Proves that Bowie was better when he was gay. MWSTW is the pinnacle of the hard-rocking Bowie (sorry Tin Machine fans). It is on this album, that Mick Ronson invented modern hard rock lead guitar. I don't mean, "took blues guitar and put it in a rock context," "took blues guitar and made it psychedelic," "invented widdlywiddly shredding," "invented metal," or any of that. I mean, invented modern hard rock lead guitar.
