[@andyandalex]

Back checking out some more from this record, what do you guys think, have we got to check out the full album sometime?! 🔥🙌🏻

[@peterquinones3522]

His best albums aren't really rock music - Young Americans and Station to Station.

[@peterquinones3522]

The words "legend" and "icon" are so overused they're basically meaningless now but they both apply to Bowie in a huge way. You should check out his performances in The Last Temptation of Christ and The Prestige.

[@bkshields76]

Too many other must hear albums you should get to 1st. IMO.

[@viclagina347]

Try the song Fame

[@viclagina347]

Three bangers in a row.... Hell of a week boys.... BOWIE is a deep rabbit hole with many corridors to explore..... Love Ziggy

[@bodhisattva3774]

His guitarist Mick Ronson was an integral part of Bowie's sound in this era. He was classically trained, a hell of an engineer and his guitar playing was innovative and his tone was HUGE. Great album.

[@gregsager2062]

Ronson's on the short list of rock's all-time greatest guitarists. Ronno was no shredder; he was simply tasteful and precise while at the same time being quite sonically adventurous. His tone, especially on his early work with Bowie and then with Ian Hunter, is a landmark in what great rock guitar sounds like. "Suffragette City" is as much a showcase for Ronno as it was for Bowie.

[@fords_nothere_100]

For sure. And its a great example of Bowie knowing exactly which hugely talented musicians/ppl to work with to get the sounds he wanted.

[@gregsager2062]

@@fords_nothere_100 Yep. Just in terms of guitarists he worked with the likes of Ronson, Carlos Alomar, Earl Slick, Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Reeves Gabrels. I don't think that you can identify any other artist who worked with so many great guitarists -- and with so many guitarists who had such vastly different styles from each other -- over the course of one career. Even Steely Dan, for all the great guitarists it employed, can't match the stylistic breadth and depth of Bowie's roster of guitarists.

[@ballyastrocade5672]

Keyboardist Rick Wakeman also brought his talents to Bowie's sound during this era, too. According to the story, their association started when Wakeman was asked to come up to the studio where Bowie was recording "Space Oddity", because Bowie wanted to use the Mellotron in the song and his recording engineer told Bowie that Wakeman was the only keyboardist he knew of who could actually make the cranky contraption work reliably. :-) (The trouble was that the motor mechanism really didn't have enough torque to pull more than one or two tape loops against the spring tension at a time; Wakeman had worked out a fingering technique of only "half-pressing" the keys so that the playback heads were only *just* making contact with the tape, enough to play back the sounds but not enough to drag down the motor, so he could get a full three- or four-note chord out of it.)

[@joeharley5868]

And he did the arrangements for the horns.

[@no2all]

Bowie was the master of re-inventing himself. He was an artist that transcended the mediums in which he dabbled. He even was the first celebrity to sell bonds against his royalties for recordings before 1990. The 10-year notes allowed him the cash to purchase the songs in his catalog which were owned by a previous manager. Unique and avant-garde...that is David Bowie.

[@raynavarro7997]

[@bradsmack1]

We should tell them that, how Bowie uses the word, it's "noun noun," not "verb verb." It affects the pronunciation, y'know!!!😁👍

[@Keepee66]

Yes, Mick Ronson has a most memorable riff. You guys will enjoy it.

[@bradsmack1]

@@Keepee66 Ronson......So underrated and misunderstood. Pretty, hunky, platinum-haired, and such a perfect "foil" for this "Bi" period of Bowie's oeuvre. Bowie would actually mimic fellatio on Ronson while he soloed. And, it helped that Mick was a nothing-short-of-a-bitchin' guitarist you could put up against Page, Beck, Clapton, Iommi, Blackmore, and the rest of 'em of the day!

[@tristramcoffin926]

It's a great riff but there are more Bowie songs they need to do.

[@adambnyc4875]

Do "Young Americans" or the song he wrote for Mott the Hoople, "All The Young Dudes."

[@stevejones18]

[@mrbill250]

Bowie tried to give Suffragette City to Mott the Hoople but they took All the Young Dudes instead. Good move!

[@cretins]

"Young Americans" is my favorite Bowie song!

[@tjtampa214]

Young Americans - great song. When Bowie is the subject, I always think of Drew Barrymore and the movie Wedding Singer.

