David Bowie’s 25 favourite albums
>>127983100I haven't heard of most of these
>>127983100>his favorite album has three songs with 'nigger' on their titlelel
>>127983128Me either. I knew he liked Jacques Brel, Little Richard, and the Velvets...which kind of sum his career pretty well.
>>127983100>TVU>Reich>Crumb>Branca>Partch>Stravinsky >Syd Barrett>MingusHoly fucking based
>>127983100Shipbuilding and Robert Wyatt in general is an interesting case, since it used to be one of the /mu/core-style building blocks of English music. It was near the top of early RYM charts, early Allmusic rankings, etc. In the very early 2000's, in other words. But it was just too relentlessly white and rooted in the specific traditions of Olde England to maintain its reputation into modernity. Kind of similar to Richard and Linda Thompson, Steeleye Span, and other acts.
>>127983271Richard Thompson is pretty accessible though just for being a rad guitar player.
No Velvet Sundown?
>>127983100incel music taste
>>127983281>incel>perfectly sculpted facemaxxerpick one.
>>127983100>shipbuilding Boring milquetoast slop
>>127983100virtue signaling dead faggot
>>127983100>Robert Wyatt - Shipbuilding what? it's a song he didn't even write from a compilation
>>127983330not a big loss for music.
>>127983100Shipbuilding is not an album
>>127983100I miss when people actually had unique and interesting lists of favorite albums that gave you some insight into their tastes and personality. Then RYM ruined everything and now every "music nerd" you encounter has virtually the exact same top 10.
>>127983100Boring old man shit.
>>127983100Surprised not to see any Scott Alker on there, given Bowie's anxiety at several points in his career to match him.
>>127983985>Scott Alker*Scott Walker
>>127983909Its more about virtue signaling than the music anymore
>>127983985Walker's not on the list, because Bowie didn't match him. Deep down, Bowie knew he was a fraud.
>>127983995How is it about virtue signaling?
>>127983100>The Fugs
>>127983985>>127984000no one cares about scott walker, meanwhile bowie is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
>>127984078We're talking about *Bowie's* favorite albums, and maybe you never noticed, but Walker was an influence on him practically his whole career. His second to last album has "Heat", a song trying to compete with Walker's "The Electrician" just over 30 years after Walker wrote it (and almost 20 years after Bowie's first attempt to match it with "The Motel").
>>127984105he not only matched but far exceeded walker throughout his career.
>>127984113In what sense?
>>127984078Pearl Jam was more influential than Nirvana. Who cares. Still shit.
>>127984113By what metric? By Bowie's metric, apparently he hadn't thought so if he was still trying to match The Electrician into the 90s and by his second to last album.
>>127983100>incel music taste
>>127984264Incels listen to charli xcx
>>127984320Incels have better taste than Bowie? Damn.
>madcap laughsbased
>>127983100when did he make this list? this feels like early in his careerhe also went for the hipster option for Wyatt
>>1279847472003
>>127984209every sense
>>127984948In that case I disagree
>>127984747>this feels like early in his careerit's got fucking glenn branca on it bro
>>127983100i hope thats not real
Rip David Bowie he would've loved the life of a showgirl
>>127983100Why doesn't he have anything after 2016? baka
I remember I found Banana Moon from this list years ago. Good album.
>muh old black guy blues albumoh fuck off with this mandatory shit, nobody listens to that wax cylinder out of tune acoustic guitar bullshit for real. this isn't SOCIAL STUDIES class, so drop the act
source?>>127984078>most influential artists of the 20th century.lol, no>>127990217listen more blues fucking faggot
>>127983100Does anybody really believe he's busting out The Last Poets all the time to listen toISB and Wyatt are the only ones I can believe he liked enough to take influence from
>the madcap laughsfuck off, you hipster loser
