I'd not heard this until today... it's now my favourite David Bowie song.

When I Live My Dream

thanks for the link SULTAN, its intresting to see the great mans taste in music, i had the velvet underground album in the 80s and never really

liked it and gave it to a mate of mine, i really quite like it now. 

It's the Velvets album you're supposed to like, which is why Bowie listed it. On the one hand parts of the record are virtually indecipherable owing to John Cale's incompetent production, but on the other hand Andy Warhol designed the cover, so it must brilliant and, like, art and all that. Just don't try listening to it.

They made three wonderful albums once they ditched Warhol and Cale - the third one, Loaded and Live 1969 - but they never make the sort of list where you're trying to look sort of artistic like.

It's the same story where Bowie lists Syd Barrett's The Madcap Laughs. The man was a wreck when they tried to put this record together, and again the songs just stop and start, Syd forgets the words, misses chords etc. After that he got it together enough to make a second LP, Barrett, but because it's polished and memorable and a pleasure to listen to, it's never going to make this sort of list.
