"Look Back In Anger" by a nose.

That was the last Bowie record I bought. A few years later there was this awful song that I was always hearing on the radio. Shocked I was, to discover who it was. (the song was modern love) Anyway, I like the cover of Lodger.

You should have bought "Scary Monsters" before you stopped.
― Geir Hongro, Friday, 8 June 2007 08:21 (sixteen years ago) link
You should have bought Let's Dance, skipped Tonight and then bought Never Let Me Down.

And as for a particular song, I guess "Look back in anger", as others have said. It has a difficult groove, it's always on the verge of falling apart. That drummer is way overactive... I think; I'm not sure if it's his fault. The guitar solo is great.

It's actually Carlos Alomar (the rhythm guitarist), if I recall.
― Joe, Friday, 8 June 2007 12:25 (sixteen years ago) link
No, he played drums on "Boys Keep Swinging". Worst song on "Lodger" = "DJ" (by a a country mile)
― Tom D., Friday, 8 June 2007 12:27 (sixteen years ago) link
Yes I've never liked DJ much. L

L?

I meant it was Alomar who did the guitar solo on "Look Back in Anger". I think I read he wasn't too happy to switch instruments for "Boys Keep Swinging"?
― Joe, Friday, 8 June 2007 12:29 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh right, yes, got you!

He used to be my boss and now he is a puppet dancer...
I dunno, DJ's none too shabby. I'm not sure there's really a weak track on Lodger. Could be Bowie's last album without a seriously weak track.
Any takers for the Au Pairs' cover of Repetition?

I love D.J., myself.--the funky but straight disco combo of the rhythm guitar, bass, and drums matched with the artsy weirdness of the strings and Chamberlain.

Wow...I am surprised at "Fantastic Voyage" snaggin' spot #2. I've always thought that one to be so-so relative to other tracks.

I am proud of my solitary "African Night Flight" vote.

that's the one I voted for as well, and not the first time my vote wasn't counted
