David Bowie: Young Americans
I'm busting out a real oldie here, but I only listened to the album for the first time, as a whole, last week.
Two of Bowie's "Certified" hits, Young Americans and Fame book end 6 interesting tunes, 5 of his and a Beatles cover, Across the Universe.
Bowie's own tunes hold up excellently, if a bit 70s sounding, after all this time, but the Beatles' cover, I find to be a bit weaker than one has come to expect from ol' Dave.
Outside of the obvious hits, Win and Right are more than just listenable, very enjoyable even.
When your greatest hits, truly GREATEST hits, can fill up two albums easily (People like Bowie, the Stones, the Beatles), you sometimes forget about all the other work they have done.
In the end: Bust away from the usual belief that its easier to just listened to these Classic Rocker greatest hits compilation, and check out this disc. Its no Exile on Main St. (By the Stones), but its a good one. Especially if you like the older feel.
