David Bowies classic, dark "Diamond Dogs" resonates today amid rising political polarisation, global conflicts, mirroring the album's depiction of a fragmented and chaotic world on the brink of collapse, making its dystopian themes eerily relevant. Listen to Sweet Thing/Candidate #5albums70s5 #music

"New Skin for the Old Ceremony" is a significant evolution in Leonard Cohen's #music embracing a richer, more textured soundscape, but his lyrical intimacy remains steadfast as he transforms raw emotion into profound poetry as showcased in Chelsea Hotel #2. Its one of my #5albums70s5 #MusicSky.

Kate Bush's remarkable and original debut "The Kick Inside" redefined pop #Music and is one of my #5albums70s5. It's intensely personal and strikingly theatrical, a captivating blend of precocious poetic songwriting and mature musicality. Her vocal range and emotional delivery are breathtaking.

"Heroes" by David Bowie is a landmark album and one of my #5albums70s4. This collaboration with Eno and Robert Fripp produced by Tony Visconti is a unique soundscape that captures the tension of cold war Berlin. The iconic title track is an anthem of hope and one of my favourite songs #MusicSky.

Neil Youngs Harvest is a masterpiece and one of my #5albums70s4. Its warmth and gentle melodies in tracks like "Heart of Gold" and "Old Man," suggest peace and nature however beneath the surface lies a sense of honesty, sadness and vulnerability. Its beauty lies in its quiet moments #MusicSky

The B-52s' debut is a retro-futuristic definite for my #5albums70s3 party! 🚀 Quirky yet charming lyrics, killer harmonies & dance beats deliver a unique blend of new wave & surf rock. "Rock Lobster" and "Planet Claire" are must-listens! #TheB52s #MusicSky

Low is one of my #5albums70s3 and it reveals a fascinating experimental and minimalist approach from #Bowie. The first side features shorter, structured rock and new wave #Music. The second side is atmospheric, instrumental and uneasy. This first of the Berlin Trilogy rewards repeat listening.

Ziggy Stardust isn't just a certainty for my #5albums70s3 it also changed my life. It's dazzling fusion of glam and rock with infectious hooks, soaring #Bowie vocals, and Ronson's electrifying guitar. It captured my teenage concerns about identity and the future, giving me the courage to be myself.

I was in my early teens, just getting into Bowie, sitting in the kitchen at 2am ish listening to someone doing a Bowie show on the radio,when I heard After All and The Bewlay Brothers for the first time.
I'll never forget it.

Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" is one of my #5albums70s2. It's an unflinching portrayal of love, loss, betrayal and romantic turmoil as well as a masterpiece of songwriting and musicianship with intricate harmonies, soaring vocals, and unforgettable melodies. #MusicSky #Music

David Bowie's Hunky Dory is one of my #5albums70s2. It's a showcase of pop, folk, glam, and even a touch of cabaret.
"Changes," "Life on Mars?" "Oh! You Pretty Things,". A captivating and influential album that presents Bowie at his witty and thought-provoking best. #MusicSky #Music

David Bowie's "Station to Station" is one of my #5albums70s2 blending funk and soul influences with an experimental, krautrock sound, featuring driving rhythms and sparse, atmospheric textures. The title track is epic "The return of the Thin White Duke, Throwing darts in lovers' eyes" #MusicSky

Bob Dylan's "Desire" is a captivating journey and one of my #5albums70s1. Co-written with Jacques Levy, it blends folk, rock, and world music influences. Epic tales like "Hurricane" and "Joey" showcase Dylan's poetic genius and social commentary. A raw, experimental masterpiece #MusicSky

Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush" is one of my #5albums70s1. Raw, poetic, & deeply moving, it features classics like "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" & "Southern Man." Young's voice, both vulnerable & powerful, perfectly complements the album's introspective & socially conscious themes. #MusicSky

David Bowie's Aladdin Sane is one of my #5albums70s1 Building on the theatrics of Ziggy Stardust Bowie refines his persona with a darker edge. Driven by Ronson's searing guitar, Garson's piano and Bowie's vocals it features anthems like "Drive-In Saturday" and soundscapes like "Time" #MusicSky