David Bowie - Rebel Rebel - Modern Love

[@submandave1125]

"I don't know what that means" - Never has the generation gap been more pronounced. "Wham, bam, thank you ma'am," is an old rough dirty way of saying love 'em and leave 'em.

[@armadillotoe]

I think the modern terminology is hit it and quit it??

[@markharris1125]

Yes, that made me laugh.

[@lotr-nerd9732]

Ngl I only know it cuz my mom says it lol!

[@loyevangelists]

i believe that today you call that hooking up

[@knightyyz]

The famous "Wham Bam Thank-you Ma'am" lyric was the title of one of the tracks on Charles Mingus' 1961 Oh Yeah album (according to Mingus it was also a phrase that his drummer, Max Roach, used when he was "unable to express his inner feelings") and most likely one which Bowie was aware of, being a jazz lover himself, just as droogie don't crash here is a tribute to Stanley Kubrick's clockwork Orange.

[@brianmoon1058]

Mott the Hoople "All the Young Dudes" written by Bowie must be hit

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

The All The Young Dudes whole album is phenomenal, Mott The Hoople were phenomenal, criminally underrated

[@billmaxfield7831]

All the Way to Memphis and Once Bitten Twice Shy are great Mott songs!

Saw David Bowie perform this live as Ziggy Stardust in London, Aug/Sept 1972. Support act was Roxy Music. They had just released their debut single Virginia Plain.

[@jocelynhaeberle1401]

A big regret, not seeing him live! Not that he ever came anywhere near my home.😉

[@seanie002]

If memory serves me right, Starman would have been doing well in the charts then.

[@markgrant5305]

@@seanie002 yes, that’s correct. It was released in the UK at the end of April 1972 and was a big hit during the summer. It was groundbreaking. To see a man in make-up on tv (Bowie) with his arm round the shoulder of another (guitarist Mick Ronson) was considered risky and outrageous! I loved the song then and now. When I saw Bowie in concert (at The Rainbow, Finsbury Park, London), Roxy Music were the support act, having just released their debut single, “Virginia Plain.”

"is it a concept album?" If it's a Bowie album, them yes!

[@chrismeadows4216]

Not exactly. Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, and 1.Outside are the only albums that have concepts attached to them.

[@richardy5271]

@@chrismeadows4216 Station to Station isn't a concept album? I thought the lyrics "The return of the thin white duke" kind of suggested a concept. I think the album coincided with his movie "The Man Who Fell to Earth."

[@chrismeadows4216]

@@richardy5271 Station to Station is a song about The Thin White Duke, but the rest of the album is a loose collection of songs. The album cover is a picture of Thomas Jerome Newton in The Man Who Fell to Earth, so that can be a bit confusing, but TVC-15 is about a demonic television, Word on a Wing is about David looking to God for help with his cocaine addiction, Stay is a reworking of John, I'm Only Dancing (Again) from the Young Americans sessions, and Wild is the Wind is a cover. There aren't themes that connect anything. To make things even more complicated, David's music for The Man Who Fell to Earth was separate from Station to Station. Most of it was scrapped, aside from a few songs released on Low. It all fits into a period where he was The Thin White Duke live, but he didn't concentrate as much effort into making everything cohesive or conceptual as he did recording really great songs.

[@chrismeadows4216]

One thing people are usually confused by is what "The return of The Thin White Duke" means. It builds a curiosity for if David was The Thin White Duke on Young Americans when he didn't have eyebrows and his hair was longer (some people call that transition The Soul Man) or if it was just during public appearances like The Cher Show later on where he was The Thin White Duke. He made a huge stylistic change. The character wasn't mentioned anywhere before the song Station to Station. It seems like it came out of nowhere, and it was never brought up again on the album or anywhere else. David wasn't really in the right frame of mind to understand where he was going with that concept based on later interviews, so I think of it as just a story for one song.

[@johnrectangle6034]

Hey droogie, don't crash here! That line is great! By the way, Bowie, for his lyrics, is using the cut-up technique used by William S. Burroughs (best known book, the Naked Lunch). To do a cut-up, take a finished linear line, and cut it in pieces, randomly or not, and put some new words in between the pieces and then you rearrange the line(Best known line in Jean Genie, he loves chimney stacks). The Dadaists used this technique. It's inspired by psychoanalysis, where what you seems to do automatically is in fact a result of what you have in your inconscious mind. When Bowie found that guitarist, Mick Ronson, he said that he got a Jeff Beck kind of guitar player.Me,I'm a big fan of Ronson

One way to cover The Bow is to do a bunch of songs that are 5 years apart from each other and in that way cover 40-50 years of Bowie. Reason, so people can get a gist of the megatude of music that he covered. No other musical act comes close to having the portfolio of Bowie's music.

