TonyGUEST
I, uh, I love this album.
TonyGUEST
Um, I'm not sure if the reason I love it so much is because I didn't realize between the Berlin trilogy and the Let's Dance album that he made such a great album in between.
TonyGUEST
So I think I was pleasantly surprised at the beginning of the season when we started talking about these albums.
TonyGUEST
So I, I really continue to enjoy this album.
SuzyHOST
Three to go.
SuzyHOST
Let's Dance was the only David Bowie solo number one not to feature which character? Ziggy Stardust, Major Tom or Aladdin Sane? Let's Dance was the only David Bowie solo number one not to feature which character?
SteveHOST
Oh, I never thought of it like that.
SuzyHOST
Did not feature, okay? Not.

SuzyHOST
She doesn't love you now if you don't know what her songs are.
SteveHOST
Ziggy.
SuzyHOST
Number eight, Let's Dance was the only David Bowie solo number one not to feature which character? Ziggy Stardust, Major Tom, or Aladdin Sane?
SteveHOST
Ziggy.
EricHOST
Uh-
DanHOST
Let's Dance.
DanHOST
[laughs]
EricHOST
Oh, yes.
DanHOST
I did.
DanHOST
I figured it was, like, a 20% chance that you wouldn't.
DanHOST
[laughs] Um, so ju- just going in now, what does that tell y- what does that do for you that this was co-produced by the Let's Dance guy?
EricHOST
Um, we'll, we'll get some, some electronic business off of our chests here-
Steve NelsonGUEST
So we have four choices here.
Steve NelsonGUEST
I think our choices are The Low End Theory, uh, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, uh, Trompe Le Monde, or [hands rapping] what's the other one? There are four albums that came out on this day.
Chuck TerharkHOST
On the same day.
Steve NelsonGUEST
On the same day.
Chuck TerharkHOST
In 1996, this is the worst half of the decade musically, obviously.
Sean McPhersonHOST
100%.
Chuck TerharkHOST
Uh, and Metallica and Beck both released albums in 1996.
Chuck TerharkHOST
If you take Metallica's album and translate it into Pig Latin, you have the title of Beck's album.
Guy PrattHOST
Oh my God.
Guy PrattHOST
And that's when you did the Let's Dance Tour, right?
Earl SlickGUEST
Yeah.
Guy PrattHOST
Uh, that, or you-
Michael WolfeHOST
It hasn't disappeared, but...
Michael WolfeHOST
The thing about this song is it came after his album Let's Dance.
Michael WolfeHOST
And Let's Dance was Bowie's pop sensation record.
Michael WolfeHOST
It was huge.
Michael WolfeHOST
Enormous singles and multiple songs, whatever.
Bill WangHOST
The great Stevie Ray Vaughan played on it.
Bill WangHOST
And the great, both of them have passed, the great David Bowie, Let's Dance album.
Bill WangHOST
Bam!
Syncin StanleyHOST
Yeah, good one.

Ian WoodsGUEST
Wow.
Ian WoodsGUEST
Very.
Ian WoodsGUEST
I didn't know whether to pick Scary Monsters or Let's Dance, and I figured, you know what? He's got...
Ian WoodsGUEST
It's such a good cross-sectional material.
Alec PalaoGUEST
it's funny, I mean, like if we would talk about Bowie generally, you know, I love everything he did pretty much up to and not including.
Alec PalaoGUEST
Let's dance.
Alec PalaoGUEST
Except, you know, the only dip I have really, funny enough, is I'm not that huge on like the first, you know, Man of Words, Man of Music or The Man Who Sold the World.
Alec PalaoGUEST
I mean, there's great songs on those albums, but I just don't like them as albums overall.
Alec PalaoGUEST
Yeah, well, I'm sorry to say I never did see him live.
Alec PalaoGUEST
Although my wife, Cindy, she went to the Cow Palace up here and saw the Thin White Duke period.
Alec PalaoGUEST
What's interesting is what she tells me is that – and this goes back to the English Elvis sort of thing – Up until Let's Dance, Bowie really was,
Mike StaxHOST
you know, fairly culty in the United States.

Mike StacksHOST
you know, fairly culty in the United States.
RobHOST
Now, Bob Clearmountain has a crazy resume.
RobHOST
He was the mixer on David Bowie's Let's Dance, on Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA.
RobHOST
He is often credited or blamed for the shotgun blast snare drum found on the mega hit Born in the USA and many others.
RobHOST
But let's not forget that he also mixed the most significant and really the objectively best track in The Clash's long career.
