Cosmic (and cocaine-fuelled) Americana, this is a grand and deeply affecting musical gesture by an underrated talent, formerly in the Byrds.

The loner looks unflinchingly at 60s idealism, at the Woodstock generation, at the transient nature of life and love, at the media, at the heart of men, at us... The result is music beyond being inspired. Downright haunted. Bleak yet uplifting.

A bleak, dystopian, George Orwell-inspired concept album with an impeccable flow, it contains some of Bowie's greatest music. Let's mention the excellent guitar work (all parts but one played by Bowie , who also produced the album himself).

The "Lost Weekend" album. A drunken, loutish, misbehaving, enstranged-from-Yoko, and more insecure than ever, Lennon suddenly sobers up and records this excellent and haunting collection of finely arranged songs, while keeping their intrinsic rawness thanks to his exceptionnal singing.

Loony, absurd, but with a clear musicality and, at times, sense of purpose that give it an edge.
