Am I actually the first to add this record? It's great!! Visconti's production is great (besides, he is a brilliant bass guitarist), and Bowie'sguitar parts are good (just listen to "Cactus"). There's some solid rock on the record, some brilliant lyrics (just listen to "A better future" - deliciously blasphemous), and great songs. A solid recommendation.

Hunky Dory is one of my fav cd's you should check it out

With all due respect, are your ears made out of clay? Why has no-one voted for Bowie's seminal Low album? Too obvious, perhaps? Afraid to look like a novice in front of your cool friends? Let's face it people, this album is Bowie's best. It tore music a new aperture.

The first record by the lead guitarist from the 'Let's Dance' record, released in 1983 as well. SRV is considered to be one of, if not the, greatest blues guitarists ever, so this record is essential listening to anybody who has affection for blues or wants to claim a broad knowledge of music. Also recommended listening for fans of Jimi Hendrix, although they might do well to listen to SRV's second record, 'Couldn't stand the Weather', which contains a cover of "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)". Vaughan's energy and intensity kept Blues alive through the 80ies and into the 90ies.

Produced by DB, this record features the original recording of "China Girl". Iggy Pop was in those days even more extreme than Bowie. ("I'd wakeup in the morning with bumps on my head, blood on my shirt, and something green growing out of my penis.") The record is a cross between Berlin-era Bowie and Punk.

The first record of The Velvet Underground (w/ banana cover by Andy Warhol), produced by Andy Warhol. David Bowie heard a pre-release demo of this record, a few months before its release, and became probably the first VU-fan, playing a cover of 'Waiting for my Man' with his band at the time (1966) before the song was released!

Almost every song on the record is written by singer/guitarist Lou Reed, who founded the band with John Cale. Reed later said that they came up with the idea while "dealing some drugs", thinking that there should be a safer way of making money. (Like Rock 'n' Roll is safe!)

Personally, I think the music on this record is absolutely terrible, but if you feel entirely trashed and you're looking for something to reflect that mood, look no further!

Lou Reed's first post-Velvet Underground record, produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson, featuring David Bowie on background vocals and Mick Ronson on guitar and background vocals, 1972.

David Bowie is probably one of the first VU-fans. In fact, he first became a fan when he heard the pre-release version of VU's first record. The story goes that in '71, Bowie visited a VU concert, and spent half an hour backstage talking to Lou Reed's replacement, whom he believed to be Reed himself, about one of Reed's songs. When Bowie later found out about his mistake, he got the idea that it doesn't matter whether or not you are who you are, or something. This was where he got the idea for Ziggy from.
