David Bowie: Low - Need I explain?
Nope. No explanation needed. But I might choose Iggy Pop's The Idiot or possibly Lust for Life intead, for smilar sonics but better songs.

You're to be banished to a desert island until.... Which ones do you pick?
I'm trying to make a list. But it's really hard. I keep coming back to this question.... What would I NOT bring with me, but listen to in the days leading up to my banishment... to refresh my memory traces... on the chance that I'll never hear them again? I think that might somehow change my list. At least of the extras I smuggle.

Pantomime emotionalism at its best.
Nicely put! :) Slaughter on 10th Avenue is s a really interesting record cos you hear the sound and the dynamics and much of the overall... um... "thingness" of Bowie at that time (or a little earlier, really) but with the absence of Bowie's conceptions and pretensions (though DB did co-write Hey Ma Get Pappa.) So it's almost like Bowie-less Bowie.... which is fine... cos so much of what made Bowie so great at the time was Mick Ronson. Bowie's Pinups is interesting in a sorta kinda similar way, cos there you get the full effect of Bowie's vocalisms and posturing and the Ronson/Spiders musical approach (also with Aynsley on drums), with outstanding songs, but not one of them is BY Bowie. So it's also a little like Bowie-less Bowie, but this time WITH Bowie. It's one of my favorite records by him. Or anybody.
