2nd best album is Diamond Dogs. Mick Ronson era = Beethoven's 5th, pinnacle, but Mick didn't play on DD. Fun fact, Rick Wakeman of YES was used in the recording of Hunky Dory.

Way prefer the live versions of the tunes from this album I have to say. The soundtrack Spiders from Mars album and a live album from Santa Monica really make the tunes come to life. Mick Ronson was a killer guitar player. Really underrated..
A great collection of songs though....

I bought the Santa Monica bootleg when it came out. 2 UK Pounds at the time. That was a fantastic recording. USD $5.50 it shows on the later CD cover release for a concert ticket. October 20, 1972.
Mick Ronson’s CV is impressive. I’m not sure that he ever really received the credit (and financially for same) that he should have for music arrangements during his Bowie era. A talent gone far too soon.

The amount of credit he should get for his work on Lou Reed's Transformer has always gone woefully unnoticed. He @#$%& kills on that album, as he does on all albums. He was great with Dylan on the Rolling Thunder Tour too. Dude played with Bowie, Reed, Dylan...
