Overall this is a decent collection of Bowie hits, but how can it be called "Greatest Hits" without the inclusion of one of his true masterpieces Diamond Dogs? Unfortunately I overlooked this...
Not really a Bowie fan, I always feel like he's contrived and a bit of a Queen. But years later, I gotta admit a lot of his songs makes you think of some your carefree days, I guess because the...
Decent Single Disc Collection, But The Two Disc One Puts This To Shame
There's no denying that David Bowie is one of the greatest artists in rock history (voted # 8 of all time by VH1), and condensing his 30 - plus years of music to a single or even double disc...
I try to be open-minded when it comes to 70's music, because there was so many creative artists back then doing radically different things and breaking new ground (many times not even REALIZING...
I don't care what the review says, this is the best cover of Across the Universe ever! The best song on the CD next to Fame and better than Fiona Apple's and Rufus Wainwright's, which are pretty...
Bowie's `Young Americans' is an album that I bought for one reason only; it was a David Bowie album from the 70's, his most important era. Otherwise, I would have no interest in a blue-eyed soul...
Space Oddity is probably my favorite David Bowie album. I guess for most people, this album only shows signs of what Bowie would soon become in the future- a creative, glammy songwriting...
The Sun Machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party.
This is David Bowie's first "rock" album, and his second album overall. That first album cast him as a Bob Dylan wannabe, and the less said about it, the better. Recorded several years before the...
Of course, I'm a die-hard Bowie fan, and out of all of his albums (of which i own all, barring the 80's pop star phase), this is one of the weakest. "Space Oddity" is a classic song, of course, but...
First of all, I want to say I will NOT be listening to these late 70's David Bowie albums very often (Heroes, Low, and Lodger) because for some reason, they give me incredibly severe nightmares.
There are so many reviews of this album already I don't want to be redundant but as someone who has every album that Bowie ever released and then some, I want to chime in and encourage you to check...
You know how people complain about albums with only one good song on them?
Well, this is one of those albums. The song in question is "Ashes to ashes," an inventive and attractive sequel to "Space Oddity." Aside from that, this album is a self-indulgent mess.
Scary Monsters had the full intentions of returning Bowie to his former brilliance, but it falls short. There are too many inconsistencies in between the flashes of greatness. The title track rox...
This CD abuses your fair-use rights, AMAZON SHOULD BE ASHAMED
My friend purchased this CD for me thru Amazon (rather than download it, because I'm a huge Bowie fan and of course wanted the full package with artwork), and we were both shocked to find that this...
This covers most of the best (if you can narrow it down!) I have a few other favs that it's missing. But its a great starter if you don't already own any Bowie albums. I still recommend this one...
The Single (1) CD version of the "Best of Bowie" is the one you should get if you are just interested in his all-time greatest hits (the ones that they regularly play on FM radio). The 2 CD...
David Bowie never stays with one musical style for very long; however, I think this may be the first time he has revisited a previous approach. His interest in R&B/dance music began with the Young...
Definitely listenable and worth picking up, but it was all downhill from here....
This was actually the first Bowie album I ever bought (!), and I still like it, despite listening to his much more adventurous and creative music that preceeded this album. This was Bowie's...
David Bowie always walked a thin line between commercially acceptable and just plain commercial. This is the first time he fell off and became just plain commercial. A disco-esque record, it's...
I'm a fan of acoustic covers and also a Bowie fan, so I thought this might be interesting. After a listen through, I was greatly disappointed. I heard nothing innovative or redeeming on any of...
All these tracks you can get just by getting the original albums; nothing out of the ordinary. You could just make a playlist of all these tracks and say you have this comp. This is just another...
Not the best... but not the worst eaither.... and it will play
This is not my favorite Bowie CD but it's not terrible. It helped to finish up my collection of not commonly heard Bowie songs and so I was quite happy with this purchase. Some of the songs sound...
Heros is oftern held as one of David Bowies all time best albums, but to me thats just not true, he had many more better albums. While most of the songs here...
David Bowies Lodger is a very uneasy and unsetteling album. Lodger isnt acessable in any since, which isnt a surprize as it is David Bowie! Through Bowies...
The Japan mini-LP reissue of David Bowie's landmark 1976 "Station To Station" album contains the original white-bars-with-B&W-photo designed cover,with a black booklet reprinting the liner notes...
i don't know what the low-ranking reviewer is talking about...
This album is stellar. It's tbe best album ever. It's not the best album ever...it was the best album of 1975. It was the best album of 1975 that wasn't Black Sabbath's Sabotage. It's at least on...
This is a great collection of gems. Bowie shows so much promise at an early age, that it is hard to believe he wasn't big sooner. Songs such as "The Laughing Gnome" and "Little Bombardier"...
On these early recordings, one can hear echoes of things to come. Bowie was already perfecting his storytelling abilities, and certain pet-themes crop up (such as totalitarianism in We Are Hungry...
So this is 'pre-Space Oddity Bowie' . . . not so bad.
I got this used, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of Bowie's very early tracks. I had expected them to be poor quality, teaming with good reaons that Bowie was not a hit until "Space...
I can't believe some of the negative reviews on here (especially the guy who calls the album a 'desecration' because some of the songs are single edits- you need to get out more, my friend)....
An 80s child, and the daughter of a massive Bowie fan, I'm a massive Bowie fan myself. I have played 'The Best of David Bowie: 1969 - 1974', 'The Singles Collection', 'Hours', 'Reality' and even...
I wouldn't quibble if the original albums were still easily available. The "Low" album selections should include "Subterraneans". The "Heroes" album should be represented with "Sons of the Silent...
Any single-disc compilation of David Bowie's best songs seems doomed to fail. His career is so long and varied that something is bound to be left out or un(der)represented. 1990's Changesbowie did...
I wouldn't quibble if the original albums were still easily available. This selection represents David Bowie's music very poorly. The only really worthy songs included here are "The Man Who Sold...
No, that wasn't a sample from one of Bowie's more avant garde songs; rather, it's the unmistakable sound of a cash register joyfully accepting your hard-earned cash in return for this totally...
Being an avid Bowie fan and an equally avid classical music fan, how could I resist this cd ? I was extremely disappointed in the sound quality and the musicianship.. it sounded as if the musicians...
O.K., so I know these quartet tributes are not everybody's idea of a great "tribute", but I love these things. I have several, and this one stands up with the better ones. Obviously, it makes...
These Athens, Georgia bands really did impress my socks off! Loving The Alien kicks off with "It's No Game, Part 3." I was expecting some Japanese women come on and sing off key. Boy, was I...
Despite the relative blandness throughout the album, there are some memorable songs, worth adding to any Bowie enthusiast's list. At times there's over-production and songs going on cruise control,...
One of Bowies lowest . Hours and Heathen much more interesting and with the desired twists . It's all a matter of taste , timing and the moment of ones Reality . Too hipped and so it goes . I'll...
From the opening verses sung in Japanese, there's a distinct sense that something dark and sinister is going on just beneath the surface of this record. It's a very visual album, and as Bowie...
I'm surprised about the reception of this album even with fans, there has been a lot of negative banter regarding this album and most of it, in my opinion, is misplaced. Heathen is most...
I just couldn't get into this one. For some reason I felt like this CD was just too subdued, even for Bowie. The album seems too depressing at times and not in a good way. (ala Station to Station)
This CD is good, and a lot better than anything else he's done in the last 10-15 years or so, but he may never be able to surpass "Scary Monsters" or "Let's dance", or pick any of his early to mid...
