Diamond Dogs by David Bowie

Another radical shift, with this album opening with a sci-fi introduction and going into a dystopian narrative inspired by George Orwell’s 1984. This was Bowie’s last glam album, and has some great examples of stomping rock to enjoy with Rebel Rebel being a highlight for me. It’s not quite up to the level of the previous ones, but you get the sense that Bowie is itching to move on again, and the funky guitar on 1984 gives us a clue where he’s heading next.
