Free Music Notes for Best of Bowie
Free Music Review: Weak
Hit: 1 Stars
Mr Bowie should stick to acting - I thought he was excellent in Labyrinth but this spin off album which cynically tries to cash in on that success is unimpressive to say the least. Mr Bowie could learn a thing or two from Will Smith who can both sing and act. For shame!Free Music Review: A good collection
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is a great collection of David Bowie?s most succesfull songs. It shows all his legendaries changes and give you an overview about his carrer.
David Bowie had his first hit in 1969 with "Space Oddity", follwed by the kult album "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" and the later discovered "The Man who sold the World, what?s a real masterpiece and was covered by many artists.
This CD is a great thing for new Bowie fans or old fans who wannna have all the great stuff on one CD. It?s also an amazing party collection and a must for music-lovers, of the 70?s and todays music.
Free Music Review: Yes, you DO need the 2-Disc Edition.
Hit: 5 Stars
I received the 1-Disc 'Best of Bowie' for Christmas, back when I was just a Bowie novice. With the 18 or 19 song track list, it was a short listen, but covered all of the basics. The problem was; I wanted more. I searched every record shop, EVERY eBay auction, until I got everything OTHER THAN the Tin Machine albums and 'Black Tie White Noise'. I am WORKING on getting those now. I finally came across the best of bowie 2-Disc edition, and boy am I glad I purchased it!
The first extra essential this disc has to offer is the classic 'The Man Who Sold The World'. It was so good, it was covered by Nirvana! I consider it to be one of Bowie's finest; right up there with my all time favorite Bowie song, 'Ziggy Stardust'. It also covers another Bowie essential, 'Life On Mars?'. It's more of a nostalgical piece, the beginning taking place in a girl's dreamworld. He actually performed this with the indie band Arcade Fire. And, of course, it also covers 'Oh! You Pretty Things', which is another classic Bowie song off of 'Hunky Dory'. Other songs that have been put on this album and not on the 1-Disc include 'Sorrow', 'Drive-In Saturday' and the slightly controversial 'John, I'm Only Dancing'.
The second disc is more of the 'present' Bowie. The first track is off of 'Low', which many people title 'technologically ahead of its time'. 'Sound And Vision' is one of the most famous songs Bowie has ever done, because it was featured on BBC (I think...) The title track off of 'Scary Monsters' is also here, thank goodness! It is such a good song and it showcases Bowie's 'Chameleon' technique. I'm also satisfied because 'Loving The Alien' is also on this; it's my all-time favorite Bowie song! It also includes more recent Bowie, like 'Little Wonder' and 'Slow Burn'.
The 1-Disc Bowie is good for beginners, but if you want a real good taste of the most inventive artist in the world, get the 2-Disc edition. It covers more ground than perhaps any other Greatest Hits compilation (with the exception of Van Halen, maybe...). You wouldn't be dissappointed with this purchase. It's a lot better than getting Bowie's albums as a starter, and then not liking them...although I'm sure you would.
It's just that good!
Free Music Review: THIS IS A GREAT CD
Hit: 5 Stars
I ALREADY OWN A COUPLE OF BOWIE ALBUMS BUT I STILL WANTED TO GO OUT AND GET THIS ONE AND I LOVE IT! IT HAS BEEN STUCK IN MY CD CHANGER IN MY CAR SINCE CHRISTMAS. AND I STILL AM LISTENING TO IT. MY GIRLFIEND WHO IS A NU-METAL, MODERN ROCK LOVER. SHE IS INTO BANDS LIKE LAMB OF GOD, FOO FIGHTERS, SOAD, BREAKING BENJAMIN AND SOME OTHER CRAPPY BANDS AS WELL, BUT ANYWAY LET ME GET BACK TO THE POINT I WAS PLAYING THIS FOR HER AND EVERY OTHER SONG SHE WOULD MAKE THE COMMENT OF HOW MUCH SHE LIKED THE SONG AND DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT WAS BOWIE UP UNTIL THAT MOMENT. AND IT JUST SHOCKED ME THAT SHE WAS THAT UNINFORMED ABOUT ONE OF THE GREATEST MUSICIANS OF THE LAST 30 YEARS. JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU HOW PATHETIC RADIO TRULLY IS THESE DAYS!Free Music Review: The Definitive David Bowie
Hit: 5 Stars
This 2 disc compilation of David Bowie is the definitive collection - it has all of his big hits and songs most associated with him. You really can't go wrong with this compilation. Some songs have been shortened, but in my opinion, this still stands as the best 2 CD set of David Bowie that you're going to find. I highly recommend this to anyone that likes David Bowie and 70's-80's rock.
