I strongly recommend the comments Tom Waits made about these albums, you can find them in http://www.theguardian.com/music/2005/m ... opandrock1

All these lists are eligible for AM. It would be great if the lists that Honorio has linked to could be transcribed to this thread.Honorio wrote:I found another list from a rock star and it's again very interesting. David Bowie published his "Confessions of a Vinyl Junkie" in Vanity Fair in 2003. As expected, Bowie's list covers a lot of ground with many different styles on it (Classical, Folk, Jazz, Blues, Reggae or Psychedelia to name a few). What was not so expected was the fact that he includes many oddities, even downright bizarre albums like the one by Florence Foster Jenkins. And also many obscure choices, I should admit that I never heard more than half of these albums. I strongly recommend you to read Bowie comments, he included some interesting record-buying memories.

As an additional list you may be interested in Bowie's 100 favourite books, another fantastic list that he published in 2013 that shows his "wide-ranging love of literature." Bowie's 100 favorite books
