This CD collection contains David Bowie's most beloved songs and also some vergotten masterpieces. It's a good feeling to have this now alltogether.
David Bowie changed his style during his music career, but he always creates gorgeous stuff. He is the starman, the thin white duke and the melancholy Hero. And of course, an unique genius.
This CD collection is a great thing for fans, thos who wanna become one and peoples interested in music.

Bowie: The Platinum Collection is (rather obviously) a collection of David Bowie's greatest songs spanning almost 20 years of his fantastic and inspiring career: 1969-1987 (his better years) across 3 CDs, which is an overall impressive CV.
Disc one contains the majority of his better known hits such as the sublime "Space Oddity", "Rebel Rebel" and "Changes" as well as album tracks from 1969-74 (which, in terms of just 6 years, 20 excellent tracks is extremely impressive).
Disc two contains his greatest songs from 1974-79, which includes the cocaine-influenced "Station To Station" and the "Berlin trilogy" (Low, "Heroes" and Lodger). This disc has a particularly unique and more conceptual feel to it compared to the other 2, but it is perhaps the weakest of the three in my opinion, but still essential to the David Bowie collection-plus it contains the sheer breath-taking "Heroes" (It also includes the excellent "1984", an album track from the brilliant "Diamond Dogs" album).
Disc three is probably my personal favourite disc, it spans 1980-87, ultimately Bowie's weakest years for albums (aside from 1980's "Scary Monsters") but perhaps his strongest era for hit singles, such as "Let's Dance", "Modern Love" and "Ashes to Ashes". This CD also manages to put the minority of great album tracks and singles from perhaps the worst albums "Never Let Me Down" and "Tonight". The final track being "Labyrinth (OST)"'s "Underground" is a great finishing touch to a superb- and essential- collection of the greatest male solo artist's finest work.

Looking through my vinyl collection recently i came across my old Bowie albums,bought some 20 odd years ago.
After dusting them down i played them again on the old record player and appreciated them a lot more than i did when i was a teenager.
What i found was a real mixture of songs ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous with the album 'Heroes' being the prime example.
I know,i thought,i will treat myself to a cd collection of all David Bowie's best songs and after much deliberation choosing between the numerous collections available,this 'Platinum' collection was the obvious choice,especialy at Amazon's bargain price.
All Bowie's best work is covered here on a 3 disc set ranging from his early work of 1969 to 1974 on disc1,74 to 79 on disc 2 and disc 3 covers 1980 to 87.
Too many great tracks to pick out personal favourites and this collection easily gets a 5 stars rating.....only because it wouldn't allow me to give 10!!

only the best
Here you'll find some of the best songs ever made in rock history, in a package definitely worth getting, but I reserved the five stars, in a very strict sense, for the albums. Read more

Astonishing value for money - even with no gnomes
Having thoroughly enjoyed BBC's Life on Mars, I was finally moved to plug the hole in my music collection left by the absence of David Bowie. Read more
