Continuing a countdown of my favorite albums of 1976…
#3 – Station to Station – David Bowie
It turns out I’ve done deep dives on quite a few artists who released albums in 1976. And I’m going to cover most of those records in a single post in a week or so.
But one of those deep dive albums stood out enough to warrant placement in this top five, and that’s David Bowie’s Station to Station.
I’m starting to sound like a broken record here, but David Bowie’s next album came out just nine months after Young Americans — who the hell can claim such a streak of uninterrupted brilliance right out of the gate?
Station to Station, released in early 1976, served as a transition between the soul music of Young Americans and the “Berlin period” to come. I knew nothing about this album before diving into Bowie’s catalog but it wound up emerging as one of my favorites.
