Station To Station

The introduction to the Thin White Duke. Bowie was such a singular songwriter—such a distinctive voice (as a writer, though as a singer too). I've been listening to Pulp's This Is Hardcore a lot lately, and it's clear that Jarvis Cocker was inspired by this era of Bowie on that record. I only knew "Golden Years," which is a great track, but also so different from the tone of the rest of the album. It wasn't as immediate for me as some Bowie is, but I'll definitely be listening to this some more.

This was pretty good and not what I expected.

I’ve met like 8 girls with the same diet

hmmm zdecydowanie jednak nie moje klimaty, ale totalnie potrafię docenić jakość tego albumu, tyle się dzieje ciekawych rzeczy, no i niesamowity 70s klimat

Another excellent record from Bowie, although I didn't find this as great as a couple of the others. At only 6 songs, everything needs to be a banger to be truly amazing and that's just not the case here. TVC15 was a miss for me. Golden Years is a good song, but not a great one for me, as it is a bit to repetitive. The rest of this record is very good to great, however. Stay and Wild Is The Wind were both tremendous, they were my two favorite tracks on this record. I loved the guitar work throughout the former. Meanwhile, Word on a Wing and Station to Station were good as well, the latter of which sounded a bit like a later Beatles song. An excellent effort, just not a complete album. 4 stars

Another great Bowie album

Hard not to like an album with a banging 10 minute song in it. That being said the ending track was an actual letdown for such a solid half an hour of music.

Listened to this album authentically i.e. from station to station (Town Hall to Burwood)

Not my favourite Bowie, but it's pretty damn good. Closer to a 5 than a 3.

Probably not one of Bowie's best albums, but that doesn't mean much because Bowie has released a tonne of incredible music. This is more of a transitional album where Bowie is begining to play around with a more artsy and experimental sound while still having some of the glam of his earlier work. While the end result doesn't quite reach the heights of the best of his glam work such as Ziggy Stardust or the proto post-rock excellence of his next album, this is still a great album. I especially like the title track

I think this was the first of the Bowie/Brian Eno trilogy. I really love this Bowie period and its a bit of a farewell to the Ziggy Stardust/Aladdine Sane time.

Knowing he was out of his mind on coke the whole time makes this even better. Amazing vocals, catchy songs and a short run time.

Station to Station is David Bowie's tenth studio album. The album was closely associated with the "Thin White Duke," one of the personas that Bowie adopted for performances. Bowie performed as the Duke for about a year before, and then for the tour supporting the album. During the tour, Bowie made a few controversial, seemingly pro-fascist statements - which he later disavowed as part of the act - leading Bowie to retire the Duke character. The album was well received - critically and commercially - but was not celebrated. Subsequent assessments have improved; some now regard the album as among Bowie's best. The album's success was boosted by the single "Golden Years," which showcases the funk and R&B influences that Bowie had incorporated into his sound. These songs also include extensive synthesizer use, showing Bowie's growing fascination with electronic music in the 70s.

Not my favorite Bowie, but I really do like this LP/EP?

Third Bowie’s a charm

I might be biased, because I really enjoy rock music, but it's an incredible type of rock that brings me nostalgia. David Bowie is truly a big name of the rock. Station To Station starts with an intro of 10 minutes, completely, amazing, the instrumental is the main theme of the whole album, a perfect intro for a perfect album. Then, Golden Years approach with melody richness and lyrics that complements the instrumental. Even If Golden Years is the most listened song of the album, for me, Stay is my sweetheart, this last one has a perfect solo intro and I'm a sucker for long intros and solos. Word on a Wing is also good, but I had to listen twice to enjoy it, the lyrics though... amazing. TVC15 same as WOAW. Wild is the Wind... let me get my tissues.

I would write a review, but you don't need it, this is David Bowie baby!

Always good stuff

I have not heard this album before, and wasn’t overwhelmed with the opening track. Things got better with Golden Years which is an absolute classic and then continued with some nice songs, particularly Word on a Wing. I heard a fair bit of funk and soul here. Wouldn’t say it bowled me over so four stars.

1001 Albums Generator 286 (5/7/2026) Very much a transitional album for Bowie, existing somewhere between the glam and funk rock that he had done on his last few albums and the experimental, electronic-influenced music that he would explore on Low and Heroes. This one has never stuck with me really, but I do really enjoy listening to it. The opening track is basically a prog rock epic with that undeniable Bowie flare over the whole thing. Station to Station also weirdly soulful at times, which can be hit (Wild is the Wind) or miss (Golden Years). Overall, it's a good album, but not my favorite by the Thin White Duke. 4/5. Favs: Station To Station TVC15 Wild is the Wind Least Fav: Golden Years

Icon, Unrivaled benchmark and model

Have heard of David Bowie Had not listened to Station to Station in Full Had heard singles (golden years). It's a solid album. I personally think ZSATSFM was better. Just didn't quite hit the mark as a standout album for me.

So fascinating that this was influenced by Neu! and other Krautrock bands. Also insane that Bowie was taking so much coke while recording this in LA, working for days at a time, that he couldn't really remember recording it at all. Cover of Wild is the WInd is great. Looking forward to getting deeper into his discography in this challenge.

I’ve been doing a rundown of Bowie’s discography over the past month or so, so I listened to this album for the first time a few weeks ago. If I had to rate it, I probably would’ve given it a 3 at the time, but I liked it better this time around, especially Golden Years and Word on a Wing. I find a lot of Bowie albums to get into upon first listen, but as I ease into it, it’s less of a jump and more of a slow burn.

Cool album, short and sweet and Bowie

This is really enjoyable, but man it's not hard to tell that Bowie was doing a lot of cocaine at the time. Clearly a transitional record, but still a lot of fun.

Da riascoltare in un momento di relax senza fare altro

I would write a review, but you don't need it, this is David Bowie baby!

Not my favorite Bowie album, but there's great stuff here. TVC15 is a jam, and Golden Years is phenomenal.

Incredible and deep, experimental in the best way possible.

Another one of those that I might have to sit with, but the initial impression was quite positive.

Day 256 Not Bowies strongest imo but still very good. Highlights Station to Station Golden Years

great record, really enjoyed it.

Not my favorite Bowie album, but I’m still psyched it’s what I got today.

