David Bowie Discography Dive (5/25)
There are many masterpieces in Bowie's discography, but "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" is my personal favourite. This is mainly due to the energic and glamorous instrumentation that is perfectly matched by Bowie's passionate and confident vocals, all nicely packaged within the albums vibrant and theatrical sound.
These 10/10 albums are some of the hardest to review for me, because I love these albums so ... read more
"Dare to Be stupid" is another solid Weird Al album that keeps the polished sound of "In 3D" while not being Consistent as that album.

There's also a lot more consistency in both the wacky and playful feel of the album and the actual track quality.
This album easily has some of Al's all time classic with the breakout hit "Eat It", which Michael Jackson would shameless steal a year before, ... read more
