pipian posted:Where should I go for similar music to glam after having binged through Bowie, T. Rex and Roxy Music? Someone already mentioned Mott the Hoople, but to be more specific, start with All the Young Dudes. Their output before that wasn't especially glam.

HVD posted:Where should I start with Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, The Doors and Mogwai? The Doors: All you really need is Legacy: The Absolute Best as it has almost all of the first album and pretty much all the songs worth getting off their other, spottier albums. If you're opposed to compilations, get their self-titled debut as it's their best. Depeche Mode: Get Violator as it was their most successful and best album. From there, Music for the Masses, Songs and Faith of Devotion, and Black Celebration are excellent albums. Playing the Angel is also good but the audio quality is terrible because of loudness war-related bullshit. With the exception of Some Great Reward, their other albums aren't that great.

Actually the Berlin trilogy was when Bowie partially cleaned up. Station to Station (which is a great album) was when he was The Thin White Duke and coked out of his mind. The Berlin trilogy is just weird because he was also hanging out with Brian Eno, Iggy Pop, Robert Fripp, and Adrian Belew. I'd say get Scary Monsters before diving into Station to Station and the Berlin trilogy because while it's more of a new wave record (and dated production-wise) it is a pretty good summation and application of what Bowie learned on those albums.

Yeah, Station to Station was the one he didn't remember. Then him and Iggy Pop went to Berlin to clean up.

"Zombie" was kind of a one-off in their catalogue.

Ocean Rain is probably their best and has "The Killing Moon", which is their most well-known song. From there check out Crocodiles, Heaven Up Here, and Porcupine. They're the first three albums and show the band's progression from raw post-punk to something more psychedelic and elaborate.

I'd second Tender Prey as it has his signature song, "The Mercy Seat", and it's got a balance between his noisier early albums and the (relative smothness) of the later albums. Let Love In might not be a bad place to start either since it's not very abrasive but it's more rock than stuff like The Boatman's Call.