[@CorrineSunQueen]

Boys, love you but you really need to do full album - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars - To Be Played at Maximum Volume. EDIT: Bowie is a legend whose career spanned FIVE decades. Bowie continuously reinvented his various persona because for years, the person on-stage was Bowie and not David Jones. He was an artist and an actor who gave us Glam along with Bolan, and then remained at the forefront of every music genre until the time of his untimely death.

And here I thought the phrase Wham bam thank you mam would be generational.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I remember the first time ever heard this in high school on the record album, it started off, and I was like wait a minute is this David Bowie? Once you hear him singing those hilarious versus with his own particular style and it's just that banging piano which I can't believe you guys didn't mention, it had my full attention and buy about the time I heard that wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am and then it launches back in, I was done man everytime the song ended I would pick the needle up set it back down at the beginning of the song and I literally turn my stereo system up as loud as it would actually go and I could play the song easily like seven or eight times in a row and just totally rock out to it. It just felt like heaven to me.

“Home Sweet Home” - Mötley Crüe

[@bradsmack1]

Picture it: Houston, June 23, 1972: The summer between my junior and senior years in high school, I buy this album on sale for $2.99, down a buck from its non-sale $3.99 price on a $4.98 RCA list price. To watch A&A listen to "Suffragette City" for their first time makes me remember how incredible stuff like this was all over the place in the day....Alice Cooper, Sabbath, Zep, et al, and we just took it in! Only propelled decades into the future, and looking back do we realize THESE were the inspirations and influences of the more mundane music that followed (very generally speaking). As we listened to our classic icons were we, however unwittingly, in the presence of such creative brilliance and eclecticism that it took half a century to put it all into context! Well done, Andy & Alex for helping us to catalog and further appreciate our musical heritage!

[@MidwesternCornbilly]

This song has that great Mott The Hoople era feel to it. David Bowie and MTH were putting out some really great music during this time period, often times collaborating or (in the case of All The Young Dudes) written by Bowie. Another great English band from that era that gets almost universally overlooked is Be Bop Deluxe.

Love to hear “The Confessor” by Joe Walsh sometime soon!

[@tomaleshire4145]

I have begged them to do "The Confessor" 6 or 7 times over the last 3 years or so but no luck yet.😩 I know they will love it if they ever hear it!💯😁 My absolute favorite Joe Walsh song!🔥🤗❤️✌️

@Jeffrey Rigby I was part owner of a foosball hall in 1974-76 and we played that album (literally) all the time!

@Jeffrey Rigby I freakin' love every song on the Montrose album!🥰 Every song is a banger!🔥 Between Ronnie Montrose's screamin' guitar and Sammy Hagar's vocals, damn!😲🤤 As a matter of fact, I'm gonna go listen to "Bad Motor Scooter" and "Rock Candy" right now!😂🤣✌️❤️

Bowie is one thee best and most influential rockers of all time. Didn't think you guys would ever get to him. But now that you did, thanks.

[@johnwaga3702]

I grew up listening to Bowie! He is missed!

[@kennydickson6991]

Sure, play the whole album. Also the album Aladdin Sane. In particular Jean Jeanie, Cracked Actor, Watch that Man.

[@LenProbert]

Check out Mick Ronson, one of the great, under appreciated rock guitarists of the seventies. He also arranged a lot of Bowie's music in the early seventies.

[@stevegreen5552]

Agreed. I'm still affected by his loss. The stuff with Ian Hunter, Ellen Foley & his solo albums are gems in my collection. His solo on Genya Ravan's Junkman is great too. I was delighted to come across a track he did with Phil Rambow more recently. Ahh, what other great stuff could he have done...

[@gavinsmith9016]

"Ahhhhh Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am"... Perfect. 10/10 or what ever rating system you want. Seriously..... Listen to the whole album. The lyrics? I've never had the desire to interpret the lyrics. It's just great Rock n Roll.

Exactly! I never cared what the words were about it’s just such a jammin pounding song!

Great job boys! One of Bowie's best. First covered this hit with my band back at Michigan State University in 1974. "Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am"!
