David Bowie's "Low" is the most haunting album ever.
And it always comes up

Say what you will about Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Queen. For all of their theatrics - there was no there there.

David Bowie's "Low" - there is a there there, but it is a koan - because it isn't.

2. I agree , It is also my favorite album of all time
I love the layers of warm fuzzy sonic goodness of Low and the evolution of emotion throughout the Album's progression. The lyrics are more like poem verses than song lyrics.

Art Decade is likewise a remarkable piece of music.

6. Shame on you
The one on the right is clearly David Cross, and that's obviously Santa over there on the left.


I swear that joke never gets old!
