classic/10
Y'all know this is just my opinion, right? - เพลง
the first song on this album is extremely cathartic. One of bowie's most powerful songs. I find the song underrated.
Its top 5 Bowie songs for me
First song is 5 Years correct?
and you are extremely pedantic
yup !
FIIIVE YEAARS
No Mick Ronson mention? Dude deserves so much credit, criminally underrated. Moonage Daydream may be my favorite Bowie song ever and much of that is because of Ronson's guitar on it.
Teenie Weenie Mussolini yeah! Also true about many Aladdin Sane songs, like Lady Grinning Soul
Thanks to you I found out about him. From what I heard and read he is such a great guy. There is a documentary about him called Beside Bowie.
Yeah, he died WAY too soon 😔
True. He was the yin to Ziggy Stardusts Yang
That's my fav song ever
Bowie's discography is so diverse yet so consistent it's hard to pick a favorite. I mean I love Ziggy, Low, Scarry Monsters, Heathen and Blackstar but for different reasons. That's part of reasons why I love him, he's got an album for every mood :)
That's so true. For whatever mood I'm in there's always a Bowie album for it.
He dominated the 70s from space oddity to heroes.
I think pinups is really underrated
Matthew Corcoran It's not his best...
+burpie I know but people consider it to be one of his worst which it is not
The album is inspired by Kanye West. Check out that plaque above Ziggy. Take that rockheads!! Kanye inspired Bowie's greatest work
most 70s rock and rap men were very influenced by our Lord and Savior YEEZUS
Lmao oh those rockists..they'll love that!
I dont get it, i feel like im missing something
+monkeekiller20 hahaha it's funny because idiots like you will see Kanye in the media and assume his music is shit and you'll hate on him online for no reason
Loompinati confirmed
I think the fact that so many people call his death untimely despite him being fairly old is a testament to how much he was still at the forefront of music and popular culture.
69 is fairely young for a rockstar for some reason, they live the most unhealthy lives, and somehow so many of them are still alive
right i mean the average person only live likes 70 something anyway
Station to Station is forever his masterpiece in my opinion. Six tracks and Bowie croons, howls and pours his heart out on some of the most layered, soulful and funky instrumentation on a pop record. It sounds like some kind of cry for help. Most impressive of all, he was so doped on coke he couldnt even remember recording the masterpiece!
Leo Debatin There are no ‘eh’ songs on Station to Station. The only one that comes dangerously close is Wild is the Wind. But that’s it. This album is his masterpiece
every song om that album is a beautiful piece of art
@@EzioMonty117 Wild is the Wind is a cover. And it's fucking beautiful in Bowie's voice
Shame he never could remember any of it
EzioMonty117 to be fairly honest I can't really stand TVC15. I get the story behind the song, what with Iggy and all his nefarious shenanigans, but it's just, the repetitive aspect mixed with the annunciation in the song just kinda leaves me feeling strange, for lack of a better word. It just doesn't flow very well for me. Everything else is just great though. Truly an amazing little twisted work of cocaine psychosis and inspiration. In my top 5 by him.
WE GOT FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE YEEEEEEEEEEEEARS
FIIIIIIVE YEARS
STUCK ON MY EYEEEEEES
THATS AALL WE GOT
WHAAAT A SURPRISEEEEEE
Really? How long was I asleep
lol in the thumbnail you like you were missing half your head.
+Adapted I mean, if you're bald, that doesn't really matter
+Adapted what hairline
This video is made on purpose. People gave him shit for saying David Bowie's last album was good, but tnd is one of the best reviewers, especially for shutting down stupid "artists", like kanye or Swift, both of which just crave limelight.
Everyone needs to stop taking music personally.
only reason I clicked on this video tbh..
what are you on abot?
review seinfield bass line
7/10
@@moesalamander7012 yep. His take got me triggered more than ever
4/10
Keeping in mind that it was improvised, 9/10
It's trying a bit too much to get into the mainstream compared to Seinfeld OST previous works but it just has such rich and authentic production which is greatly reflected by the catchy yet organic tone.
