David Bowie – Diamond Dogs

Description

Eighth studio album by the legendary British singer-songwriter. Originally released in 1974, it was Bowie’s first album since 1970 to not feature contributions from his backing band the Spiders from Mars – comprising Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder and Mick Woodmansey. Thematically, it is a marriage of the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell and Bowie’s own glam-tinged vision of a post-apocalyptic world. Backed by the lead single ‘Rebel Rebel’, ‘Diamond Dogs’ was a commercial success, peaking at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 5 on the US Billboard 200.
