On This Day, May 24, 1974 …<\/span><\/p>\n

Fifty years ago today, David Bowie<\/strong> released his eighth studio album, <\/span>Diamond Dogs<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coming off the worldwide success of 1972\u2019s <\/span>Ziggy Stardust<\/span><\/em> and 1973\u2019s <\/span>Aladdin Sane<\/span><\/em>, Bowie dove into several projects, including a <\/span>Ziggy Stardust<\/span><\/em> musical and a TV production inspired by George Orwell<\/strong>\u2019s <\/span>1984<\/span><\/em>. When they all fell through, some of songs he was working on wound up on <\/span>Diamond Dogs<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The album was a commercial success for Bowie and contained the future Bowie classic \u201cRebel Rebel.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although released to mixed reviews, with some critics suggesting the album wasn\u2019t cohesive enough, <\/span>Diamond Dogs<\/span><\/em> is now\u00a0considered one of Bowie\u2019s best albums.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

One big fan of the album is rocker Lenny Kravitz<\/strong>, who tells ABC Audio that <\/span>Diamond Dogs<\/span><\/em> is \u201cjust quintessential rock\u00a0‘n’ roll.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI love David Bowie. David Bowie influenced me so much,\u201d he says. \u201cI mean, <\/span>Diamond Dogs<\/span><\/em>, such a great name. And it’s a record that I listen to a lot.\u201d\u00a0(<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
