All the albums you listed are great Bowie. The Bowie songs which I never liked, in fact I detest, are the ones that went top 40 in the U.S.: like Lets Dance, China Girl, and that awful duet with Mercury, Under Pressure. That's all atrocious stuff which was made to appeal to the lightweight American mass audience. The Brits are much more sophisticated when it comes to Rock than Americans.
That may be so, but this is a shit example. Let's Dance went to #1 in both the UK and the US and was a big hit all over the world. Modern Love, China Girl and Under Pressure were bigger hits in the UK than the US.
No, my point is that the only Bowie songs which went to the American top 40 were the pop junk. Sure, pop hits number one in Britain too. But real rock also hits the top 40 in Britain, rarely in America. What's #1 in the U.S.? Mariah Carey. What hits #1 in Britain? Ziggy Stardust! Most Americans have never heard of Ziggy Stardust.
