Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) by David Bowie

It’s incredible to think that there were only ten years between Space Oddity and Ashes to Ashes, which brings back the Major Tom character (and also firmly established Bowie as the figurehead of the New Romantic scene). After being aware of Glam Bowie when I was young, I’d missed the Berlin years so this album was my re-introduction to him as an icon of 80s cool. However, he was already kicking back against this label with the sharply cynical Fashion.
