Alladin Sane is by far the worst of his 70s output. I never really saw the acclaim. If you like his glam rock just listen to Ziggy.
For 70s Bowie:
Station to Station = Ziggy = Low > Hunky Dory > Heroes > Diamond Dogs > Young Americans > Lodger > Man Who Sold the World > Alladin Sane

That's what most good Bowie albums are like.
Now imagine what the shit he released after the 70's sounds like... *shudders*
This applies to Station to Station too. Word on a Wing and Wild is the Wind are shit. Really, the only especially great song is the title track desu.
That's what most good Bowie albums are like.
Really? Yikes, no wonder he's known as a "Greatest Hits" artist. Though a lot of the songs on the greatest hits collection even sounded bad.
"Jean Genie" and "Panic In Detroit" are my least favorite songs off the album, why the fuck were they huge hits?

Word on a Wing is both stylistically interesting and lyrically one of the most desperate and uncomfortable things he's ever written.

I thought I was going insane. I searched around for opinions matching mine, but everyone I saw online kept praising the album.
You are genuinely fucking retarded and you type like chatGPT. I really view you as subhuman. In fact, you type just like this guy so you're probably just samefagging.
Which three songs?
Not samefagging, and not ChatGPT. Sorry that I type with too much punctuation..?
Cracked Actor
Let's spend the night together (Only because I love Between The Buttons)

Nice bait.
You seem to forget about pin ups which is worse than Aladdin Sane but otherwise you're not wrong. The two albums I mentioned just seem like a victory lap after Ziggy Stardust and Bowie basking in his newfound fame. Whenever that happened in his life he always made his worst music
The Amercanized glam rock just doesn't work as well as Ziggy or even Diamond Dogs and it's always lame when rock artists "go back to their roots" and make doo-wop/50s diner bullshit
I'm and I would choose:
Cracked Actor (possibly Bowie's best song)
Jean Genie
Panic in Detroit
Aladdin Sane
And that would probably be it.
To add insult to injury, I actually also think this is one of his better glam rock albums. I think it's far better than Hunky Dory or especially Diamond Dogs (that one is seriously garbage).
Wtf? Best tracks on Station are TVC15 and golden years. Universal agreement on that.
>Jean Genie
>Panic in Detroit
I'm actually jealous you like the songs I hate. I really wish I could see what everyone else sees in them. It just kind of gets repetitive for me, I might need to sit down and relisten to them with no distractions whatsoever.

I'm the opposite. One of the redeeming qualities of this album is that it all follows a very strict style of sound, it's on the cusp of a concept album because of how strict it follows the same type of guitars and layering.
The only issue with that though is that I hate the style it follows, so nearly every song except the three I mentioned don't work well with me.
Eh, those two are alright.
Ohhhh boy how can you say DD sucks when it contains some of Bowie’s best vocals
youtu.be
Vocal range at the start is so good people thought it was studio trickery
he made better stuff
Ohhhh boy how can you say DD sucks
The entire thing is a mess.
The title track is good.
Rebel Rebel is fine but too overplayed.
1984 is shit but it's at least amusing.
The others are terrible.
the rest is so fucking trash that it makes the experience unbearable.
Bowie was a playlist artist before playlist artists existed. so ahead of his time!!!
Hunky Dory = Low > Station to Station > Ziggy > Heroes > Diamond Dogs > Man Who Sold the World > Young Americans > Aladdin Sane > Lodger
Big Brother and the sweet thing trilogy is great
Low > Station to Station > Ziggy > Heroes > DD > Lodger > Hunky Dory >= Man Who Sold The World > Young Americans > Aladdin Sane >>> Pin Ups
Low = Low
So it's Low his best album then?
For me it is. It's a product of complete genius and a once in a lifetime production
Word on a Wing
That's by far my favourite from that album
I still prefer Hunky Dory, but Low is his second best. I will say that Low is a perfect album with no bad tracks whereas Hunky Dory has a couple of lesser ones 2 or 3 depends how you look at it

Great songs, many of them 10/10s
Quite a mixbag of an album, Low is far more consistent
>andy warhol
>song for bob dylan
>bewlay brothers
All excellent Bewlay Brothers being one of the best things he ever wrote imo
Low is a perfect album with no bad tracks
If you ignore the entire second half of the album that is.

Oh yeah what's Bewlay Brothers about?
There's only 3 good songs, but the rest is so fucking trash
this applies to every bowie album besides ziggy stardust and Scary mosnters