Feeling a high 6 on this thing
I don't know why but I love the album art so much
Mrbigweeknee me too it's so good
it's that London swag
Because it predicted kanye west
Probably because Bowie’s art work is easily his weakest contribution to his career.
It has such a nostalgic feeling for some reason
Like an old memory of a night out with friends
Review Overwatch next
decent 6
Solid 5/7.
It's only skins, he didnt do any research on it.
+NoLaCkiNkiLtDaTnIkkAh you obviously haven't played the game. loot boxes only have cosmetics which do not give you an advantage. things include sprays, voice lines, player icons, skins, emotes, intros, and victory poses.
+NoLaCkiNkiLtDaTnIkkAh not buying a game simply because you "think" that the loot box system gives an advantage without even doing your research about it, is really stupid.
>>>Review Ziggy Stardust
>>>Ignore Suffragette City

somesquirrel yea cause it kinda succ
@@astora4671 one of the best David Bowie songs. Period.
@@astora4671 Dear lord are you in crack, lmao
why does no one like suffragette city? genuine question
somesquirrel it doesn’t matter where i am i *have* to shout “wham bam thank you maam” with him
WHY IS KOOKS SO UNDERRATED I HATE YOU ANTHONY :'(((
It's such a sweet song!
Great indie band.
@@zackzallie8735 did you just call David Bowie a indie band…
@@sjorlyseng7316 no.. there's a rock band called The Kooks.
Kooks is a classic representation of his appreciation for the underdog (e.g., his mentally ill brother as well as his own bold sexuality presence).
wasn't suffragette city also on this album? You didn't mention it at all
Fun fact: Suffragette City was originally offered to Mott the Hoople so that they wouldn't break up, but they didn't like it so Bowie wrote All the Young Dudes for them instead.
burpie interesting, thanks for the trivia
Femandrogyne Kim :-)
He mentioned it in his fav tracks in the description
+Excellent-C he mentioned every track as his fav
You missed your chance to say Wamthony Bamtano
WHAM BAM
THANK YOU MA’AM
To be fair, "It's David Goddamn Bowie" is a pretty underrated track.
Ziggy Stardust is an immaculate masterpiece start to finish, hands down one of my favorite albums of all time
Yes The best Album Ever ❤
It’s number 3 on my list,
1:DSOTM
2:The Doors
3:TRAFOZSATSFM
4:The Wall
5:Abbey Road
I liked Kooks, its a song written to his son and is quite self reflective and has good instrumental elements.
Gotta agree with Melon on this one, "It's David goddamn Bowie" isn't really the highlight of the album
I love the song "Kooks"...stop nerding and have a little fun why don't you.
gabelogan56 yessssssss!!!! I agree it’s a sweet love song from a father to his newborn son.
It also inspired the band name Kooks
exactly! it feels very cozy, like a roald dahl book or something
Few others would open the album with a slow ballad like Five Years. But it suits the concept so well for setting up the premise that to an average listener and to a casual listening experience it feels out of place but to someone looking to appreciate the story of Ziggy it’s perfect. And of course we get more rock bangers later on
Soul love will always be one of my Bowie favorites. “All I have is my love of love, and love is not loving” so relatable
My one problem with this album? Too many "Star"s. "Lady Stardust"? "Starman"? "Ziggy Stardust"? "Star"? Should've changed one of those, Bowie.
Kidding aside, this album is in my top 5.
David Bowie really liked space
TheGooseinator U THINK UR FUCKING FUNNY? just be FUCKING QUIET
I think that was kinda the point, though. He was always very self-aware and tongue-in-cheek
@@JamesKovacic yes, pretty sure he was like "fuck it, this one will be just 'Star"
Who the fuck is "Davie Bowie" Fantano?
+Nicely Memed My Dude (James) nicely memed my dude
I prefer david bowid.
A meme
i like david zowie more
+BlahGolem who?
I was a fan of David Bowie before he died. 1 like = 10 hipster creds
Fuck you, you are not special
What's wrong with being a fan after he's dead?

The Avalanches - Since I Left You Album Review........pwetty please.....new Avalanches record this July.
