Overview

The following is a comprehensive discography of Gary Numan, a British singer and musician. Numan released his first record in 1978 as part of the outfit Tubeway Army. Initially unsuccessful, the band scored a huge hit in 1979 with the single "Are 'Friends' Electric?" and their second album Replicas, both of which reached number one in the UK. Numan then decided to release further recordings under his own name, beginning with the single "Cars" later in 1979. Both this and the subsequent album The Pleasure Principle also reached number one in the UK, and Numan became a leading force in the British electronic music scene. He scored a third number-one album in 1980 with Telekon, and more hit singles and albums until the mid-1980s, when his popularity waned. Despite this, he has continued to record and tour on a regular basis up to the present day, and has seen a resurgence in popularity and credibility in recent years. His 2017 studio album, Savage , entered the UK Albums Chart at number two, which was Numan's highest chart peak since 1980. 2021's Intruder, also entered the UK charts at number two.

Notable quotes

“Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.”
— Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See (1990)
“All right. It's instinctive. But the instinct can be fought. We're human beings with the blood of a million savage years on our hands! But we can stop it. We can admit that we're killers... but we're not going to kill today. That's all it takes! Knowing that we're not going to kill — today!”
— Capt. James T. Kirk (William Shatner) in Star Trek: The Original Series, sn 1, ep. 23: "A Taste of Armageddon" (February 23, 1967), story by Robert Hamner, teleplay by Gene L. Coon and Robert Hamner
“I do not want the voice of the people shut out.”
— Huey Long, remarks in the U.S. Senate, May 16, 1932, Congressional Record, vol. 75, p. 10,297
“Humankind has become so much one family that we cannot ensure our own prosperity except by ensuring that of everyone else. If you wish to be happy yourself, you must resign yourself to seeing others also happy.”
— Bertrand Russell, "The Science to Save Us from Science", in The New York Times (19 March 1950)
“Social science means inventing a certain brand of human we can understand.”
— Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms (2010), "The Sage, the Weak, and the Magnificent", p. 95
“In the last analysis, my fellow countrymen, as we in America would be the first to claim, a people are responsible for the acts of their government.”
— Woodrow Wilson, address, Columbus, Ohio, September 4, 1919. The Messages and Papers of Woodrow Wilson, ed. Albert Shaw, vol. 2, p. 728 (1924).