Love u Bowie

Not my fav Bowie album but still great. Golden Years is forever in my rotation

lo reescuche y m gusto mas

not my usual taste in music, but I like it! its very short and I will probably listen to it regularly, would recommend to give it a listen

Oh Bowie. Required listening. He really is amazing, but in real life I skip him. Yeah. As I expected. I’m always torn when I listen to this period of Bowie. It’s a lot like Bob Dylan. Yeah, admittedly an important album. Yeah, it’s good, I get it. Do I want to listen to it? No. But I will give it 4 stars, because it deserves it, damn it. Even if Bowie was coked out of his mind and has no memory of anything he did. And the Boolean rating? Could I have died without hearing this album? No, no I guess not. I’m glad I heard it. Again. Even though it felt like work. Its influence is undeniable and it actually grooves and has wonderful instrumentation. In fact, if Bowie could have just not been a part of it, that would have been best, I think…

Excellent album from 70s Bowie.

First time listening to this particular Bowie album. Dude knows how to make music.

8/10 David Bowie has such a high bar that it can be easy to dismiss some of his really good work because it doesn't quite match up to his most genius moments, but the development of the soulful work from Young Americans into this more alien sound is really captivating. Yes, it doesn't fully reach the heights that Bowie proved himself capable of, but this feels a far more "Bowie" album than it's predecessor. It successfully piles together his influences into a melting pot and dusts them with slightly experimental and avant garde presentation to give the record an otherworldly and unique flavour. There's plenty of balanced and compelling grooves present here, with some really excellent instrumental performances across the board that are tight and funky with just the right amount of freedom to the playing to imbue them with soul. As an album it's also got a very coherent tone, flowing beautifully from track to track, despite touching on different areas of focus on different tracks, from funky to poppy and even finding time to throw back to the more glam sound of his earlier work. But as with any Bowie album, it lives and dies on the unique talents of the man himself. Good as many of these tracks are, the special sauce here is David Bowie's delivery. Now presenting himself as the Thin White Duke, Bowie's vocal work gives each song a slightly disconnected yet charismatic aura of eccentricity and control that is so terrificly charming, that little bit off the wall, and so distinctivly him that it's hard to deny. And the more you listen, the deeper he buries himself into your brain. Station To Station - Its a pretty slow start, but when it gets going there's a decent groove here. Unfortunately it then takes too long to develop into anything more. The soundscaping and ear candy is really good, but it's all dragged on too long. For me, there's just not enough development of the ideas here early doors, despite those core ideas being very good. It finally breaks into something new 5 minutes in and kicks up a notch. The second half of the track is really good. A proper mixed bag of a track. So much groove, swagger and attitude, and there's some great playing and a solid feel to the rhythm. I can't help but feel this would be a really excellent 6 minute song that's been dragged on for over 10 minutes. Golden Years - The interwoven grooves across the instrumentation here are excellent. Bowie's in typically charismatically aloof form. There are some really solid hooks and melodic moments, but it's all carried along brilliantly by that shuffling, shifting groove the moves so smoothly and organically between sections. It's got great soul to it too. Fantastic track. Word On A Wing - This is more relaxed, but there's still some tasty blends of different lines across the different instruments. It's a decent track, but feels a tiny bit emotionally overwrought and melodramatic. Bowie can do that really well, but it doesn't completely connect here. It's still pretty good though, and again, the playing and production are great. TVC 15 - Now we get a great blend of Bowie styles, it's got a funky groove, some more rhythm and blues elements and a bit of a glam twist to it too. The chorus hook is great, blending a pop music sensibility with a darker atmospheric sound and it's got a twist of weirdness to it that gives it a slightly alien edge. An excellent slice of poppy, funky Bowie oddness. Stay - The intro to this is a great blend of groove and bite and there's an impressive feel to the rhythmic mix. Again, there's a poppy edge to the chorus, but it's spun into a web of overlapping styles and aloof, alien delivery that gives it a really unique and satisfying sound. The whole thing rolls, shifts and pulses with evolving grooves and excellent but not overstated instrumental performances. More great stuff. Wild Is The Wind - We close with a cover, but it's well put together and delivered, with Bowie embodying the slightly disconnected longing of the Thin White Duke. It's more sparse and restrained than the strongest tracks on the album, but the vibe is still fantastic. The bass work here is a particular highlight, but there's some great drumming too and the closeness of the grooves are compelling. Bowie's vocal drifting around the more centred melodic work from the guitar is also really nice. A pretty cool way to end the record.

Not my favourite but it is Bowie.

Not as good as some Bowie fan say it is imo but its really fun. "TVC-15" is the only bad song here. "Wild is the wind" was my favorite. 👍/5

I'll admit I'm a Bowie bro. I go into each expecting at least 4*. This isn't my favorite and prob deserves a lower rating. That said, the fact that the dude was living on a diet of cocaine, peppers, and milk and has no recollection of recording the album is top notch shit. 3.5/5

El David

Me gustó bastante porque, aunque es un álbum tranquilo, tiene un toque más rock que lo hace súper disfrutable. Fue el primero que escuché de David Bowie y la verdad me dejó una re buena impresión. Tiene una vibra elegante y diferente que atrapa sin esfuerzo, así que seguro lo volvería a escuchar.

It is consistently great. Not enough of the songs stick enough for me to give lasting impact.

Good ass album

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ The drugs do work kids. Let the Thin White Duke show you how.

The return of the Thin White Duke! To recap my Bowie notes from the Ziggy Stardust review last year: "My Bowie experience has been pretty strange but probably not all that uncommon for someone my age. For the first 30-ish years of my life I basically knew no Bowie that wasn't on MTV in my childhood and my impression of him was some combination of the "China Girl" video and the ludicrous "Dancin' in the Street" video with Mick Jagger. When I started reading more about rock history and the influences on artists I loved, Bowie always came up and I didn't really get it. Fast-forward to the last ten years or so and I read a biography of him that made me want to explore the music more and I've been blown away. (I am sure this was at least in part encouraged by the public Bowie renaissance sparked by his death and brilliant final album.)" In my latter-day explorations of Bowie's catalog, the opening track on this album is my favorite piece of music Bowie has ever done, and I listen to it often. I chuckled at the first sentence of the "Background" section on Wikipedia: "David Bowie developed a cocaine addiction in the summer of 1974, following the release of the album Diamond Dogs." Yep, that tracks. Really liked the guitars on this album. "Station to Station" gets 5 stars from me, the rest of this about a 3. So I will compromise and give this a 4.

Yep, krautrock Bowie is my Bowie.

Sobre el Delgado Duque Blanco pesa la acusación de farlopero y filofascista. Sobre mi, la de sordo.

One I might actually come back to!

