After a wee bit of discussion in the Ray Of Light thread, the plan is basically this: a nailed-on Moopy Classic on a Tuesday and something that stretches us a bit on a Thursday.
So, Thursday coming we're going to cue up and listen to David Bowie's now-classic 4th album "Hunky Dory".
Selling the front end of bugger all upon release, it only became a success after Bowie's Ziggy Stardust persona had propelled him to stardom and "Life On Mars?" had been such a hit that Bowie was compelled to make a video for the song 2 years after recording it.
The album is now regarded as his first true classic. The above YouTube leads into a playlist of the full 11 track album but you'll find it on spotify etc as well.
Give a try.
