Sounds quite similar but I don't know. Here's his version while I check songwriting credits.

Yeah I checked and it is a cover. Kind of unusual for the Boss to include covers on his album (I know he covered Waits' "Jersey Girl", but not on any album) - he does a lot of covers live but that's surprising to see one on one of his studio albums. Well, I feel a bit better about it now. Still a shit song, but at least he didn't write it.

[innerspaceboy]

I'm trying to work out a way to participate in this thread. I created 150 playlists, each with a central theme, mostly chronological discographic surveys of a particular artist or composer's work. Resultantly, each playlist is several hundred albums long.

There are also genre playlists, such as The Progressive-Kraut-Psych-Avant garde Rock Collection (Vols I-VIII), which is a 753-album set.

I tried pulling my root audio folder into the play queue on my server but that taxed my RAM and froze the system.

The best I can do is to share a spreadsheet I put together titled, "Innerspace Labs Large Collections and Complete Discographic Archives" which highlights the largest collections in my library. That should provide an adequate summary of my listening tastes.

Have a look here.

My god, there are... bands I know in there! Shock! And possibly also, horror!

@ GD : same for me : I was pleased to recognise various bands in your Spotify list.

I haven't dipped into many people's playlist music, but I was curious about:-

The London Boy - David Bowie (London Boys) Early Bowie number; shows the promise that was there, even if the old cockney accent is a bit strong there. Do wot? Shut it!

After the trauma of hearing The Laughing Gnome, I didn't have much hope for this song, but it was ok, really: much more of a soft ballad than I expected, but also v unusual for Bowie as it seems to be so unambiguously autobiographical.

You and I have such a different approach to acquiring/storing music, ISB - but I was pleased to see there are some artists we both like: maybe 10 times in your list, I thought, "Hey, yeah: I listen to that guy regularly too!" Thanks for that little buzz of recognition.

torres - good scare

I listened to your first rec, degrassi, but it didn't do much for me tbh. I wonder if any of the other songs have a bit more bounce, or an easy pop hook - or, you know, something that sounds totally different in every way   
____________________________________

On the same basis as my previous list,  these are songs that I remember enjoying recently:-

Tamikrest - Addektegh
The Byrds - Eight Miles High live (= how I first came to love rock jams)
Joe Strummer - Arms Aloft
Xera - Lliendes
Hamza el Din - Grandfather's Stories
World's End Girlfriend - 100 years of Choke
Flowered Up - Weekender
Built To Spill - can't remember which track stood out to me this time round
Nucleus - ditto

@Lisnaholic Early Bowie has grown on me a lot over the years honestly. It's clumsy but it's fun and whimsical. The Laughing Gnome is just grating though, so I'm with you there.

[Trollheart]

Yeah one of his early tracks, "Please Mister Grave Digger" is both disturbing and hilarious, especially as he keeps coughing to show how miserable and drab the cemetery is. I actually think it's an unrecognised classic personally.

I like that track a lot too, very unique. Little things like the rain sound effects and Bowie's little sniffly vocal inflections really add that sense of atmosphere and drama that is a bit uncomfortable and definitely compelling.

[Trollheart]

I can't remember but I think the idea behind it is that he's killed the guy being buried, and now he realises sadly that he has to kill the grave digger too. And with a runny nose! Should have taken some Night Nurse or Vicks!

I recommend any of the other songs on the playlist then

[Lisnaholic]

^ Thanks, degrassi. You're right: your other selections are very different. I enjoyed the ones by Mavi and Honey, but this grungy slow rocker was the stand-out winner for me. I'll definitely be checking out more of Big Thief soon:-

^ Yep that's certainly a curious song. I liked the mention of Lambeth: that's the London borough of Bowie's hometown turf of Brixton, both of which I used to go through on buses quite often. As you and Lexi point out, "Mister G. D." has a lot of surprising little touches, and the whole concept of the song shows that right from the start Bowie was ready to experiment with unusual ideas. Will it turn me into a fan of early Bowie ? Probably not, I'm afraid, but at least I'll be less dismissive in the future.

Nice! Big Thief got me to pick up my guitar again, they kind of reminded me of everything I love about the singer/songwriter vibe. Lots of gems to be discovered in their catalog- enjoy!

My personal favorite is this b side (for lack of a better term):

Can I just ask, since I'm now reviewing these playlists, if you could put the album the track comes from please? Save me trawling through discographies. Thanks. And if you don't, I hate you.

I can edit mine to add in the albums if you're doing mine as well just give me until tomorrow maybe