Considering the length of each track I'm surprised that this didn't drag. Each track offers up some variety, with a through line of both hope and melancholy. Golden Years TVC15

Not my favorite Bowie, but I do love him.

First song is wacky and weird, following is cool and upbeat

It's weird and I like it

Drug addled and paranoid, and obsessed with evil people, Bowie's Station to Station is a messy and erratic piece of art that spans Soul, Funk and Art Rock in a way that would make any other artist fail immediately. To Bowie though? There was no way this album would kill him or his career. The songs often lack hooks, the instruments all fight for front row seating, but the glue holding this ship together is David's painful croons and desperate ambition. "Stay" and "Wild is the Wind" are the two final tracks that sit on opposite sides of the same coin, one's a powerful funk rock power jam and the other is some of Bowie's most expressive and pained vocal deliver of all time set to a spacey and forlorn instrumental. Those two tracks sum up this whole album experience perfectly for me. To then go from this to her Berlin Trilogy is just nothing short of miraculous. The only reason I don't rate it higher is because for me: the middle portion of the album is not as powerful as the standard set with the first song. That's all! Definitely a fantastic record.

This was the first Bowie album that resonated with me. I really enjoyed this one.

B+

Best Bowie to date...

bowi again

Alright I love Bowie but in one year doing this list I've now had 7 of his albums. Even as a Bowie fan this is far too much. I can only assume all of his albums are on this and I will be getting the Labyrinth soundtrack in a month. Bitching about the list aside this is a good album. The first two tracks are awesome. It's Bowie the dude puts together good music. This album is pretty straightforward as far as he goes. It's not a weird experiment just a rock album. Good stuff.

Good

I suspect there will be other David Bowie albums and that I will like them more, but the thing about that is, liking the others more doesn't make this not a great album. Just not quite a 5.

My favorite part about this was the parts that felt like a jam session. Cool record, Bowie ruled.

Bowie, or is it Bowie? No, it’s definitely Bowie.

incredible, every song highlights bowie at his best and why hes so incredible. idk how id never heard it before. best song - wild is the wind

Serves as an precursor to Bowie's Berlin, getting towards Peak Bowie.

Happy I heard this! Thanks to this 1001 exercise I've come to a greater appreciation for David Bowie. I saw him once live, though. It was great! I'd tried a couple of times previously to listen to some of the earlier Bowie works and was left with the feeling that, like the Rolling Stones, he'd put two good-to-great songs on an album and the rest were there just to fill the space. But I pretty much like all of this. I do wish the title track was split into 2 sections. The first half is cool and moody while the second half is just ok to my ear. "Golden Years' Is fantastic. I actually did know "TVC15" but not by the name. Cool, catchy. Musically, this is a strong effort, but it's muddied down a bit by the production. It sounds very 70's. I want to give it 3.5, but will give this storied genre-bender the 4 today.

I feel like every review I do if every Bowie album will be the same - the hits are great, the rest is fine

Title track is one of Bowie's best songs - I remember hearing the Sacred Silversexuals (amazing SF Bowie cover band that performed with glammy drag queens) play it back in 2012 and it was my introduction to the song in full. The rest of the album has some high points, Golden Years, Stay, TVC15, but none of these hit the heights of the title track or of many other of Bowie's albums in terms of consistency. Still, great record, great production and sound. My favorite fun fact about this album is apparently Bowie was so coked out while recording it, he has no memory of doing so. Wild.

The return of the thin white review man

Great album. Perfect intro. Golden Years is a classic.

hey this guy’s pretty good… I really enjoyed the combination of rock, maybe some early disco, and experimental influences on here. Fav tracks: Golden Years; Wild Is the Wind

Solid album. Solid songs. Nice length. Not sure why I can’t give it a 5. Forever comparing to Ziggy Stardust which I shouldn’t do but hey ho.

Good for the Thin White Duke era. TVC15 and Stay are cracking. Bit busy or yopey in other moments. Always hated Wild Is The Wind. So Cant give Our Dave 5 for this unfortunately. 4.5

Golden years is a great Bowie song Think I preferred this to Aladdin sane

Probably not top 5 Bowie for me, but still damn good.

Love David Bowie, and this project is really letting me dig in on his discography. Station To Station is such a solid album, even though Bowie apparently remembered nothing from recording it. Golden Years is one of my favorite Bowie songs. The later songs on the albums are a bit weak, but Station To Station and Gold Years make up the difference.

Great album

7/10. Fav Tracks - Golden Years, Wild is the Wind The first of what I can only assume with be multiple Bowie albums. I was not disappointed.

Great

I adore 70s Bowie, so it may be sacrilegious to say this is not my favorite of his from this era. It's an interesting transitional record, and he's arrived at a great sound, but the songwriting (especially on Side A) can be a bit unfocused. Still, Bowie on a bad day is unbelievably excellent.

Nice funky album.

great

great album, a bit odd but still really enjoyed it

The return of the Thin White Duke. Always ahead of his time. This album is too short.

Even though there are some very good songs on here, is this album just as essential as all the other Bowie albums on here? Is it a good album? Is it an enjoyable album? Absolutely. Is it something you need to listen to before you die? No. There are too many great albums not on this list that can replace this one.

Tää oli ihana! Ei tuu tarpeeks kuunneltuu Bowieta, tä ainakin ehdottomasti kuunteluun!

A stunning change of direction for the ever changing man. A magnificent album

Cobain can hear the Spheres sing songs off Station to Station

Funky - If David Bowie wrote the soundtrack for Jesus Christ Superstar this would be the result.

I have to say I never liked this album much as an album. It always leaves me feeling that it lacks something (which I’m not quite sure how to describe), or that if something had been done just tad differently it would have been a truly masterpiece. Station to Station (track) is superb, a marvellous work. It’s way above other tracks on this album, and that’s the problem - an album can’t be really great if there’s one track that much superior to others, can it? Word on a Wing and Stay are just good (former is a bit more, latter is a bit less) Golden Years..I seriously don’t understand why there’s (seemingly) so many people who like this song. I mean..it’s dull? Nothing really to write home about? And it’s a bit more repetitive than it should have been, but it’s not the worst offender in that regard. TVC 15 - now that’s something that kills me with its repetitiveness. I get really tired somewhere in the middle of those “oh my tvc one five, oh oh”. There is such thing as “too much”, you know. And now Wild is the Wind..It’s good as closing track, and it’s atmospheric, but at the same time it’s the one that I feel missed the most, I mean the potential to be a masterpiece.

