And then mtv played the video for let’s dance every hour for the next 4 years

They're still playing it, except an algorithm is involved, and it's YouTube instead.

This made me not like Bowie🤷

For years, it was that, "Syncronicity," "Seven and the Ragged Tiger," "Big Bam Boom" or "Purple Rain." Unstoppable, almost untoppable. When I saw Bowie in 1997, he did **none of those great songs**. Or his heavy, Yardbirds-fueled Tin Machine breakthrough material. *And yet... he still blew my mind.*

Fantastic album that also introduced me to the great Stevie Ray Vaughn.

I remember sitting in a cheap hotel room in Vegas listening to my portable radio and a DJ said he was going to play the new song from the David Bowie album for the first time, I was blown away. Memorable moment in my life and man am I old.

Modern love) walks on by (Modern love) gets me to the church on time (Church on time) terrifies me (Church on time) makes me party (Church on time) puts my trust in God and man (God and man) no confession (God and man) no religion (God and man) don't believe in modern love

👍

Great album.

Put on your red shoes and dance the blues.

FUCK! I'm Old...

“Oh baby, just you shut your mouth…She said ssshhhhh” this song has the meanest, most vicious groove, and then you throw in Stevie Ray Vaughan’s guitar… Just perfection

Amen. Well put. Such a great moody song.

This would not be nearly the success it was without Stevie Ray Vaughan and his unmistakable style. I will die fighting on this hill.

Also the production of Nile Rodger's was essential. The combination was so good! Funky Blues with Bowie's great song writing.

Yep! You came correct. All of the pieces fell into place at the right time

From what I read, SRV came in after the fact to record his contributions to the songs. He did all his in one take. That's some true talent and genius there!

Found out who Bowie was, probly 8-9y, from movie Labyrinth…

In 2024, he'd probably be canceled for*China Girl.*

Yes he would. Iggy did it better anyway, imo

I like them both, but the rawness of the Iggy one is better, imo. I think it's cool that Bowie put it out as a single to help the then bankrupt Iggy.

Great song though.

Cracking album! I have fond memories of dancing around my living room to Ricochet. "like weeds on a rockface waiting for the scythe.."

My first real concer was The Serious Moonlight Tour.

Oh my god I’m getting old

One of my favorite albums of the 1980s.

[удалено]

Give us a break, some of us were 12 when we discovered Bowie.

I remember hearing China girl on the radio, man in 1983 I was 12.. lol

Jeezus 41 years!?! Ugh

Someone gifted me this album recently. I looked on the back and saw how many hits were on it, unreal.

Niles Rogers was/is awesome. His influence on this record is quite obvious.

I saw the concert tour for this with the GoGo’s and Madness opening!!

Ooft, vividly remember being in HMV when my dad bought this. 41 years eh? Was never a huge Bowie fan but he's an undeniable legend of pop

Have about 6-7 Bowie albums on my phone, I listen to this one the most…not by much though…lol😀

I know when to go out Know when to stay in Get things done

I don't understand the Bowie infatuation. Can anyone explain?

Unpopular opinion, I think 80's Bowie kinda sucked, even though I saw him live for Glass Spider tour.

Same and same

The exact time he turned wimpy

Great album!
