Its a long way from The Thin White Duke. Music critics generally agree that Bowie sold out around this time, with Lets Dance. I suspect he just got clean.

That was basically premise of the movie "Velvet Goldmine". And they wondered why he wouldn't let them use his music in it.  |

It is vintage Bowie to my mind. I bought Reality out of curiosity (I was stuck in Byron Bay with my daughter after the festival - we missed our bus and had to wait in the park with our stuff for a few hours so time to kill) and only remember it being novel for his cover of Jonathan Richman's song "Pablo Picasso" 'He would drive down the street in his Eldorado/Girls could not resist his stare/Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole/Not like you!'
Clearly he's taken the last decade to craft a record worth the fuss.

I was really surprised to see he did a cover of Pablo Picasso!
I think my favorites of his old stuff are "Starman" and "Life on Mars".