Strong Bowie album! Short and sweet, but packed with that unique Bowie charm.

Melodic and magical and full of soul and life and sadness and glee. This was a journey I really enjoyed taking.

David Bowie on David Bowie. Erittäin kovatasoista musiikkia

Never heard this Bowie album before, really really good

Really enjoyed it. Best Bowie I’ve had thus far. Definitely need to explore the 60s and 70s catalog.

Very solid album. Not my favourite Bowie, but good, dependable Bowie. Favourite track: Wild is the Wind

Way ahead of his time. Brilliant album.

I have already listened to this album MANY TIMES! it is one of my favourite bowie records, and it’s very timeless. it always finds me at a time of myself life when i feel that a crossroads is coming. big fan

Ok I know it’s occult or wtv but I happened to have listened to this a few days before and musically it’s super expansive and immersive while being still easily accessible and catchy. That being said I won’t be listening to this again 😭

Stay.

Four stars only because it's not one of my personal five star Bowie albums.

I've never listened to this but Golden years might be one of my favorite ever tracks. What can I say the rest is also great

I’m not sure we need eight Bowie albums on this list, but the man was so incredibly productive throughout the 70s that it might make sense. In any event, Station to Station is among Bowie’s best records, intertwining elements of R&B from his previous work with the experimental rock that would follow. These new experiments would ultimately prove highly influential on post-punk that followed. Despite, perhaps because of, the fact that the album was made during an infamous cocaine binge its varied songs come together into a cohesive record. While the songs explore different styles, most start slowly, building in energy before falling the listener back down again. Sort of like a cocaine trip. The opening title track, inspired by krautrock, is an incredible opus, my favorite on the record, followed by TVC15. The backing band is fantastic here and on many tunes that followed. This is worth pointing out, because it is sometimes easy for the underlying instrumental work to get lost behind Bowie’s crooning. Having two guitarists with very different styles doesn’t always work, but when it does, like this record, surprisingly interesting textures result. All of this is not to detract from Bowie’s singing. There is some great singing on this record, made somewhat more poignant by darker than usual subject matter. I very much enjoyed listening to this album again.

Station to Station is Bowie’s dark, brilliant bridge from soulful funk to Berlin-era experimentation. Just six tracks, but packed with gems like the epic title opener, groovy “Golden Years,” and paranoid “TVC 15.” It’s raw, immersive, and fueled by his Thin White Duke vibe—pure genius amid the chaos.

That's some good Bowie!

The guys a champ

Golden Years was very catchy!

Nice Album Had some great songs

Took a second listen and was worth the extra effort. Got better with more listens. I loved Stay!

Bowie has always been one of my favorites. That said - I'd never listened to this album before and only knew Golden Years off of it. It's definitely a different kind of album and it took me two listens but I ended up really loving it. Stay is the standout for me here.

Lowk can’t wait to listen to it tmr it seems fun…

- i don’t know Bowie well so this was a great intro - feels a little heavy handed for my taste, which is suprising b/c generally I enjoy art-pop & this is obvi foundational to the genre - feels overdone, but its literally the prototype - some corny, but some GREAT lyrics - “does my prayer fit in with your scheme of things” - more melodically complicated than i'm generally drawn to for passive listening - Favorite Song: Station to Station

Some solid classics from David here but it doesn’t have a 5 star feel to me.

Норм, но не супер зашло.

Продолжаю познавать мир Боуи. Этот альбом отличается даже от прослушанного вчера и при этом записанного на следующий год. Пока что эта работа показалась самой слушабельной и дружелюбной к слушателю, очень движовые треки. Поняла, что музыку тех лет интересно слушать, читая при этом историю создания альбомов.

cocaine be damned my boy can funk it up

An impressive array of songs to say they are only 6 And it flowed nicely , I’ve never listened to a Bowie album fully so this was a new experience for me , the opener was atmospheric and when it kicks in with the bass , immediately draws you in to a hypnotic groove , Bowies voice is charismatic , dark , mysterious , melancholy has so many angles to it , and with the band that he has on this album which is a fine set of musicians , it works so many levels , I can’t put my finger on what it is but have to say bowie has a touch of genius that transcends because there’s not one song that sounds the same he’s always changing his style and personality Golden years is a pop classic I loved the groove on Stay , an exceptional rhythm section going off in that song , And a word on the wing quite poignant Id give it a 5 but I don’t think it was quite there for me probably 4.5

7/10…

Wild is the wind!

Is it my favorite from Bowie? Not quite. But it's hard to go wrong with any of Bowie's output.

Bowie innit, but i like this more than most of his stuff

A little too noodley/art house to get five points but still a great listen

One of Bowie's best albums. A piece that is dripping with atmosphere through all six tracks.

I never listened to Bowie before this project, and I now admire how this guy kept re-inventing himself between albums and always coming out with something new and fresh vs. prior work. Mad respect. Someday I'll go through his catalogue end to end. Highlights: golden years

Station to station as a track starts with a bit slow/noisy, but the second half absolutely slaps. I'd never heard anything from this album, but everything on it held a pretty high level. All in all i was impressed. 4/5

Wild is the Wind is so heartfelt and almost paranoid. Golden Years feels kind of jam-band-y? This is so different than his other stuff. I really liked the variety even within this small, 6-song release.

I really like this album, and I’ll call this is a 4.5. Some it sounds a bit too typically Bowie/of its time to be a 5 for me, and some of it is transcendentally beautiful and timeless, like Wild is the Wind. The lyrical content, particularly in that song, is also amazing.

Bowie is an alien god. But he's not an infallible alien god because Golden Years is his worst radio hit. It's the only blemish on an otherwise perfect album.

I really liked this, but I didn't find it as completely groundbreaking as some other Bowie. I would recommend it to a friend

Typically Bowie albums just don't mesh to me despite liking his singles (like Queen) but liked this one a smidge more than his others tbh. Definitely got stronger as it went on as well. You can't say that he doesn't change his sound on every album. 7/10

Favourite Songs: TVC15 Stay Wild Is The Wind

I'm not sure what melodica and banjo have to do with trains, but I'm here for it. Sometimes this list just feels like a psyop to get more people to appreciate the music of David Bowie. Like, this was really good, so much better than other stuff I've listened to. The only songs I didn't immediately vibe with were Word on a Wing and TVC15, but they're still growing on me. I can't wait to listen to this again. I don't think its perfect, but I can see why its so popular, despite only having like one single.

