dittoBut any Bowie is an acquired taste.
This is very true. I appreciate Bowie, but never really liked him much. Just doesn't hit me like some others do, and I can't explain why.
For whatever reason I've always enjoys music with band names as opposed to solo bands like Bowie, Sting, etc. Seems like the guitar and drums often take a back seat when you have a main headliner.dittoBut any Bowie is an acquired taste.

Yeah, every time I commit to doing a deeper dive into Bowie's music I end up throwing in the towel early. I think some of his stuff is incredible, bordering on genius. But there is a LOT of yuck in there too.But any Bowie is an acquired taste.

Bowie May be a musical genius but very few of his songs do much for me. He is another of those artists that people think they should like because it makes them cool. Would not make my top 100.Yeah, every time I commit to doing a deeper dive into Bowie's music I end up throwing in the towel early. I think some of his stuff is incredible, bordering on genius.

I think Tim has the right album for sure.
What the??? Ziggy Stardust is amazing!For me, this is by far the worst ranking yet. Wouldn't make my top 100, not even close. #7?![]()
Local CR also played Second Hand News and Never Going Back Again. Between this one and the other one on your count down, Fleetwood Mac got a ton of airplay6. Fleetwood Mac- Rumours (1977)
Classic rock radio hits: Dreams, Don’t Stop, You Make Loving Fun, The Chain, Go Your Own Way, Gold Dust Woman

I picked Gold Dust Woman in krista's Worldwide Countdown. It's the best of an extremely strong collection of songs.
I guess given my experience with much of this crowd in music threads over the years, I shouldn't be surprised at the many of the Bowie takes in here, but I still find them bizarre.
I’m freaking out a little bit about this. Did I miss something totally obvious? Sure hope not.And I definitely was biased in my predictions - as @Just Win Baby said, I’m curious to see what Tim excluded - there’s at least one album from 3 all-timers that apparently didn’t make his list.

I only see one band that could have more than one album left, and I don’t think they have three albums remaining that fall within the specified date range.I’m freaking out a little bit about this.

Out of the 6 remaining that I predicted, 3 are by one artist. So I'm guessing you left one of those out. Which will really surprise me, that you didn't have one of those in your top 100. Look forward to seeing which one, though I suspect I know which one.

Congrats @Anarchy99 and @Ghost Rider, both had Ziggy Stardust on their list.
So Far
5/5 Anarchy, Ghost Rider
4/5 Just Win Baby, Pip's Invitation

Predictions were all done via PM. It would be bad form to do them in the thread. Even if some choices might be obvious, it is just good manners to let Tim list them when he is ready.This thread has been playing out for over 4 months. So, I don't understand the current rush to make predictions.
I agree. But some people are constantly alluding to their predictions. For example, "I have 3 in the top 10 from one artist. So one must not be on Tim's list".Predictions were all done via PM.

She’s gone.Can we get back to the greatest classic yacht rock thread?
Being 14/15 and pretentious as hell, I did not like Rumours when it came out. I didn't understand what they were singing about, because the were adults singing about grown-up stuff and I wasn't an adult. Just seemed like pap to me then.IMO Rumours is one few albums whose immense popularity is totally justified among the general public, critics, and other musicians alike. It's just an amazing accomplishment by a fractured band that somehow managed to pull it all together.

I basically agree. It wouldn't finish high on my list, but I still like it a lot, and if I tried to do a list of the most popular/best classic rock albums based on popularity, known songs, etc., it would certainly be top 10.IMO Rumours is one few albums whose immense popularity is totally justified among the general public, critics, and other musicians alike. It's just an amazing accomplishment by a deeply fractured band that somehow managed to pull it all together.
Silver Springs would have put the album into another stratosphere, if that’s even possible.They also occasionally played Silver Spring, the B-side of Go Your Own Way that got new life when it was featured in The Dance. (It was added to pressings of Rumours after the release of The Dance; Nicks was highly upset that it had been cut from Rumours in the first place.)
Easy enough mistake to make. Tim listed the criteria for albums to make his list in the 1st post and then it disappeared and was replaced by the list of albums.That resolves some of the picks.You know it’s 1967-1981, right?I’m freaking out a little bit about this.

Might as well set my list on fire. I’m an idiot who wasn’t paying attention.
I’m not a Big Mac fan either but Rumours is incredible. Stevie gets a lot credit for her talent but I’m not sure it’s enough. She is amazing.Silver Springs would have put the album into another stratosphere, if that’s even possible.They also occasionally played Silver Spring, the B-side of Go Your Own Way that got new life when it was featured in The Dance. (It was added to pressings of Rumours after the release of The Dance; Nicks was highly upset that it had been cut from Rumours in the first place.)
I say all this and I’m not even a huge Mac fan during the Stevie/Lindsay years.

Maybe your school is different but every team I've coached/worked with it was the coaches or administration that made the warm-up playlists, not the kids. Good chance it was a 50 year old AD who put that together.Forgot to update, the last song during their warmup......wait for it.......At a girls high school basketball game. Started off with Ozzy for warm ups and then went to AC/DC. All classic rock, zero Taylor Swift.
Not hearing any Beatles either.
Van Halen
Yup, even girls not old enough to drive have Van Halen higher than 60.
Insanity.I guess given my experience with much of this crowd in music threads over the years, I shouldn't be surprised at the many of the Bowie takes in here, but I still find them bizarre.
I’m with the crowd - never been a big Bowie fan. Handful of great songs but don’t like any of his albums in full.
