    Your favourite Bowie?

    For me it was so close between "Life on Mars's's's'' god awful small affair and the later stuff.

    Big call, but the genius of the multiple dissonances combining to give harmony in the Slow Burn get me every time.

    For me it would have to be The Man Who Sold The World.

    Struth!!! That's like being asked to pick ya favourite child!!!


    But if I was pushed into a corner it would this.........."Win" the 2nd song off his 1975 album "Young Americans". An epic album of southern soul that only Bowie could pull off

    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Grew up with a lot of Bowie music and I have favourites that span the decades:

    The Jean Geanie
    Rebel Rebel
    Life on Mars
    Starman
    Heros
    Ashes to Ashes
    Let's Dance

    I am sure the order is way out, but this is how they came into my head.

    I like listening to "David Live" - dates from '74 or '75ish, live concert in Philadelphia. Brilliant performance (from Bowie and the band), and great versions of many classic Bowie songs.
    Apart from that, I really like "Heroes" and his version of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero", on his Tin Machine album, as well as "Heaven's in Here", "Under the God", and "Prisoner of Love".

    What I don't like was his contribution to "Comfortably Numb" at David Gilmour's Royal Albert Hall concert. Although there was much praise from Gilmour and others for Bowie "making the song his own", I think his voice was all wrong - too high pitched.

    His very bestest song has to be "The Laughing Gnome", eh?
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....