This album really shows David Bowie's artistic versatility - the sound is absolutely different and darker compared to Ziggy Stardust or Aladdin Sane. I just wish some of the middle tracks had the same vibe as Station to Station. For instance, "Stay" is kind of a departure from the rest of the album stylistically speaking.

Wild is the wind was a highlight for me.

Weird Bowie is the Best Bowie

Good Bowie, not sure what a TVC15 is but I fuckin want one right now

9/10 - fantastic album. Not my favorite by Bowie but a strong album. Almost gave it a 5/5 but was afraid to give every Bowie on this list a perfect score. Love this one a lot but doesn’t make it in my S tier list for Bowie

Damn it. More Bowie. Damn it. Still great.

good, disco-y. really like closing track

I had almost forgotten Station to Station. But that was exactly what I listened to alongside Heroes in my early youth by David Bowie. Who still remembers "Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo" (We Children from Bahnhof Zoo)? Still a great album that I will listen to again and again, but not that often. 4/5

Stay and the title track are awesome and worth the price of admission. 4 stars. I wish Bowie had stayed in this era a little longer.

Ranks relatively low among my Bowie favorites, but this is still a very good album from his peak period.

Very solid album.

I love Bowie and this is one of his best albums.

Muito bom, foge do óbvio

super inconsistent in a way that made me extremely unsurprised to learn this was made in a cocaine fugue state, but i actually kinda like it. most of this bounces between Kinda Nice and Existing, though on a second list it grew on me a lot. the title track is unquestionably the standout, but i like "word on a wing" and "wild is the wind" a lot too. i don't know if i'd ever seek out putting this record on, but i enjoyed listening to it. the note that i've been given about bowie is that even if you hate one era you might like another because he's all over the place so i can see glimpses of that here. musically, this is a wild mess of influences, and that's something i appreciate.

This is an uneven Bowie album in a way, mostly because it starts with my tied-favorite Bowie song (the other being Rock and Roll Suicide) but then doesn't QUITE keep up the pace. But first lets talk about that titular song because wow. I love the way the intro builds so much, I mean, I love everything about the song. The train sound into the, for lack of a better term, chorus and the musical change up afterwards. Its like listening to someone spiral out in real time. This album is probably the most uncomparable David Bowie has ever sounded, usually you can point to some kind of grounding in influence but this really is all over the place for better and worse. It's Funk and Krautrock and art rock with a bit of soul. Does it come together as a whole though? Perhaps not as much as other David Bowie. I still love it.

I think the Thin White Duke persona is the coolest looking one but acknowledge it was probably one of the most dangerously unhealthy ones. The titular track is one of my favorite Bowie songs. Doing Wild is the Wind as also a good idea. The 'inside' middle of the album kind of just carries forward but it doesn't leave much of an impact on me. I wonder what this album would have sounded like with the piano just further down in the mix or not present at all.

With the exception of the oft discussed title track, Station To Station is an album that is generally more well known for what it represents in Bowie's career than for its music. Station To Station is Bowie's only album released in his Thin White Duke era. Which is to say that this was Bowie's controversial "mountains of cocaine, and fascism" period. At this time, he was so far gone it feels kind of amazing that Bowie managed to release an album as great as Station To Station. A real, distinct mania runs through Station To Station, which isn't all that surprising, when considering the circumstances. It's one of the things that separates this album from Bowie's discography at large, and it gives the album a real "dance until you collapse" kind of vibe. The album is just 6 songs, 3 are essential Bowie and the other 3 are between good and very good. The title track is a microcosm of what's going on here. We see Bowie extending his sound closer to where The Berlin trilogy would pick up over the course of 10 minutes. The construction is pretty immaculate for just how fevered he sounds: this is probably the best song on the album. Word On A Wing is similarly fevered and worth reading about a little. It works great on its own, but Bowie's motivation for writing this song puts into perspective just how bad things were. And while I don't want to romanticize this sort of behavior, I do think knowing what was going on with Bowie at this time is kind of essential to getting to the bottom of this album. The last essential here is his cover of Wild Is The Wind, recorded as a tribute to Nina Simone. And it is one of the purest moments of beauty on Station To Station. And it keeps the album from ending on an entirely dour note. As far as the other three songs go, I still really like Stay, and enjoy Golden Years. But I am a little bit more ambivalent towards TVC15. That being said, my complaints with this album are mostly within the context of Bowie's broader discography. This is a remarkable, slightly harrowing whole. And it is, as a whole, essential to understanding the arc of Bowie's life on some level.

Intriguing intro Intense instrumentals

That's good Bowie. Will listen again.

- david bowie harvemmin pettää - eka biisi ihan quotsan esi isä - tämäkii bowie aivan hieno levy

David Bowie quoi

Funny I can see a progression in the 4 albums I've listen so far from David Bowie: Hunky Dory: 2 -- awful Low: 3 -- ok-ish, maybe I should even re-listen, I might have been biased by Hunky Dory Ziggy Stardust: 4! -- I was asking myself if I was starting to like it. Station To Station: now I get it! I do like it :) I can finally admit David Bowie grew on me. This is for sure going into the replay list :)

Hij heeft zeker betere albums dan deze maar enjoyed it nonetheless

Dancey!!

I always love to hear a DB album. This one had really easy listening to it - everything fell easy to the ears. I wouldn't say that there was anything in particular that stood out, however. I would personally give this a 4.5, but I feel like 5 is too high.

I was dreading the amount of David Bowie on this list. This is really enjoyed however! Still not a fan of Bowies signing voice, and groaned out loud when the first track was 10 minutes long. But it was 10 minutes I got into because, you gotta have that funk.

Might be a new favorite damn

One of his best albums. The final song is also one of his best. I think TVC15 overstays its welcome a bit however.

This album was from the start of Bowie's Thin White Duke era, and by all accounts was fuelled as much by cocaine as anything else, and yet it's still a ton better than much that came before or after. Still carrying some of the glam rock elements he brought through from Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane, there's also elements of his growing interest in electro-pop to be found in the six tracks on this album, and while it's not one of my personal favourites, it definitely ranks high enough to get a decent four and half stars out of me.

