Take it off right away. Come back to it later. To hear you describe "Sweet Thing"/"Candidate"/"Sweet Thing (reprise)" as borderline Rocky Horror just pains me no end.


They're not fucking worthy

In all fairness, in the 11 years since I wrote that, I have come to love Diamond Dogs. And I do love Bowie. :)

It's all "Kendrick Lamar this" and "Kendrick Lamar that" with him these days, give it a rest Moddie :(

Ziggy is a great pop record, has some cracking bits and I thoroughly enjoy it, but only in the same way I enjoy Sheer Heart Attack.

He's the most over-rated artist ever, to these ears. Don't worry about it mate.
