Bought the album in 1973 when it came out. I was 15 and loved it from the first listen. I realized Mike Garsons piano was fantasic. I miss musical artists that were as brave and creative as Bowie.
He'll love the lead guitar on Always Crashing In The Same Car. Or my personal fav' karaoke tune Warszawa.
Great in depth review. Absolutely brilliant song. The piano solo DOES become an earworm on repeated listening. Still fresh sounding 50 years later. I personally prefer the harder, dirtier, sleazier and romantic sound of the Aladdin Sane album to the more mainstream rock sound of Ziggy Stardust.
As a follow up suggestion, do the Sweet Thing trilogy as you mentioned the tie in to Aladdin Sane.
I also love the beautiful Subterraneans from Low which is such a departure from anything he had done before.
Brilliant and unforgettable ❤
Love it!!! I got to see him once when I was 16 in Sydney in 1978. The tour was essentially the 'Stage' album with a big focus on 'Low' ad 'Heroes'. The highlight was a massive version of 'Station to Station'!
My favorite Bowie song, heck, my favorite song period. In a lengthy career of pure genius, this song is the one that put Bowie on the same level as The Beatles for musical exploration. Art for art’s sake.
Thanks for your comments. To be honest, I wasn't sure how popular this track would be, so it's heart-warming to see so much love for it.
Cheers, Jon.
Like this format. Always interesting to watch Newby reaction
One of my favourite Bowie tracks. I find Blackstar almost goes back to this album with its avant garde sound
It's a pleasant sounding song.....then the piano adds that menace. Brilliant.
There is very little I can say that had not already been said about this album that hasn’t already been said.
On a personal note though, when I first bought this album I lived with my parents and we only had a small mono record player.It wasn’t until 1977 when I moved into a squat where they had a very loud stereo set up that I actually really heard it properly. I think only then I learned what record producers really do.
Bowie's voice often annoys me, and this is one such case. (I make exceptions for the Ziggy album and Heroes/Helden, which are belters.) The middle piano break is of a style known in the classical world as "vamp until ready".
I once same across a video on this esteemed site (now deleted), in which someone had been fooling around with his new Super 8 in London around 1965, when a very sharply-dressed young man walked into shot and smiled and waved at the camera. I imagine the Bowie estate snaffled it. He adopted his stage name because of a name clash with Davy Jones of The Monkees, who'd registered his with Equity first.
I'm still disappointed that the NME pulled its 1990 poll for Bowie's best song, after a subversive campaign to get The Laughing Gnome to #1.
