David Bowie

A year ago I was getting hyped for Blackstar. My only regret is that we will never know what else he had.

Shit, it's really been almost a year since he's been gone. Fuck.

I'm in the mood to do some album/song rankings. Gonna switch to laptop and post em.

One thing that Scaruffi definitely got right is that Bowie sucks.

I remember listening to the album non-stop on repeat for the whole weekend after release, and was listening when I heard the news. I'm glad it went that way, who else could have done it like that?

Here's a list I made ages ago that I can't be bothered updating

I've gotten a little more conservative with my ratings since but it's still by and large similar

>>69430224
God damn...Why is Tonight so low, my man?

I mean I understand people don't like it but sheesh, didn't think it was worse than NLMD.

>>69430151
>Loving the Alien

Not really a lesser-known, it was a big hit single and a standard on compilations. Still I agree that this song is amazing. Bowie talked shit about it and he seemed to prefer the acoustic style he did on the Reality tour, but I disagree with him the song was of it's time and it takes me back.

Lesser-knowns:

>god bless the girl
>red sails
>criminal world
>fascination

>>69430150
Oh don't worry.

I am. <3

>>69430291
that's a rating i'd like to change, i'd probably give both those albums a 3 now

>>69430313
I never personally understood the hate for 'Tonight', but to each his own. I know the glossy production was a factor but I thought it was pleasant.

>>69430151
Now this is some good taste

>>69430396
just wasnt my thing, but i get it, dont mind if anyone likes it

>>69430396

I liked it as a side-b on my Let's Dance c90. An album of its time. Also in hindsight it's pretty amusing that Bowie could take a junkie's lament about his dead OD girlfriend and turn it into a reggae-schmaltz duo with Tina Turner. And even title the album after it.

Bowie had a pretty sick sense of humour man. I wish I met him. ;w;

>>69430510
>reggae-schmaltz
That's most of the reason I liked the album desu, the reggae style was really interesting to me.

Every since getting into Bowie I've been getting further in to esotericism and occultism

Is it just a meme with Bowie?

Or should I seriously consider joining the Golden Dawn?

I want to be a good person.
I could never want to hurt someone who would never hurt me.

It brought me to a whole new world.
One where not only where the mainstream media maybe lying, but one where the forces that our ancestors so diligently devoted their entire lives to might actually be real.

>>69431392
I know Thelma was the creation of Crowley, but I don't know how true it may be.
I believe 'magick' is real. But how can I be good with 'magick'?

/x/ has never been any help
I'm hoping someone has been through the same arch as I, but can tell me what to so.

David studied the occult since the 60's

He wasn't actually a satanist or anything like that, but he opened his mind to the studies of many different religions, and I believe died a buddhist if I remember correctly

>>69430224
Very solid list. First-half of Young Americans is God-tier for me. Might require my family to play Diamond Dogs looped at my funeral.

3 disc version is great to get a "taste" of his discography, then you can decide on your favorites and listen to the albums they're from, then fill in the blanks after
