David Bowie - Future Legend + Diamond Dogs

[Loverboy19691]

My grandad bill ( now 85) got the original album when it was released in 1974, i was 5 at the time and the future legend track used to frighten the hell out of me! it was always at the very begining when david bowie did that awful howl, made me cry every time and i begged my grandad bill to take it off!, oh the memory of it when i here this on here!

@6Glamslam9- no a pussy.

I think the songs are really great but the production is very vague and weak.

[sallyfieldrequired]

@kostasxrysogelos I agree but I think, creatively speaking, this context it really works. it's just unusual, it all sounds very life yet his voice seems detached, but I think it really works that way

@Mootageri A 'true' Bowie fan? What, is there a secret handshake? I've been following Bowie since the 60's... haven't needed anyone's approval yet.

100% TOP NOTCH ENTERTAINMENT.

what a memory......

[AngusMeltedMyFace]

This is what perfection sounds like.

[mynameisvanille]

umm... OK.....

@Mootageri In my opinion Diamond Dogs is one of Bowie's weakest 70's albums. It has a couple of great tracks but doesn't have the depth of Hunky Dory , Ziggy Stardust and others. I don't have to rate DD'S to be a proper fan.Do you like all Bowies stuff spanning 40 odd years? ( Have you heard The Laughing Gnome?)

[TheHappylifeTheatre]

@terryeggett1 That's just the way perspective works I guess. I think DD, Hunky, and Monsters are his strongest

Have to disagree totally with the last post

Bowies Diamond Dogs was the pinnacle of his earlier works

I thought this album was his best when it was released, and nothing after has surpassed it.

[Foldisfitch]

@1959dgj No doubt!!!

[terryeggett1]

I am loathe to criticise Bowie because I am a massive fan, however my brother bought this album when it first came out and I was very disappointed. Having just revisited it I still am.

the time of genocide is just..now.Don't you see??

[leonakita]

Not many realize with the Spiders from Mars terminated at this point in time, Bowie played most of the instrumentals on this studio recording including lead guitar on all tracks save for Alan Parker on '1984', putting to bed the notion that he couldn't play guitar for shit.

Just the fukkin' GREATEST ALBUM EVER MADE, that's all. Totally underrated.

[AwesomeBeatles]

Sitting in Paul's basement smoking weed and getting ripped. Man, I can't believe that was over 35 years ago. We played this album a whole lot.

halloween jack is the fuckin man

[marrrtin]

THIS AIN'T ROCK 'N' ROLL... THIS IS GENOCIDE

[cy2087]

When I first heard this as a young man I thought that it was describing the surviviors of a nuclear exchange and fallout. Now (2011) I see this as an even more horrible set of circumstances resulting from global climate changes and economic collapses engineered by the most greedy and and self interested members of our societies. This was once a fantasy. Now I fear that this is a reality that looms before us if we don't find the courage to change our ways.

[evilashxero]

I can't get into this particular album of his, but this opener and first track are classic.

The year of.... THE DIAMOND DOGS!
