A lot of people think of early Bowie as way folky or spacey, that the really driving rockers didn't arrive until Ziggy did. They're wrong. While there certainly was plenty of folk and space imagery to go around, Bowie was always able to deliver as raucous a jam as any of his contemporaries. Just listen to the opening drum beat, the eerie vocals, the slow tempo guitar riff of "The Supermen," the album closer to 1970's "The Man Who Sold the World." It's weird and it rocks.
