      Definitely! And his cover of God Only Knows (the greatest song ever written) is actually really great! Never Let Me Down (except for possibly the title track) is just awful. Terrible production, an embarrassing tour for it, and fucking Peter Frampton on guitar? C’mon. That’s a huge step down from Robert Fripp and even Mick Ronson.

    5. _Tin Machine_ - underrated in spots
    4. _Never Let Me Down_ - guilty pleasure, the title track is class. The 2018 _NLMD_ remix album is an intriguing improvement.
    3. _Tonight_ - "Don't Look Down" & "Loving The Alien" are two of Bowie's best '80s tracks (the rest of the album is naff)
    2. _Scary Monsters_ - the New Wave album - Side One 9/10, Side Two 4/10
    1. _Let's Dance_ - greatest album of the early '80s. Perfection.

      Oh damn didn't think you would respond, legend
      In all honesty it's fine to like the 2018 mix but I feel like that the choices they made where so bizarre and made the whole album a lot more spineless and have far more punch. Bang Bang for example is one of my favourite songs on NLMD and for whatever reason they water it down and replace all the synths with strings and it becomes a sooo tacky and way less fun. NLMD has become a bit of a guilty pleasure for me for the sole reason it's so dated it becomes funny and ironically good but The mix takes itself sooo seriously, removes and replaces any quirky synths from the original
      Anyway sorry for the essay I love the content man cant wait for the 90s albums next

    Could you do a video/videos about Iggy Pop's music? His stooges albums, The Idiot, Lust for Life, Post Pop Depression and Free are his best works they're truly impeccable. New Values,Brick by Brick,American Caesar, Skull Ring and Kill City are very good as well
    Blah Blah Blah is overlooked and a good record so is Après, Preliminaires not half bad as well. His 80s period is , Zombie Birdhouse is a failure but an ambitious effort. Iggy just tried so much more than what he is known for and has some good albums up his sleeve while others are sadly flops
