Best of David Bowie: The Glam Years
Apple Music
David Bowie's early ‘70s hits strut and preen, their literate lyrics and waspish asides made giddy with musical invention, brutishly melodic guitar riffs, and tough bass. This mix of extremes, filtered through his theatrically androgynous alien persona, placed him halfway between the subversive pop craft of The Velvet Underground and the monolithic rock of The Stooges.
