The late great artistic genius DAVID BOWIE released his 13th album LODGER today
40 years ago, on 17 May 1979. The third LP of the so-called Berlin Trilogy (the other two
being Low & Heroes), although it was recorded in Switzerland and New York City with the well-known tandem Brian Eno / Tony Visconti.

It wasn’t as experimental as the other two longplayers but still is one of Bowie most complete and solid achievements of his overwhelming canon. Lead single ‘Boys Keep Swinging‘ peaked at #7 on the UK single chart…

Fun facts to know: one of Oasis biggest moments, their 1996 No 1 hit ‘Don’t Look Back
In Anger‘ referred to Lodger‘s track ‘Look Back in Anger’ and Blur used the same chord sequence as the Lodger‘s impressive opening track ‘Fantastic Voyage‘ and ‘Boys Keep Swinging‘ in their 1997 single ‘M.O.R.‘