@@Soundofsilver2007 yeah it sounds like ass. Shame
@@Bandstand haven't heard a track yet but that album cover is everything but convincing to me
4 years later, avalanches are still trash
@@TheCurtainLift those words… can they really be arranged in a sentence together like that?
@@mrlevinielsen what is the draw, I dont get it. They have no redeeming qualities
I love albums like this one, where you can just put it on and every single track is great. It never gets old.
So you like good album? Me too!
@@tonypylee9808 It's a dumb obvious sentiment I guess, but albums with no bad or filler tracks are a simple pleasure.
It ain’t easy is pretty rubbish tho
@@rupertpupkin5265 I actually enjoy it ain’t easy, hang on to yourself on the other hand… the real album with no filler is aladdin sane
Wham bam thank you mam
"pleasant guitar noises"
ma'am.
Diamond Dogs is one of my favourites and really underrated album.
It was the only Bowie album from his glam era that challenged me. I was like where the fuck are the catchy hooks and riffs from ZS and AS? Then I learned it was a loosely based concept album of the classic novel 1984, and fuck me if I didn't return to it and loved every second of it.
Diamond Dogs is possibly the most criminally underrated album I have ever heard.
Daryl Mitchell Rebel Rebel is catchy and has one of the most iconic riffs ever. Album contains all the best elements of Bowie. It has a concept, catchy songs, experimentation, futuristic production: from punk raw guitar style to disco-flavoured and it all works together that it challenges you as a compelling work.
MGSV was pretty dope
Salmon Lips I set the Diamond Dogs title track as my helicopter music.
The board on the cover says "K. WEST". The first song is called Five Years. Kanye West was born 5 years and 2 days after the release of this album.
Bowie warned us.
he kneww
Or rather, Bowie passed on the torch
The album is about the world ending in five years.
Kanye West will cause the end of the world
Tomáš Klézl I
Daryl Bowie took the damn torch to his grave
I absolutely love his second self-titled album. I think that Cygnet Committee and Memories of a Free Festival deserve more attention.
This is one of Bowie's very best. Beautiful songs throughout.
Letter to hermione is gorgeous
I don't know why he doesn't like kooks. It's a beautiful love song from Bowie to his new born son. But people have opinions
oh... i adore "kooks". it's one of my favorites from bowie. One of the most sincere and carefree he has ever written
100% agree
BALD!!! BALD!!! BALD!!!!
we're all goofy goobers rock
Why do I keep thinking of Smashing Pumpkins when I watch this guy's reviews?
@@davidcopson5800 he should review siamese dream tbh
The rise and fall of Ziggthony Startano
What if david bowie is an alien and he isnt really dead. He just came to earth to blow our minds and now hes gone back to his home world.
I like kooks... but Life On Mars is the best song of all time fight me
no need to fight about that
Bigby the big boy Heroes beats every other Bowie song
fuck you go listen to station to station hehe
There's no reason to fight you, because you're blatantly wrong. Blow me.
It's not even the best song on the album
I'm GLOWING with excitement waiting for your next review, MAN!
I bought this album the day it came out. In my London bedsit, you can imagine the effect it had on me ; especially Moonage Daydream.
I remember Bowie on Top of the pops in 1972 playing starman.I was 5 and thus began my lifelong obsession with music.
T h e G e t a w a y
yes
T h e D i s s a p o i n t m e n t
Paul Jesus ( slow clap) :-|
+Paul Jesus I was expecting it to be bad so it wasn't really a disappointment lol
Still has an unfillable, Frusciante-sized hole that permeates the proceedings, but it's still vastly superior to I'm With You (which was rubbish with a few bright spots).
About twice a month, I'm just in the shower thinking about nothing and my brain's like 'I'M AN ALLIGATOR, I'M A MAMMA-PAPPA COMING FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU'
Relatable
you've been doing so many good classic reveiws lately from bowie to nas to velvet to nirvana. please keep it up❤
For me it's not like listening to any other music. He really kind of transfers emotions in his songs. Like you can basically her the emotions in his voice. It's amazing.
