Young Americans by David Bowie

Even in 1975, America wasn’t quite ready for an androgynous alien with wonky teeth, so Bowie transformed again into a matinee idol and took his love of American soul music into the studio with Luther Vandross and Carlos Alomar to produce this great album. We also get a great cover of Across the Universe and a sharply observed collaboration with John Lennon on the final track that once more points to where we are heading next, warning about the poisonous effects of fame and celebrity.