I thought it was pretty good

First song is super long but I’m a fan

Listened to this while baking in the kitchen. Was very dancing around to the first song, super fun

Short, but good listen

yaaass love David Bowie!!! Album cover is interesting idk if I like it or not. Apart from that, not a long album... 10 minute song is always crazy, but if u slay, i will look the other way Guuyyyysss I love Golden Yearssss half of those streams on spotify are mine I cannot really describe it, but the album feels timeless, like it could have been made somewhere in the last 40-50 and I would have believed it. Great vibe, great sound. Love the Thin White Duke and also love the film the persona was based on :)

4/5

Every song on this album is brilliantly produced & written, with an incredible soul & eccentricity to them. What the album misses for me is 2-3 absolute stand-out hits. Whilst there are some killer tracks on it - “Stay” being my favourite - I think it lacks those standout tracks that will live long in the memory of Bowie’s absolute best. Despite this though this record is put together exceptionally well and it has a great coherence to it that makes it a great listen.

First time listening to an entire Bowie album, always felt like subhuman for not really knowing any of his music definitely liked it a lot. A bit distracted on first listen but will 100% be listening again to fully appreciate

Favourite : Station To Station Least Favourite : TVC15 Blend of funk elements mixes well with Bowie's anthemic art rock sound leading to an interesting soundscape throughout, without lacking any of Bowie's oddball, eccentric charisma throughout. Overall, great listen excited for the rest of David's catalogue.

Nemoze Bowie napravit los album, dobra glazba nema sta. 7/10 Najbolja pisma: Station to station

When I see rock as the genre this is what want!

PEAK

Shorter than I thought it would be but the length of the songs make up for it

I've gone back and forth between rating this 3 or 4. I liked the first half better. I already knew Golden Years - one of my favorites. Listening to this with a head cold only amplified the dreamlike quality of this album.

Really like the classic-disco-rock with the reliable Bowie spin

A good album, I liked Golden Year's the most.

Like

One of my favorite Bowie albums

I really liked this, first time ever purposefully listening to David Bowie and I will say it was a good experience.

Thin White Duke

Great album

David Bowie

3.5

É sempre maravilhoso ouvir o que Bowie fez para a música. GK Kunten.

au début je voulais mettre 5 mais vasy je sais pas c'est toujours pas vraiment mon style. on peut arreter les albums de david bowie d'ailleurs

An excellent album. Not as iconic as Hunky, Ziggy etc, but showcases David's adoption of soul and Krautrock themes.

Solid, if short, Bowie album.

RIP the one of the greatest. Can't believe it's been nearly 10 years since his passing. While I don't think this is Peak Bowie as a performer, he definitely surrounded himself with an absolutely amazing band. Station To Station is also my favorite song of his. Idk he's just an amazing chameleon who's music is lasting long after his death and hopefully that's the case forever.

David Bowie can do no wrong. Obviously knew most of the songs on this album but don’t think I’ve ever listened to it back to front and don’t think I’ve ever even heard Wild is the Wind before (which coincidentally was my least fav song on the album). Not getting 5 stars just because I don’t feel the drive to listen to it back to front again but I love the majority of the songs so let’s go with 4. TVC15 is probably in my top ten fav bowie songs. Did not realize station to station was an 11 min song (apparently Bowie’s longest ever)… the second half is more up my alley than the first but still a good track. i just looked up what the title track is about was about and its very very weird and apparently bowie barely remembered recording it bc he was on a lot of coke! The article also said “The title track to Bowie’s Station to Station album can be looked upon as the transition between the highly successful funk-infused Young Americans released the previous year and his more experimental Berlin trilogy begin with Low.” which i think is a good explanation about why its not my fav bowie bc i love his funky stuff. All that being said, it’s good nonetheless! Thanks David!

I have a soft spot for Bowie and don't mind at all that he appears several times on this list

Had to give this a second listen before I could get into it. I always thought I loved this album, but the first listen didn’t hook me and I started questioning my assumed love of all Bowie. Second time around worked a treat. A short but solid entry from Bowie’s Thin White Duke era 3.5/5

Classic, Bowie at his best

Songs 3.5/5 Vocals 4/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Grooves 100/5

Classic Bowie in all his strangeness. It helps thay the instruments and the tone of the recording are just so entrancing. And the cherry on top is Bowie's emphatic vocal quality. While this definitely isnt an everyday listen, I can definitely see myself just laying in my bed and sinking into the soundscape created by this record.

This album is just so cool. David Bowie is cool. I felt cool listening to it. And it’s just…cool. I would have never chosen this Bowie album but I’m glad I did. I always hesitate with “long” songs because I get distracted easily but these were bops and it made the time go so fast.

195/1001 :: David Bowie - Station to Station Heard before? ✅ Would I revisit? ✅ Rating: 8 Listen before you die: Yes I’ve listened to this before but today I really connected with this album. It’s not the style of Bowie that usually reach for so I think in the past I’ve maybe not appreciated its brilliance. This is a daring release, one that mixes styles. Glam, disco, rock and funk all fused together weaving in and out of each other. I also just discovered that he did this under a new persona; The White Duke. Which makes sense as he was growing tired of his rock n roll stardom at the time, had just moved to LA and was completely coked out. That’s some real rock star shit. RIP Bowie.

Bowie - The Thin White Duke emerges!

one of bowie’s greatest albums ever. Such phenomenal work by him. Station to station, golden years, and TVC15 are my favorites from the album

Very good.

really good i love david bowie. easily took the cake for best album so far on this website. it’s punky and funky and all the things david bowie did best. although not as good as some of his other works still top tier 8/10

fauvorite: wild is the one first time listenning to bowie

90/100

GOD HE’S GREAT

4!

Kind of lacking in cohesiveness but each song has its own feel and are actually pretty good, though not "catchy" at all. Actually-Listenable experimentation

4.5 stars

Is Bowie on here too much? Probably. Is this one of the better ones? Yes!! GOLDEN YEARS up there as one of my Bowie favs. Another strong, hip groove: TVC15 (just hooks you in, 'Transition, transmission...'

Bowie has been the main revelation of 1001 for me

the bowie persona and lore does nothing for me. However, I liked a lot of the song compositions, especially the more soul/funk ones. I imagine I might like Young Americans if that is on the list (since every bowie album is apparently on this list)

Very avant garde - i think this is the Bowie Album to “get” Bowie

love david bowie

My favorite two parts of this album are the shifting soundscape in the title track (it was an adventure!!), and the guitar solos in Stay. Honestly I’m bummed I lived 41 years without the guitar solos in Stay. They are funky and alive and crawling and I can’t get enough of it.

Ok, solid 7/10 but not the brilliance of his earlier stuff

First Bowie album I’m hearing here, tbh not my favorite out his whole discography, but David Bowie is one of my favorite artists. Wild is the wind is great!