I like the Eno produced albums better, but this is more of a classic I guess. Low is my shit.
YASSS LOW
He actually only played, or rather, soundscaped on those albums. Tony Visconti, who also produced numerous other Bowie albums including Blackstar, produced them.
100% agreed
Eno should have produced Lodger. That's one of the only times I don't like Visconti's production
Eno were the one who saved his pathetic career actually.
My favorite album of all time. Love this explanation of the album. Quirky, funny, and profound just like the album. Thank you Zantanthony Stantano.
thanks for all these classic reviews ! appreciate it
Hunky Dory is the best Bowie album, so glad you talked about that one a little at least.
Anthony, I find your reviews to be soothing. I watch them to relax.
Keith Wahrer so do I
One of my favorite albums of all time.
It's a classic
prove it
+Jordan Hancock this video proves it lol
Toasted Memes how
+Jordan Hancock because it was really influential and many people still listen to it, I mean just look at this comment section
Black star was a truly touching album. I'll definitely be giving this and and more of his earlier work a more in depth listen soon
Five years is my go to sad song.
I love david bowie’s music from the 70s because often when you delve deep into them and maybe even research them you probably won’t be disappointed
A classic! Unforgettable and legendary album!
Indeed. In 12 months time it will say 5 years after your name!
I love how often you feature the Polaris album in the background. You should really do a retrospective on that album and the musical influences of the Adventures of Pete and Pete (I mean like Iggy Pop played a character in the show c'mon).
I like "Kooks"...
Liked the mini Hunky Dory review too, haha
Kooks sounds like something from his first album.
Quicksand is better. But Kooks was so sentimental... I couldn't help but fall for it.
I like Kooks but I hate Fill Your Heart
Kooks and quicksand are completely different songs, why are we comparing them?
My dad taught me to sing the opening of Moonage Daydream when I was really little, and told me to sing it for my mom. That's the only time I ever got away with swearing.
How can you not like Kooks you monster
Suffragette City?
I was hoping you'd do this one. Thanks!
perfect album, it's hard to pick favourites... maybe moonage daydream (especially love mick ronson's solo), soul love, star, ziggy stardust, starman, suffragette city
Lady Stardust is wonderful too
+burpie yes!
Lady Stardust is weirdly one of my favorites from the album.
I love Dan's Song 'Sunshine Bananas'
Heard it for the first time in maybe 10 years the other day and when i was younger i could not really appreciate it that much i preferred by far Hunky Dory. The other day it blew my mind and now i think it is his best album.
Loving the classic album reviews! keep it up, 'Glam'tano
This review was so influential they took "IT'S DAVID GODDAMN BOWIE" off the album.
Melon it's time you do a review of many Bowie fans' favorite album: Station to Station. Made at the peak of his cocaine addiction.
Call me crazy but that SOUNDED like a bad word about Hunky Dory and I'm not gonna stand for that.
I loved this classic album reviews, Anthony! Great fucking job!
THE ONE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR, MY FAVORITE ALBUM OF ALL TIME THANKS FANTANO
Oh come on! How can you say kooks is bad? It's the cutest thing ever.
Man don't knock Kooks; it's cheesy as all hell but it's about 10 times as sweet as it is cheesy.
this album changed my life
Excellent review. Nice deep insight. I loved the lyric analysis and I'm not much of a lyrics guy. Great job.
Not much into lyrics?! Words fail me.
@@davidcopson5800 There are a lot of people like this--especially people who play instruments. As a long time guitarist, I tend to listen to the instrumentation/melody of a song more. The vocal acts as more of another instrument to me.
Lyrics will make an impression if they're really good or really bad.
Artists that have strong lyrics, but music that doesn't match the lyrics' gravitas, does nothing for me see: Arcade Fire.
Meanwhile, I can barely understand a word of My Bloody Valentine "Loveless" and it still moves me.
Shoutout to soul love for being the first song that I've cried to
Probably a top 10 all time record for me, I love it from start to finish and some of the songs are here are some of my all time favourite songs
You must review the next Night Verses album! I think you're gonna love it. They're Post-Rock/Experimental Metal, it's right up your alley.
