I was one of the few people willing to admit to liking Tin Machine when it came out, and I stand by it. Apparently part of the whole "concept" was that Bowie wasn't allowed to do second drafts on the lyrics, which...explains a lot. But holy hell Gabrels + the Sales brothers were an amazing backing band, and it kinda prefigured grunge albeit filtered through a lot of Bowieosity.

And yeah: his later-day output was seriously underrated.
