Considered "Tonight" (released in 1984) and "Never Let Me Down" (released in 1987) to be his weakest albums. Both were critically panned and led to Bowie forming the group Tin Machine in an attempt to shed his mainstream audience and reinvent himself as a creative force. Despite his low opinion of these albums, he did later choose a song from each album ("Loving the Alien" from "Tonight" and "Time Will Crawl" from "Never Let Me Down") as among his 15 favorite tracks from his own career for the 2008 compilation album "iSelect".
