The Mighty Lyng
Pinned
I am here to discuss music, literature, and condemn the appalling genocide in #Gaza. I have no interest in publicly engaging with people I cut off contact with years ago. In the words of Brian May: "In the quiet of the night
Let our candle always burn
Let us never lose
The lessons we have learned."

So there we have it.
An album that has certainly stood the test of time.
Definitely in my top 3 Bowie LPs.
Thanks to all who took part and we’ll do another one soon.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Wonderful to listen to this track with intelligent company.

When Bowie hit a song in his range, he really nailed it. Like Wild is the Wind.

Tremendous funk fills on Stay.

Sayanda Maitreya told me that Bowie was a true chameleon. He's right!

Terrific piano playing.

Bowie wasn't a McCartney fan, which is funny because TVC15 is very Ram like.

Bowie was wrong to play this one at Live Aid, but it's wonderful album filler.

Sounds like Richard Wright on organ.

It sounds like a cry for help. Cocaine is a killer.

His voice isn't up to the complex melody, but what a beautiful sentiment on Word on a Wing.

I like the whistling at the climax.

Golden Years - the acme of Bowie's plastic soul sound.

The bass playing is superb throughout the song.

I believe Bowie was a Peter Gabriel fan, and STS is the natural continuation of Supper's Ready.

Who needs Robert Powell and Zeffirelli when Bowie can recount the pain of the crucifix?

Bowie on melodica!

I'm guessing the album will open with a breezy thirty second pop song...

It's been the greatest honour of my life to have contributed to all three issues on solo Beatles.
You can never have too many magazines about...

Anyone claiming to hate The Beatles always turns out to be the worst kind of performative "look at me, look at me!" obtuse contrarian arsehole, and I've yet to see an exception.
