I imagine it will be Zep and Bowie with ease here but I've gone for Bowie and De La Soul. 

 

I remember being at a mates BBQ and he is a big drum & bass fan (utter shite) but had a load of decent vinyl. I'd had enough of his racket so went and put a De La Soul record on, the garden was bouncing. Great day that.

Debate you fuckers. 

 

What would win Ziggy or Zep?

I'm voting blind (deaf?) on this one, because I won't get a chance to listen to them properly until after the deadline for this group. Deja Vu and Ziggy are both masterpieces though, so I'm going for them.

 

I may have mentioned elsewhere that the word "there" in Country Girl on Deja Vu is one of my favourite recorded sounds ever.

Crosby, Soul, Zep & Zig.

[Harry's Lad]

Led Zep IV and Ziggy Stardust for me, but if this was the final I'd vote Ziggy.

I haven't heard Deja Vu in donkeys and 3 ft High and Rising I haven't heard at all.

[Mook]

I like all four.

 

Three Feet High was No.2 on the playlist behind The Stone Roses for about a year in our house. Having said that, I haven't listened to it for about 28 years now.

 

Deja Vu is an amazing album.

 

I'd have Bowie at No.2 out of the four & Zeppelin way out in front with a pretty much perfect album.

[Pidge]

De La Soul is my first choice here, but looks stranded at the back.

 

Should at least be going to the album Europa.

[mgw100]

It's actually quite tough to decide. Specific albums are mood based. I really like all 4

[mgw100]

I went zep and del la soul.

The ziggy period totally goes over my head. I don’t get it? Star man is nauseating and grow some fucking eyebrows.

Its no Hunky Dory 

[ZonkoVille77]

Gone for Led Zep and Bowie. 

 

I really like Deja Vu, probably one of my favourite albums but the 2 above are just brilliant. 

 

No opinion on De La Soul's album - been years since I heard it and couldn't tell you a thing about it now.

Starman neg. Eyebrows? I bet you’ve got pubes for nasal hair, you cloth-eared wally.

Isn't this what made him, apparently he has had flop after flop before that, commercially. If it wasn't for glam rock which finally provided the environment in which to market him to wider audience, his career may have played out differently. Bowie may have ended up an obscure  cult hero rediscovered by NME in 1988.

Yes, before everything was 'The Laughing Gnome'

 

Deserved to go the way of the dinosaurs just for this shite...

Where would that leave Lou and Iggy?

@SasaS

 

Erm, Space Oddity and Hunky Dory were flops?

Going full Code here, but Hunky Dory peaked at number 3 in the UK albums chart.

[Mook]

The Man Who Sold The World is an amazing album too. Not sure how it done in the charts but it certainly stands the test of time.

'The Idiot', produced by Reed, would have been a four album experimental 'experience' of the sound of an angle grinder on a range of hard surfaces whlst Iggy reads the Bhagavad Gita backwards in the original sanskrit.

 

Still preferable to 'Metal Machine'

MELODY MAKER - "SasaS in Bowie shocker!"

[SasaS]

Ziggy is his fifth album. First two went completely unnoticed and others were not commercial successes, not even close to what he enjoyed later. He has already been trying for almost ten years to make it big and watched people like Page and Bolan do it. Read some biographies people.