I'm hovering between a four and a five here. I mean, it is really, really good and shows such a range of styles that Bowie was working with. The title track is absolutely great. This album doesn't quite settle into one of my favourites though, and it has some of Bowie's most theatrical vocals (which is a side of him I like less). So I'm going keep the five stars for a couple of his other albums and just give four to this one.

Pretty good, but from the same period, I preferred "Young Americans"

This album is special. I will return to it.

Awesome vocals, instrumentation piano big vibe, some melodica on there, bro is probably doing a bunch of Coke on this record

This is the Bowie i know and love. Great tunes where he really has found his feet. Everything works together really well, his voice, the playing and the production and the output contains the magic that makes it more than the sum of its parts.

A short album at under 40 minutes and only 6 songs long but a joy to listen to. Side 1 in particular with album title track and golden years is great. A taste of what was to come from the Duke with Low and his later albums. 4 out of 5

pretty good. dabey never disappoints. TVC15 was peak

7.5/10 Favorite Song: Station to Station Very great album structure and with only 6 songs it still felt like an adventure and was a great listen. Great premier and finisher.

sounds like david bowie

This is the second Bowie album I listened to. First was hunky Dory. This album was way better in my opinion, I like his vocals here betterm Even though I didn't like the first songs that much it kinda grew on me, and I really loved the last songs.

Good Bowie but the GREAT Bowie

Not one of my more listened to Bowie albums. But really great.

track 1: station to station - long intro, but i know i'll have to get used to it - cool beat change ^_^ - i really like long songs 6.8/10 track 2: golden years - gooooolden years 6.4/10 track 3: word on a wing - 1 min in, this could be my favourite song on the album - bbbbeaaautiful!!!!!! 8.5/10 track 4: TVC15 - didnt add it to my playlist - good song but i cant imagine myself listening to it on the regular - not the best but its not terrible 4.8/10 track 5: stay - the intro helps me believe that this'll be nice (34s in) - absolutely AWESOME - cool guitar riffs - would listen to this lots and lots - surpasses word on a wing by a few 8.8/10 track 6: wild is the wind - "with your kiss my life begins" wow - absolutely earthshattering - i really like the note arrangement - i lied this is my favourite song on the album 9/10 astronomically bodacious brah.. 7.5/10

i feel like i always forget that bowie was like actually a weirdo for being such a popular musician

Absolute legend , great early album with a favourite of my DB in golden years , wow what a voice this man has

Bowie. Reinvents. Again.

Good

jolly, umililo mi jazdę metrem ,przez chwilę doceniłam życie

I could listen to this again. Very nice to bop around the house to.

Another Bowie album, another great day. He’s just so cool isn’t he, shows the power of cocaine, when you pack so much into a tight 6 track album. Station To Station into Golden Years is an amazing 1-2, with Stay keeping the pace up later on in the album. 4.8/5.0 Best Song: Golden Years obviously

The cokiest Bowie album by far. First 3 tracks are just absolutely unreal, I feel the next 3 aren't amazing but, still work and are very atmospheric and mad for this album. Best Track: Golden Years

Incapable of writing bad music. Not as masterpiece worthy as the other two but this thing is phenomenal. He has such a talent for vocal arrangements. Not much to say as there’s no hits or anything that I think will make a playlist but everything on here is masterclass writing. Just didn’t hit that gold mine this time.

Crazy how this is better than so many artists' whole discography, yet it is far from Bowie's best.

4/5 for this one.

Æ vet ikke, æ likte det, men det satte tydeligvis absolutt ingen varige spor i hjernen min, så nu har æ glemt alt. Sistesporet va en fin versjon av en sang æ allerede like, da, det va en uventa bonus.

This was nice

After a brief dalliance with soul, Bowie continued his move away from glam rock by getting funky. I'm not sure if this is Bowie's weirdest album now, but it was at the time, with long songs mixing elements of funk with bouncing piano. This doesn't stand up to true funk rock in terms of funkiness, but there's an undeniable groove on most of these songs. The title track makes good use of its ten minutes, building from a tentative opening to a raging dance number highlighted by the piano. I do kind of wish more of these songs had the energy of the second half of that one, but there are enough layers and hooks to keep me satisfied throughout. It's also clear Bowie's interest in soul was still there, given the soaring vocals on many tracks and the great cover at the end. Definitely one of Bowie's best and most unique albums.

This may be my preferred Bowie era, a really tight 6 song album that hits its high with Golden Years and manages not to drop it through the rest of the tracks.

finally found a bowie album i enjoy

"TVC15", "Golden Years" and "Stay" are tops Bowie. I dug "Station to Station" quite a bit as well but not as much. "Wing" and "Wind" were just ok. (8.95) ★★★★

The title track is the highlight. I'm not that into Bowie, but this is one of the better Bowie albums I have heard. 4 stars

Not my favorite Bowie album, but it's excellent nontheless. It's an interesting album because it really acts as the perfect bridge between the soulfulness of *Young Americans* and the experimentalism of *Low*. Highlights for me are the epic title track, "Golden Years", and "Word on a Wing". The :Wild is the Wind" cover is also really nice. Doesn't quite get to 5, but a strong 4.5 stars.

4.5

Bowie’s transitional phases are always the most fascinating to me—those moments when he’s molting one persona while engineering the next. Station to Station is another such metamorphosis, into The Thin White Duke, which isn’t just a character he slipped into; he’s Bowie’s own chemical burnout made theatrical: elegant, skeletal, emotionally vacant. The record feels like someone singing about feelings from outside the glass—in full command of form, while personally falling apart. That tension is the engine of the album: cold, grand, and disturbingly beautiful. It’s Bowie weaponizing his turmoil into a sharp artistic pivot.

God I love this album. I didn’t even need to listen to it, but I still did of course. This is one of my favorite Bowie records of all time. I’ve always viewed Station To Station as the sounds of “persona Bowie” dying. There is a definite darkness to this record while still remaining a very catchy listen. Always a great album to experience.

This album was new to me other than Golden Years. Start to finish I enjoyed listening to it, it's nice hearing new to me Bowie music. Favorite tracks: Golden Years, Stay

I liked it, especially Golden Years. His vocals really shine and there's a nice funk touch.

It somehow pulls off an intersection of funk, prog, pop, and rock. An great record from front to back.

This era of Bowie is not my favourite. I’m more into Ziggy Stardust than the Thin White Duke, but I see why people dig this. +1 star for Golden Years, which is a really good track.

