 01:49 AM

alice cooper was better than iggy and bowie combined.

there, i said it.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 03.15.2008 01:50 AM

Him?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ta9KMLpiHM

Everyneurotic 03.15.2008 01:56 AM

hmmm...

should have said "alice cooper in the 70's", i thought it was implied.

killer, love it to death and billion dollar babies are three of the best records ever.
