I got there though. I will be honest that it took me until my early 40s to really appreciate Lady Grinning Soul. Now I think it is the best film score song that Bowie ever wrote for a movie that was never made.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834198189370622587.post-59373054355756873192020-05-21T20:57:01.498+01:002020-05-21T20:57:01.498+01:00This is my sister's favourite album.

I remember finding the cover a little scary when leafing through her albums as a kid.Rolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02103804480646939038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834198189370622587.post-31266020054100580852020-05-21T10:26:22.276+01:002020-05-21T10:26:22.276+01:00I always thought Aladdin Sane was patchy, personal...I always thought Aladdin Sane was patchy, personally. That doesn't mean it doesn't have its moments and I think you and Jez have pretty much nailed three of them. Cracked Actor in particular makes my list of all time fave Bowie songs.TheRobsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18277941961790844321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834198189370622587.post-47470189591592833492020-05-21T10:21:24.570+01:002020-05-21T10:21:24.570+01:00Yes.

Either way they're both dense, experimental albums following career defining commercial successes. They're also often unfairly overlooked gems. Of course thereafter it was onwards and upwards for Bowie, while Bolan, commercially at least, saw his fortunes steadily decline.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.com
