He's an odd fellow isn't here. I always liken Bowie to a cross between Jeremy Irons and one of those humanoid type things that you got in the older Dr Who episodes. Bowie continues to sell music and has a staunchly loyal fanbase. This best of album is spread over two discs, with nineteen songs on disc one and twenty on the second disc. We begin with the blissful 'Space Oddity' which lives up to its name. Bowie's vocals are other-worldy and the melody is haunting and atmospheric. It cements his appeal as part heartthrob and part weirdo. More of the same can be found on 'Starman' which again sounds so futuristic with neon bright vocals and a dazzling chorus ...  Read the complete review

David Bowie is one of the most influential artists the UK has ever produced and this well-chosen selection paints a vivid picture of his importance to modern music in general.

It is metalic and haunting and like Bowie very wierd, But like some of the other songs on the album i feel it is the type of music that you can have in the back ground and also ...  Read the complete review

There have been many artists that the U.K. has produced that have become worldwide legends. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath etc. etc. but even in those there were faults. The Beatles split and two of them died. Led's drummer passed away and Sabbath fell apart in it's own right. But where all these failed David Bowie succeeded as not only a unbelievable song writer and rock artist (among other things) but he also managed to keep all his music successful. He was a performer giving the world the likes of Ziggy Stardust and The Thin White Duke. This CD captures all of those moments starting from his second album and major hit Space Oddity spanning all the ...  Read the complete review
