Gary Numan-We Are So Fragile

[bengerman04]

A big nod to Roxy Music's 'The Numberer.'

[superunt43]

I'm white?

[santiago76able]

gary, you are the MASTER!!...

[OralAgreement69]

much better than bowie

[irishcowboy42]

Great Pop thats all numan fans, nothing original here...

[superunt43]

@irishcowboy42 HaHa, REALLY? Nothing original? There is no such thing as an Irish cowboy, BTW.

[irishcowboy42]

@superunt43 Your point being?

[superunt43]

@irishcowboy42 OMG, a gentlemen challenger as to my nonsense, of course there is such a thing as Irish cowboy. You bothered to fire shot back across my bow my friend, nothing more. My point is to needle, nothing more get an intelligent response other than vulgar language.

[irishcowboy42]

@superunt43 If that is the case then your needle is blunt my friend :-). I have great time for Mr Numan (webb) and what he achieved early in his career but the notion that he was an original is just folly I'm an original though as yes i'm irish and i own a stetson!

[machman36]

5 albums are class

[ghaladgwaith]

Good stuff

[tntwraith]

only numanoids understand this

[MJP474]

thank u2 all now radios and a new wheel chair for Billy

[LivinWorstNightmare]

Reminds me of something off of Bowie's Low. Brilliance.

[leonakita]

@LivinWorstNightmare wow.. thats a big step.... i wouldnt go that far...Bowie's LOW is at another level entirely... but i agree that numan had a knack for creating some interesting unusal synth sounds

[MrJjjudge]

fantastic 1st song i learnt all the parts 2 could already play guitar lent a synth of a m8 + bingo i nailed it. 4 got this 1 utill yesterday + BANG nailed it again. what a great muzzo + still @ it!!.

[Jarren202]

One of my favourite Numan tracks.

I still have the original double cd compilation I bought as a teenager. If memory serves me correct it had this album on cd 1 and The Plan on cd 2.

[KSX387Database]

"We are so fragile

Advertising lies that are whiter than yours

We are so fragile

They could give us a war just to keep us amused"

so true...

[zarathustra2k1]

@KSX387Database Quoted for truth. Prescient too...

Replicas stands as his finest moment.

[DimensionsofChange]

Gary Numan is a gateway drug to the Avant-Garde.

[wardlewarrior]

B side of Are Friends Electric , and I actually think this should have been a single on it's own, though I suppose it's short and sweet..

[hummmer11]

this is a punk song!!

[Kromaglathon]

Awsome, loved it then.....love it now

[blakeyonthebuses]

what a classic album. this and metamatic are in my all time top ten. sort of changed music for me

[jrmetmoi]

@blakeyonthebuses good taste

[Diddlydewdrop]

We are so lucky he's still going strong and getting better with age.

[P8290970]

"They could give us a war just keep us amused"..........No-one but Numan writes lyrics like that !!!!!!!!!

[AshleyMarkPomeroy]

@P8290970 Strangely relevant these days...

[P8290970]

@AshleyMarkPomeroy Seems it doesn't it......Maybe Mr Numan should re-release as a single in its own right. It certainly doesn't sound dated....to me anyway.

[euth]

probably the best B-side I ever heard anyone record. Thanks uploader

[slinkydi]

my all time fave tubeway army bring back 1979

[P8290970]
