David Bowie's STATION TO STATION

At Christmas dinner, I was talking to my cousin Matt and he said Station to Station is his favorite Bowie album. Thought I would finally check it out, plus I could get high-quality versions of "Golden Years" and "TVC15" (the versions on my computer are from an old Fame and Fashion cassette, from the '80s). Should've stuck with my gut. Besides the two aforementioned songs, I kept the title track and "Stay"; the former I completely fade out at 3:20 so it's an instrumental, and the latter I only kept because I had it on a singles playlist — cool guitar riff.

I heard Bowie's drug use was at its peak during the making of this album that he had no memory of making it. Maybe that's why it's so weak. Weird how it's held in such high regard. . . .
