Bowie Album Survivor: Final Round

JGuy Grungeman · 07-17-2016, 10:18 AM

I've already got my hands full with the noise rock album survivor and the big 4 threads. I'm in no rush to play a bunch of live Bowie albums.

Knew Ziggy would win, and I'm pleased. Great thread, Grindy. I've enjoyed it and I really should be posting in other areas of Music banter by now, not enough time atm!

Not especially fussed about the live Bowie thread though, I've heard bootlegs which are better than some of the official ones (1978's Stage, anyone?...not for me).

What about a Bowie singles eliminator?

It's Trollheart's thread. I'm just keeping it warm for him. *wipes away tear*

I never listen to singles and it'll take ridiculously long, so I'm not sure.
Some live albums are actually among my first Bowie choices. And I really love Stage.

I've never listened to a live Bowie album, or a live album in general actually.

That's weird.

Is it? Doesn't interest me. Why listen to it live when I can listen to the songs in full HQ?

Live albums, at least the good ones, are much more energetic and have a special atmosphere.

I've heard all of them. It's pretty great, although not my favourite of his.

Which ones should I get? What is your favourite?

Is there a list anywhere?
