I don't /hate/ any of 'em. At the risk of raising the heckles of ... nearly everybody here, I haven't listened to ; Tonight, NLMD, Tin Machine I, Outside, Heathen. And yes, I am a Bowie fan.

So, from my low vantage point lemme say that I can't believe any true fan would hate Space Oddity - i love it for its lyricism ( Cygnet Committee and others ) and there are some damned good tunes. He almost does Dylan better than Dylan did at the time.

It's the start of six ( including PinUps ) albums which collectively were in the British charts for umpteen weeks.

And sure, Let's Dance has low-points, but how can you /hate/ Modern Love, Let's Dance, China Girl? Yeah, Iggy did the first better, but there you go.

Ok, my two cents has run out.

all of us are in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars
