COMMUNITY REVIEWS

david bowie submitted by a2sue on August 17, 2013, 7:49am so many great songs! my fave here is space oddity

Put On Your Red Dress And Dance submitted by Fevvers - STAR473 on July 18, 2014, 1:22am Fantastic and huge selection of David Bowie's hit songs spanning over 30 years of his career. Includes his collaborations with Mick Jagger and others, and a sample of his work in the group Tin Machine. The remastering sounds good to me, but I'm not an expert ear, just a massive Bowie fan. This is not all the Bowie you'll ever need (because you need ALL the Bowie), but it's a great selection and really interesting to hear all the changes throughout this long chunk of his career.

(I can't help wishing there were some alternative versions offered along with the radio singles, such as demos and so on, but that's not really the point of a greatest hits collection.)

Dance submitted by cinderellariley on August 14, 2014, 3:10pm All the best of David Bowies songs.

best of submitted by pmysore on August 23, 2015, 4:30pm Great collection from a great musician. I liked the first disc better

Bowie! submitted by Suzanne Muenz on July 6, 2017, 6:52pm This is a pretty good sampling of this immensely talented man!

Changes! submitted by tbbrown76 on July 13, 2018, 11:08pm Rebel rebel. Both great. Others are good. I miss him already.

Great songs submitted by kencza on July 26, 2019, 10:54pm The usual problem with compilations is that the songs are taken out of the context of the rest of the music on the LP's. Disc ! here gives pretty much hits and the 2nd is mostly collaborations. A nice selection but not cohesive and there is a lot of great music missing.
