Albums - that often get overlooked...Part 2-Station to Station-David Bowie



Artist : David Bowie
title : Station To Station
year : 1976
"Station to Station"
"Golden Years"
"Word on a Wing"
"TVC 15"
"Stay"
"Wild Is the Wind"
The album before the berlin trilogy of low, heroes and the lodger'. Station to Station I would class as his most overlooked album, it doesnt feature many tracks(7 if i recall). the album starts with the title track and features 'golden Years', 'Stay'.
I think its such a natural progression from his earlier albums to the trilogy that it seems to get overlooked or scarcely mentioned, also featured 'Wild is the wind'. I think the album was originally intended to be a soundtrack album to accompany the 'man who fell to earth ' film however it was shelved. I suppose the mid 70s were a hard time for Bowie, who's Diamond Dogs album (which was based on george orwells 1984) was also shelved.

Station to Station is a brilliant album.