This Album turns 50 years old today! Good thing to know that this video was 5 YEARS ago.
Wonderful Classics Week Fantano. This record and Close To The Edge are 2 of my favourite records, and you've introduced me to The Glow Pt.2 which I love so far. BTW, what happened to the podcast episode with YMS?
audio issues i'm assuming
You weren't a fan of nirvana or Nas or patti smith?
hi
+Galhenig Guyshenig shalom
+Randy Vargas I'm a fan, just not as much
I love this album so much, there is a reason it's one of my 5 10/10 albums. It's beautifully distraught and is perfect in every way. God i love this album
Thanks for the review of Hunky Dory..my favorite of his..even more so than ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars..t rex the slider, Lou Reed Transformer..and Yes..Fragile are all big favorites as well as the first New York dolls album...
Wow takes me way back to when a young teen growing up in Seattle suburb. This girl had moved from New York. And she simply siad you Have to listen to this NOW!!. And I did over and over and over. Haven't even thought of this album in years BUT can reciet every word in every song AND in the right order
I like how in the thumbnail you’re just missing the upper half of your head
He's missing that without the thumbnail.
That Cohen shoutout hurts a little more now.
Goddamn this has been a bad year for losing musicians. Three of the greatest ever, all gone.
Do you plan on doing a classics review for Since I Left You, what with Wildflower coming out soon?
Are classic reviews a reflection of your personal favourites or more a compiling of music considered to be great by the mainstream music media that you have selected to feature? If it's the latter it would be pretty cool to see a list of your personal favourites from over the years, featuring records that you love regardless of excessive mainstream acclaim. :)
Do a Beatles classic review
Not down with the kooks slander, melon.
such a perfect album. my favourites are lady stardust, moonage daydream, rock n’ roll suicide & starman
Just noticed the Polaris record behind you - Pete & Pete for life!
Hang on, you think Kooks is bad, but you don't think Song for Bob Dylan is?
GamesPlaysWill Song for Bob Dylan is absolutely the low point of HD
GhoulToons The absolute low point of HD is Eight Line Poem. Such a boring song
@@EzioMonty117 That wasn't very tactful.
Song for Bob Dylan is great.
Tell him we’ve lost his poems
Can you do a review of 'Electric Warrior'?
Great album, right there with Low and Hunky Dory for Bowie's best. Please can you review Superunknown by Soundgarden? I'd like to hear your take on that
Someone has probably said this, but he's missing velvet goldmine, John im only dancing, and suffragette city. Obviously they weren't mentioned because theyre additional tracks (well suffragette city wasn't specifically written for this album) but it would've been nice if you gave them a quick mention
Hunky Dory is not perfect? U wot m8.
ASENBAISEN I thought that exact same thing.
ASENBAISEN It isn’t. It’s a good album and my first proper exposure to Bowie. But i think he has many better albums out there.
Station to station is
@@pavlegrebenarevic382 Bowie Is.
Please do an album review of "Low" by David Bowie.
I just noticed how much I like the way Anthony says “piano”. Like “pyano”.
can you do a bowie best to worst
Maybe an unpopular or even unthinkable opinion, but I am a big fan of the Bowie album “Never Let You Down”. I think if Tonight was never released NLYD would have seemed like a natural progression from Let’s Dance. It has good song writing and the big criticism has been the tinny sound found during that 80s era. But it has a certain charm after all these years that fits with Bowie’s discography. We all know Bowie was a pioneer of the 80s sound with his Berlin trilogy and so if anyone deserves to indulge in that aesthetic it is Bowie. So give it a listen. And I’m not talking the 2018 remix. I’m talking the 2018 remaster of the original instruments and sounds. It actually sounds really cool with a good pair of speakers/headphones. One of my most listened to Bowie albums.
Unpopular opinion but I love NLMD. Tinny production aside, it featured some solid songwriting.
Who trash talking about kooks? -____- Bowie fans prepare for war
Holy shit I just listened to this album last night and you upload this video PRAISE
This was a great review, thanks.
