Earthling - David Bowie

[gravedigger]

ITT we talk about how awesome this album is so we don't continue to derail Vin's thread of badassery.

So, yeah, this album kick so much ass you don't even know. Seven Years in Tibet is, like, one of the best songs ever. Hell, I probably like Trent Reznor more for influencing Bowie to head in this direction than anything NIN has done. Not that any of you care, but I just made a mix for cycling and Dead Man Walking made it on there.

Reznor is the reason I got into Bowie. This album is full of win.

[Martin]

Bowie was WIN since day one.

Except that when I was a teenager the only thing I knew of Bowie was the fucking Labyrinth. Earthling is what broke me out of that.

[Martin]

Labyrinth was great for Bowie. And young Connelly.

[Abraham Smashington]

I hate that movie. Found it annoying as a kid and find it worse as an adult.

Do you also murder babies? And stomp on fresh daisies? And stop the DVD when Connelly goes A2A?

Labyrinth could never hurt anyone as awesome as Bowie. It's like owning every hotel in Monopoly and then landing on Baltic Ave. - it's an unimportant blip.

The only stuff I dug was some of the puppets. I was too young to really care about Connelly being hot, and when I got older I had already seen her go ass to ass. I even tried to watch it again recently with Lesley. I just can't do it. It's so FUCKING BORING.

Here's to hoping Hoggle pisses on your day!

Also, you should check out Tin Machine if you want to check out Bowie not doing typical Bowie.

[Abraham Smashington]

I have everyone of his albums/bsides/singles etc. I love Bowie. I just don't like the Labyrinth.

Tin Machine was the tits! I still say Reeves Gabrels is one of the most criminally underrated guitar players in the world.

Saw Bowie in Atlanta in 1990... and 20 years later, it's still the best fucking show I've ever seen.

Well don't be shy, and load that shit up so I can download it. kkthx.

Tin Machine was GREAT!!

Holy shit...I can't believe how IN AGREEMENT I am with almost everything in this thread.
- LOVE 'Earthling' (although I like 'Outside' a bit more).
- LOVE 'Tin Machine', especially their second album.
- LOVE Reeves Gebrels.
- HATE 'Labyrinth' for the exact same reasons that Rob cited. I thought that I was the only person that hated that movie.
