Though one of rock's most influential figures, David Bowie's accomplishments are pocked by some distinct ironies. His willful efforts at being a musical and visual chameleon spurred triumphs in genres as diverse as folk, glam, new wave, and electronica. Given the dizzying range and success of his '70s incarnations--from Ziggy to the Thin White Duke to the gaunt, goth-cypher of Low and Heroes--he seemed the artist most well-equipped to weather the changing tides of taste and trend, yet saw his career essentially shrink to cult status after scoring his biggest triumphs when he reshaped the soulless, dance-oriented club music of the early '80s into his own image. This 20-track compilation does little to address the Chinese puzzle that has been Bowie's post-'85 career, but it does deliver an artistically dizzying slate of hits as it skips from one early peak to the next, from evocative cabaret ("Space Oddity," "Changes") through muscular glam-rock ("Suffragette City," "The Jean Genie") to R&B ("Young Americans," "Fame") and post-punk flirtations ("Ashes to Ashes," "Fashion") to the dance-club hits ("Let's Dance," "China Girl," "Modern Love") and '80s one-off duets ("Under Pressure" with Queen, "Dancing in the Streets" with Mick Jagger) that essentially marked the end of his superstar reign. Whole eras and at least one classic '70s album (Low) go completely unaddressed, but all of Bowie's signature hits are here, as well as Earthling's powerful, underappreciated "I'm Afraid of Americans." --Jerry McCulley

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5
1) OK but nothing great [Rating: 2 out of 5]
I'm always amazed when people proclaim the greatness of Bowie. The truth is, no matter how innovative he was at the time/now and how great his voice is(and it really is), his stuff is mostly boring and weird. That said, Ashes to ashes and Loving the Alien are two of the best tracks I've ever heard.* Preparing to be flamed for this review.2) true pop icon of the 70's and 80's [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Bought for my boyfriend, I decided to keep it myself! If you don't currently own any of David Bowie's work, this is the CD to buy as it encapsulates his whole career as a musician.3) A Very Old Friend [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I was born a Formula 1 fan. NASCAR is good, INDY IRL is good, but formula 1 Grand Prix is the ultimate form of racing. Jim Clark, the greatest drive of all time, died in a crash at the German Grand Prix on my 15th birthday April 7th 1968. Every year since then I watch the movie "Grand Prix" just to get a short glimps of him and remember. This book is a collection of memories others have of this great man.4) The title says it all ! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I was not disappointed with this collection of Bowie songs.Was very pleasantly surprised to find "Putting out Fire" fromCat People in this collection, it being one of my all time favorites.This is an absolutely wonderful catalog of his songs.5) 5 Stars for UK Version [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I have to admit that i do not own the US version of this double album. I own the U.K. version which differs in that there are 39 songs as opposed to 38 on the US double album. It is a brilliant compilation album from maybe trhe most influential artist of the seventies. The fact the he was constantly changing direction is enough to hold my admiration. Most of the songs you know so it is superfluous of me to go into deatil about them. Needless to say, I love nearly all the songs here and own all Bowie's albums of the 70s. The list below shows the songs that are unique to both versions:USA: /UK:Moonage Daydream /Oh You Pretty ThingsAll The Young Dudes /StarmanPanic in Detroit /John I'm Only DancingDJ /Drive-in SaturdayCat People (Putting Out Fire) /SorrowTime Will Crawl /Wild Is The WindUnder The God /Boys Keep SwingingThe Heart's Filthy Lesson /Loving The Alien (edit)Thursday's Child /Hallo Spaceboy (Pet Shop Boys Re3mix) /Little Wonder (on UK Disc)It is a toss up as to which album you prefer. Th UK version does seem to contain more hits as the omitted songs on the US version were top ten hits in the UK. It does seem to be a glaring omission to leave out STARMAN, JOHN I'M ONLY DANCING, LOVING THE ALIEN, BOYS KEEP SWINGING and one of my favourite Bowie covers; WILD IS THE WINDEither way, you will get a very comprehensive overview of David Boiwe's genius. These are songs I never get tired of and you could theoretically add another disc of great songs: the nine songs unique to the USA version plus songs like ROCK AND ROLL SUICIDE, STATION TO STATION, WILD EYED BOY FROM FREECLOUD, THE SUPERMEN, 1984, LOOK BACK IN ANGER, RIGHT, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, UP THE HILL BACKWARDS, QUEEN BITCH, ALADDIN SANE, VELVET GOLDMINE, BREAKING GLASS, V-2 SCHNEIDER, THE WIDTH OF A CIRCLE, KNOCK ON WOOD, LITTLE DRUMMER BOY( with Bing Crosby), WHEN THE WIND BLOWS, even part of his wonderful iterpretation of Prokofiev's PETER AND THE WOLF and others.I suppose it is the case with most Greatest Hits albums. What do you include and what do you leave off? I do have some criticisms as some tracks are edited which is a shame. I wish DIAMOND DOGS had the spoken intro. GOLDEN YEARS fades out instead of going the extra 30 seconds to close completely. "HEROES", ASHES TO ASHES, SCARY MONSTERS, FASHION, LET'S DANCE, CHINA GIRL, LOVING THE ALIEN are all edited. The worst editing job goes to YOUNG AMERICANS. It is more like a butcherd job and unlike most edited songs, you know that is hacked in a very unsubtle way for no reason. I have not heard the more recent albums to know if the more recent tracks are different. I will hopefully list all the track times soon so you can guage if they are edited or not.
