Not as far as I know. I think I've listened to his entire discography at least once, but I don't think I ever go back to anything after Heroes (I do admit Let's Dance is a good album, it's just not my thing).WildGorillaMan wrote:Serious question, has he done anything worth listening to since 1983?

Not really. That 'Jazzin for Blue Jean' shit that followed the 'Let's Dance' album was pretty weak, and then all the critics turned against him when he "sold out" with the Glass Spider tour.WildGorillaMan wrote:Serious question, has he done anything worth listening to since 1983?

Many times you may be right. Rush is a notable exception. Clockwork Angels is a terrific CD.tzg wrote:Yeah, see, the problem is that you kept listening to his new stuff. You just can't listen after a pop musicians 20th year of music - even 10 is pushing it very hard. The only exception is somebody who's making the same sort of stuff, where the sound stays the same, it just gets deeper. I'm thinking of Cash here. But, then, I probably wouldn't listen to anything he came up with himself at that point.

"Lost Highway" was a very cool movie and Bowie added to the creepyness. "Heart's filthy lesson" is also good.

Out of the last thirty years of his output that's a pretty disappointing ratio.Chessman wrote:[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aepBpZ3kXek[/youtube]WildGorillaMan wrote:Serious question, has he done anything worth listening to since 1983?

FUCKING A RIGHT! I would almost call it their Magnum Opus. The comming together of all their years, skill and life into a single statement.
"The Garden" will be played at my funeral before the torch hits the pyre.
Back to Bowie. I love his older shit.

I will reserve judgement till I hear it but I will be shocked if it is good as the old stuff. Meanwhile if you like older Bowie check out the Divine Fits (Side project of Brit Daniels of Spoon). Not that it sounds like Bowie but the pop sensibility is def. there.
