“Buddha of Suburbia” Songs Ranked

Yes! Finally! I finally get to rank the songs on my least favourite Bowie album! Granted, after a re-listen this isn’t as bad as I thought … but it’s still pretty bad. This was the soundtrack to a TV show, and whilst there’s an argument to be made that this shouldn’t be included in hisContinue reading ““Buddha of Suburbia” Songs Ranked”

“Black Tie White Noise” Songs Ranked

After a long hiatus (“Never Let Me Down” was almost universally panned, and almost killed Bowie’s career entirely), “Black Tie White Noise” was a triumphant (to an extent) return for the Thin White Duke. This is an album that would most likely come in the bottom half of most Bowie fan’s rankings (or at leastContinue reading ““Black Tie White Noise” Songs Ranked”

“Never Let Me Down” Songs Ranked

Welp, they can’t all be zingers. This album … is pretty bad. Bowie has been quite vocal in his distaste for this one, especially the production process. I can’t help but agree, as there are a few songs here that could have been great with the right producer. As it is, this is way downContinue reading ““Never Let Me Down” Songs Ranked”

“Tonight” Songs Ranked

I don’t think this album would be particularly high on anybody’s rankings, but I’ve always had a kind of soft spot for it. Those who hated the mainstream appeal of “Let’s Dance” were disappointed even further by “Tonight”, but I can’t help but love some of the groovy tracks on it. How would I rankContinue reading ““Tonight” Songs Ranked”

“Let’s Dance” Songs Ranked

I’ve always had my 80s Bowie album opinions flipped around – “Scary Monsters” is well-regarded as one of the greatest, and most would call “Let’s Dance” overrated / underwhelming / Bowie gone too mainstream. I’ve mentioned how I don’t like Scary Monsters as much as the average fan, and now I can reveal I absolutelyContinue reading ““Let’s Dance” Songs Ranked”

“Lodger” Songs Ranked

Probably my least favourite album from the “Berlin Trilogy”, but that doesn’t mean it lacks in quality – in fact, on a good day this is probably a top 10 album of Bowie’s. How would I rank all of the tracks? You can check out some of my other Bowie lists below: Meh 10 –Continue reading ““Lodger” Songs Ranked”

“Heroes” Songs Ranked

The 2nd entry of the critically acclaimed Berlin Trilogy, “Heroes” is another excellent album from Bowie. It’s amazing how consistently he released albums in the 70s (I think he did 11 albums in 10 years?!?) and most of them are some of the greatest of all time. How would I rank they songs on thisContinue reading ““Heroes” Songs Ranked”

“Diamond Dogs” Songs Ranked

I don’t know why, but ever since I first heard “Diamond Dogs” it has ranked amongst my favourite Bowie albums. The individual songs aren’t as good as some of Bowie’s other work, but it’s a sort of “greater than the sum of its parts” record. How would I rank the songs? You can check outContinue reading ““Diamond Dogs” Songs Ranked”

“David Bowie (A.K.A Space Oddity)” Songs Ranked

This is a much better album from Bowie, and on a good day I might even put it in my top 10 records of his. It’s definitely top half though, mainly for how Bowie uses experimentation and properly sets up his musical identity, so this is without a doubt the better, official debut album. HowContinue reading ““David Bowie (A.K.A Space Oddity)” Songs Ranked”
