David Bowie RIP

[SlimChance]

What kind of mind have you got?!

Anyway, Bowie is the number 1 cultural influence in my life bar none. That said, the amount of bollocks circulating on social media from people who never met him will soon send me to the vomitarium.

His three best songs were 1. Bewlay Brothers, 2. Drive in Saturday 3. Rock and Roll suicide. End of, discussion closed.

Giving those tunes a spin for the first time now.

Low or Hunky Dory

Listening to Hunky Dory. Quality. Who knew.

Low - discussion closed.

The Low album is what I would expect Mick Jagger deep throating David Bowie to sound like.

I like pretty much all of his stuff, but always prefered his earlier albums. Ziggy Stardust my favourite track. His eighties stuff was ok, but some of his new stuff is fantastic and has gone under the radar.

I heard this on last Saturday's 'Sounds of the Sixties'

It's from his first album 'David Bowie' released in 1967. Not heard it before and it's just fab

One of the best, if not the best, radio programmes.

Certainly is

Someone else to add to the 'dead pool' is dear Brian Matthew who's 87 and doesn't sound particularly well these days, though his rich timbre remains a joy
