One of the things i love about David Bowie's career, more so than most artists of his longevity, is how different each era of music sounds from one another, and how devoted the fan base can be to their particular favorite. And that favorite can totally change over time. I used to be way, way into Ziggy-era Bowie, and electro-industrial Bowie before that, but of late, Berlin Bowie is my frequent go to era. The combination of "Low," "Heroes," and "Lodger" is damn near flawless, and was the forebear of so much to come. "Heroes," the 1977 released centerpiece of the trilogy, has become a kind of cultural touchstone, its title track ranking up there with the very best that the man ever recorded. The whole thing is remarkable though, with my favorite being the sweeping and exotic "Sons of the Silent Age." Listen below.
