with Bowie it gets pretty confusing, he has so many compilation albums with the same songs over and over.
Actually one of my goals in life is to collect every Bowie compilation ever, just to see how many there really is.
But yes its one of my faves.
Bazza, do you know which album London Bye ta ta is originally on? |

I'm suprised that no one has mentioned Roxy Music under this topic.
A crucial band, that pioneered the way for most of the others I see listed. Edgy, noisy glam-rock bliss if anyone needs something challenging out of the past to pick up on. I'd pick up there self-titled, Country Life, and For Your Pleasure first, and then move on to others. I don't know if FB himself is a fan, he's mentioned Bowie so much from the same period, but if you listen to the weirdness of Roxy you can't help but understand how they paved the way for the pixies, especially in the chord-progression realm, as well as production similarities to FB's two solo albums.

yes i do - kind of. before the release of space oddity bowie released and album called 'london boy'
http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?PID=1391962&frm=sh_google
with the laughing gnome etc. but london bye ta ta was not included on it - instead a nice version can be found on the bowie at the beeb cd which was released a couple of years back. its excellent stuff. david jones - you kick ass sir.
hope that helps. cheers
There may be no 'I' in team, but there's a 'ME' if you look hard enough. |

Damnit, now you got me all thinking about Bowie. I always think of a good username after the fact. I should have been QueenBitch. Its not Pixies tune but it would've been cool nonetheless.
If she says she can do it, she can do it, she don't make false claims. |

I agree, and you may be interested to know that Frank and The Catholics covered the Roxy tune "Remake/Remodel" a few years back. It appeared as a B-side on a European CD maxi-single.

Have you guys heard Bowie's cover of Cactus? I am wholly sure it got the thumbs up from Frank - esp. since its easily as good as the original...

Well, if you're just starting:
This Year's Model
Armed Forces
My Aim is True
Get Happy!
Blood and Chocolate
When I Was Cruel
Trust
The Rest is better than 90% of anything else, and comes in close to those select 7.
In fact, I'm going to go listen to them now, in order.

Has anybody mentionned the Rocky IV soundtrack??? If you're a overweight and want to lose some then buy this album, it'll have you running up mountains, lifting all manner of weights and shadow boxing like no-one would believe. Definately essential listening back in 1986 when the film was released.

Stranded - Roxy Music
Scary Monsters - David Bowie
Trompe Le Monde - The Pixies
Tilt - Scott Walker
Dirty - Sonic Youth
The Oliver Twist Manifesto - Luke Haines
Tremble Under The Boom Lights - Jonathon Fire Eater
Desire - Bob Dylan
The Songs Of Nina Simone - Nina Simone
Hurtzsprung-Russell - Scarla O' *
* Ok, you can't buy that one in the shops...

Your post is the only one, where CALEXICO is mentioned.
I wonder that it is the only message in the forum,
mentioning this excellent band. I have to listen to your
other favourites. Thanks for your advice  |

| I really liked the first cd from Marcy Playground, especially from track 6 and on. But I didn't really like too much else from them but that first album was fantastic. |

speedy m.
I did not count those two. Original Poster said not too mention F. Black, as that would be the obvious choice.
But, for you speedy...
My favorite pixies is a tie between Surfer Rosa & Bossonova
My favorite F. Black is FBATC debute album.
(P.S. F. Black and the Pixies are 2 of only a hand-full of musicians in which I have every single major released album...for Pilgrim to BLD and DW, and everything in between.) |
