人不可能永远一帆风顺，即使是David也不可以，接下来的几年，David有些难过，他1987年的《Never Let Me Down》第一次遭到不客气的批评（然而里面有一首很好听的歌曲《Time Will Crawl》），似乎提醒Bowie对未来痛苦岁月要有所准备。 David Bowie broke away from the mainstream pop of Tonight with 1987's Never Let Me Down, turning out a jumbled mix of loud guitar rockers and art rock experiments like the failed "Glass Spider." While it's not as consistent as Tonight, it's far more interesting, with the John Lennon homage of the title track being one of his most underrated songs.
