One of the more overlooked Bowie albums of the 70s is Station to Station. My favorite song, "Stay", appears twice on the 1991 rerelease, including the incredible live version. "Stay" features the brilliant Carlos Alomar on guitar and features one of his best performances. On a whole, this album is often remembered, or not in Bowie's case, as the record made while David was knee deep in cocaine. But truly, the album serves as a forerunner to the Berlin trilogy as it is the first Bowie album to prominently feature synths and electronic rhythms.
