When i think of the most iconic artists of the alternative world Lou Reed and David Bowie are at the top of my list. As a young guru i sat in front of my black and white 7-inch television set watching this majestic creature singing and performing like no other. Humming space oddity. Those were my fondest memories of him. Around 2014 i had an opportunity to meet him and was un-able to attend. I am devastated by this loss and wish to continue jamming out to his beats for many years to come. Which leads me to my next point...
Blackstar
The feel of the title track tells all, Bowie had nothing to hide. The crazy aura of these songs are outstanding and i cannot compare it to anything else I've heard before. Lazarus seems to be a prophecy of what is to come for him. I highly recommend this album for new and old listeners of Bowie.
This album gets a guru rating of 9.5, one of the highest ever awarded.
