I'd like to suggest that this album be part of an occasional series:

"Is It Really As Good as They Say It Is?"

A sub-category.

Y'know, a bit like Ginger Tuesdays.

Doesn't have to on a set day though of course.

Just pick an artiste's most celebrated album - especially one you're not that familiar with, or at least haven't listened to in years.

Isn't this considered a bit of a classic example of a over-rated album now?

Last time I listened to it, May 2019, I thought it was good, underrated if anything..

I'm not doing Pet Sounds or Sargent Pepper's Boney Hearts Clubbers.

That's a reissue it's got a Mainman logo on it.

And I've always thought The Dark Side of the Moon was a middling Plunk Floyd album.

It's not my favourite.

9 minutes to go.

It's started!

Track 1 - Five Years.

Fade in...

I will be mostly listening to a wav file I made off the LP.

I'm in!

Crackles.

Drums.

One of his greatest songs.

I made several pieces of artwork about one lyric in this song.

Using piano like Lennon did in the same era.

Something something My Way,

This seems decent for a Bowie album track.

God, this is good.
