As I said, there are some real highlights here, Satelite Of Love was definitely one especially the ending.

I might be in the minor...Way too low on the list. <br /><br />I might be in the minority but, among a lot of stiff competition, Satillite of Love is the track here. Gorgeous and creepy...Bowie inexplicably urned this odd velvet underground song into a classic....stone cold.

Along ...Hard to believe that this was as low as 97. Along with 'The Slider' and 'Raw Power', this was a musical coming of age album for me, shared among all my pals at school. Every time I hear that soaring 'Satellite of Love' chorus, or the timeless character studies of 'Walk on the Wild Side', I'm right back there in my old bedroom, ear pressed to the mono speaker. Bedazzled, yet trying to make sense of subject matters that were just beyond the reach of my 12 year old understanding.<br />By the way, you're quite right to note Bowie's input, but Mick Ronson's massive contribution to the album shouldn't be overlooked either.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.com
