Bowie - Blackstar (2016) & RIP David Bowie :(

[VinylGuy]

I have liked some of Lady Gaga's songs -- "Alejandro," "Telephone," "Bad Romance," "Just Dance," and especially the Stuart Price remix of "Paparrazzi." I didn't care for any of the "Born This Way" stuff, and can't recall if I've heard anything since.

I really love War on Drugs, though.

Blech. Them and The National can go straight to hell.

I am indifferent to the National, but the last War on Drugs album hits a deep spot for me (though it certainly took some time to click at that level).

Man, that album was so boring to me.

[BurtReynolds]

yeah some people just don't get War on Drugs.

Spoiler: show

[epilogue]

Okay, Burt.

Point is, she can sing, but other people write her music, which I believe has all sucked, but I couldn't say for sure.

Really? I assumed she wrote her stuff considering how she was spoken off when she 1st gained success.

[BurtReynolds]

Okay, Burt.

I'm pretty sure she does at least co-write almost all of her stuff.

I sure wish Annie Clark was doing a Bowie tribute. That's a missed opportunity.

So fucking much this.

The Fame Monster is one of the best pop records of the last 10 years.

The Fame Monster is one of the best pop records of the last 10 years.

I got halfway through Monster before quitting. Don't say I didn't try, but it's derivative garbage indistinguishable from multitudes of current and former pop queen trash, except that its somehow more safe, vapid and cynical. That's actually kind of amazing: it apes a lowest common denominator product and somehow manages to sound less authentic than a Britney Spears record. How is that even possible?

you've been had. She's Jessica Simpson in a meat dress.

Holy shit, Spotify has a dual Tiffany/Debbie Gibson Greatest Hits album. Guess what I'm listening to this evening...

You really know how to get my goat.

[VinylGuy]

I agree with Joey, if they wanted someone ¨new¨to do this, St Vincent was the right choice.
But, i would prefer someone from those years, maybe an ensemble? With Jagger, Bowie´s band from the 90s, Iggy Pop...

hmm... after further review, this isn't a close matchup. Though Debbie is a bit more consistent, Tiffany is leagues better. She's almost War-on-Drugsian compared to Gibson's boring Gaga-like trashpop.

I'll listen again to be sure.

edit: oh wait, 3 of the 5 Tiffany songs are just bad covers, not including her one hit, which is a cover. She's more of an untalented Gaga than I thought.
