David Bowie - "Changesonebowie" (1976) - RCA

Hello Friends,

We know that this is a 'greatest hits' album but who cares?  We were in a David Bowie mood tonight so we dropped this LP on the turntable and rocked out with our androgynous c*cks out!  Figuratively speaking, of course.

This was Bowie's first (of many) "Greatest Hits" collections.  Featuring songs like, "Space Oddity", "Ziggy Stardust", "Suffragette City", "Diamond Dogs", "Rebel Rebel", "Young Americans"... et cetera.  Even in 1976-- just preceding his ground-breaking "Berlin trilogy" of albums-- it must have been hard to narrow his "best" songs down to a single record.

FUN FACT: Hey kids, did you know that the black & white photo that graces the cover of this LP was taken by Tom Kelley, an American photographer who took tons and tons of celebrity photos including iconic nude photos of Marilyn Monroe featured in Playboy Magazine's inaugural issue!  Nice!

RATING: 5 screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdos out of 5