That was a great listen. Liked all the tracks and it was a powerful note ending with Wild Is the Wind

very solid bowie album!

Excellent. 4.5 stars

RIP Bowie, this one was short and to the point with a great sound.

The sound of all your great ideas, and all your goodwill, and all your fidgety energy, and all your certainty, and all your even better ideas, and all his ideas too, and all their ideas, and all, hold on quick skip to the loo, and yeah, all their ideas, and every best intention, new innovation, back to first principles – just let it fucking ride! – all of it, all of it and if it isn’t it then whatever we tried and that’s glorious coming together and, because you’re a genius, it working. This is Bowie sitting in the pocket of his talents with his talents sitting in his pocket (for ten minutes, at least). And as per usual, it’s an invitation addressed to all culture and sent from the very edge of what’s possible – luckily, and especially for fans of arty post punk, culture followed.

Man David Bowie really is the goat Fave track: Golden Years

True classic

It's Bowie. That's it, that's the review. It's good.

Pretty solid

Very nice Interesting

Fun groovy album. Each track takes you on a journey. I’m excited for more Bowie!! 77/100

I'm not a big Bowie head, so this should be interesting. The title track has a lot of unsettling background noise accompanying it, but I'm really loving how eerie the guitars sound alongside it. Bowie sounds like a ghost, fittingly. I really enjoyed this one all the way through, which is saying something for a 10 minute song. Golden Years is super funky, loving this one off the rip. Really nice groove to this song, even if it's a bit repetitive at times. Word on a Wing is beautiful, feels like he's singing fully from the soul on this one. Side note that Bowie claims he doesn't remember making this album. This was peak cocaine-addicted Bowie, I just can't imagine making music like this and having no recollection of it. Such an interesting human being. RIP. TCV15 feels a bit non-Bowie esc, it almost feels like country rock, I like it though. Must be the keys. Ok it's obviously not country rock but I hope you know what I mean. Anyway, I like this song. Stay rocks. The guitar is great throughout, then steals it on the solo. It's almost chilling how ghoulish Bowie has sounded at points throughout this album. I think he really excelled at layering sounds in a way that was really interesting and added to tracks rather than being distracting. Wild is the Wind is a beautiful ballad to close out the album. It's crazy how much longer songs used to be back in the day. 6 song 38 minute album would sound criminal in the modern music world but I really enjoyed this. This didn't have me absolutely grooving out of seat but I really enjoyed it. Was bopping multiple times. This is a very strong 4 for me, could easily see it being a 5. I apologize for not being more familiar with your game Mr. Bowie.

I have never heard most of these songs before. Word on a Wing is when Bowie is at his best. This is my favorite track. 4/5

3.8

Good Bowie, but not great Bowie.

Full to the brim with prime Bowie goodness. Wild Is The Wind was a showstopper. Made cooking gnocchi a very enriching experience.

It's always neat when the albums on the list are in dialog with one another. One of our group's earliest albums here was Nina Simone's Wild Is The Wind; more than 300 albums later, here we get Bowie offering a great take on that album's title track.

Fun

Tight, fast, enjoyable ride to the station

I enjoyed this one. Favorite Song: Stay

Good it was nice but not my style

HELL YEAH

I think this is song-wise, one of Bowie's best, but for me, I don't think it's his best sounding or most imaginative record.

work

If the stations in question are “Ziggy Stardust” and “Dark Star,” then this album does seem to lie perfectly in between.

Nothing unpleasant on this album, and I can see it being popular on that front, yet it still brings Bowie’s creative spirit as it bends towards several genres. 3.5

Good stuff! I'd only heard Golden Years prior.

A short and sweet Bowie album. Loved the second track. Good overall

Groovy and interesting bowie album

Solid album from Mr Bowie. Not sold on the first and last tracks though so only 4/5

I don’t really . . . relate to the lyrics, but that Bowie sound is pretty much all I need. I appreciate the experimentalism, and you can hear precursors of what was next in Bowie’s career

Nice to listen to, but without any great songs.

Great vocal performance! Dramatic, funny: you can notice a lot of his emotions also thanks to a mix of genres, like hard rock, funk, soul, blues

Bowie knows how to make music. This is just great!!

Started the week with Bowie and I’m ending the week with Bowie. This is album 5/9 from him, and by God I’m starting to run out of things to say about David Bowie. I’m already a slight bit over 150 albums into this challenge, and it’s front loading me with a metric ton of Bowie. They’ve all gotten a 3 star rating, I would say deservingly so. So, what makes this one different? I don’t know myself really. Vibes mostly. I just find this to be the most consistently good from top to bottom. Every single Bowie album has 1 notable song and then a ton of filler. This has a few notable songs, and it’s really short at just 38 minutes long, so the notable songs take up a good little chunk of the album. My favorites on this one are the title track, “Station to Station”, and my actual favorite song on the album, “Stay”. This album does a lot of experimenting. If this even makes sense, that feels like the theme of this album, and it works here. There’s a good blend of rockers and lighter songs, instrumentals and vocal tracks. It took 5 albums, but I may have finally found the best Bowie album. We’ll see what the next one has in store within the next couple of days if this keeps up, so until then!!

Album No. 0042 on my list. Finally, my first Bowie album on here (since he’s statistically most likely to occur). I like many of his more famous songs, but are not all too deep into his discography, so this was a fresh one for me. I found this to be an interesting listen. Not all songs were that memorable to me, but there were some cool songs on this (including “Golden Years” and “Word On A Wing”, my two favorites). I’m conflicted between 3 and 4 stars. But since the sound is nice, I like Bowie’s Thin White Duke personality and, to be honest, I think It’ll look nice on my highly rated albums list, I’ll rate it: 4/5 stars!

this is my first David Bowie album and he didn’t have me in the first two tracks but I saved 4 out of the 6 songs because TVC15 took me on a lil groove journey and once reading the lore of this being reference of Iggy Pop drug fueled dream of the tv eating his girlfriend I was sold! Word on a wing took me to reflection island on my desire of wanting a person to love and how my prayers were answered so I made French toast for late brunch

Golden years and station to station were the bigger hits from this album. Overall consistent good music. Not an album with Bowie's biggest hits, but good start to end.

Le highlight ici est l'instrumental, les percussions sont très hot et y'a des riffs de guitare extrêmement catchy. Le côté plus funky/bluesy est assez intéressant.

Great album. My third Bowie album in the list so far, all of which have been 4 star ratings. This is a 4 too. Creative, entertaining and solid.
