I think it is because of Nirvana's cover version, which is on the "MTV- Unplugged" album. I have found that this is the frame of reference most people have for Bowie's version. "Ziggy," "Hunky Dory," and the Berlin Trilogy are my favorites, but it's interesting that you bring up "Earthling." While I wouldn't personally group it with his best work, I do think it is vastly underrated. I've always wondered what that album might have sounded like without the then-trendy Jungle rhythmic affects, which tended to obscure some of the songs and that now date the album a bit. Definitely top 5 in Bowie's post-RCA career.voixautrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11109534987997144240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601536791094593042.post-79502059442073153382011-07-03T08:18:11.515-07:002011-07-03T08:18:11.515-07:00I had 'Man of Words..' and a 'Best Of&...I had 'Man of Words..' and a 'Best Of' but it was my wife who forced me to REALLY appreciate Bowie. Although I'm sorry to admit that I'm not a fan of 'Ziggy..' or 'Young Americans', I really latched onto "man Who Sold..". It, along with 'Earthling' are my absolute favorite Bowie albums and I remember thinking that this album sort of invented Heavy Metal and Goth and I always wondered why the only song represented on all the comps. was the title track, which is the least interesting song on the album. <br /><br />I already have most of his albums, so I don't need this one from you but I HAD to comment on your spot on review of this great album. The 'Best of' Comps. don't encourage anyone to investigate this album, so word of mouth is important here. I just wondered if you have as high an opinion on 'Earthling' as I have?

I'm surprised to see this one here. I think it's an excellent album but I thought I'd be seeing Ziggy first. What do I know, eh?<br /><br />I'll be off-line for a month and a half. I got suckered into an archeological excavation so I'll be sleeping on the ground and staring at dirt for a while. Thank God for iPods.<br /><br />I thought I'd drop you a line and let you know that I will return. I know how much you like your followers.<br /><br />I really enjoyed Wappinschaw.
