Best of Bowie is pretty good, and Changesonebowie (which only covers through 1976) is canonically one of the best compilation albums ever released This. Get a compilation (e.g. Nothing Has Changed), see what you like most and then get more from that era. Bowie has covered SO much ground over the last decades that it's unlikely you won't find something you like, and it's equally unlikely you'll really like everything. Personally, I've never liked his Ziggy Stardust phase that much, even though it's arguably what made him famous in the first place.

I think Never Let Me Down has one really fantastic song on it, and that's Time Will Crawl. Bowie thought so as well and included it on the iSelect compilation in a drastically remixed version. I know that many people prefer it to the NLMD version because it's a whole lot less 80s in its sound, but personally I actually think the reverb and bombastic approach added to the atmosphere of the original version.hallo spacedog posted:I really love that song (obviously) and I like Pet Shop Boys but I don't really like this mix of it. Way prefer the album version, personally. I kinda agree. I loooooove Pet Shop Boys, but they're better songwriters than producers/remixers. I still listen to the single version from time to time, and it's kinda impressive that they managed to make a pop song out of the song, which in its album version is one of the most aggressive things in Bowie's catalogue. It also payed off commercially. Peaking at position 12 in the UK was pretty good at that point in his career. DominoDancing fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Jan 13, 2016 |

I'm a huge Gaga fan, but this was a much better tribute. Also watch Annie Lennox's speech before the performance.
