Love Bowie but I've never understood why this album is regarded more highly than his other output when in my mind it is definitely inferior to Station to Station, Low, Heroes, and Hunky Dory. I'd even place Lodger, Young Americans, Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps), Diamond Dogs, and Let's Dance above it probably.
However, Rock N Roll Suicide is one of his best ever songs. I just think the whole musical direction of the album is lightweight and uninspired compared to his later work, which is infinitely more interesting. Maybe it's the slightly ridiculous concept and lyrics that turn me off?
