Inspired by Chuck and Scarlatti depriving ITSOZ of hard won abuse by spamming his spam thread with Bowie, a Bowie appreciation thread.
Anyone who doesn't love at least one Bowie track is ignorant or deaf. Fact.
I had a friend that said she thought Bowie was wierd and his music was strange and unappealing. Then she found out some of her favourite tracks were actually by Bowie. That's the way Bowie is. If you think you can put him in a box, you're wrong. Sometimes his willingness to experiment and write songs, as he told one interviewer, "fridge-magnet" style has produced work of questionable quality, but damn, he's made so much fine music.
Here's some of my (many) favourites:
Absolute Beginners
Under Pressure (with Queen)
(May Vanilla Ice burn in hell for sampling this in a "song" not fit to lick the dirt from the original's tracks)
Heroes
(Brings back fond memories of watching "Christiana F" in a run down art cinema at the sleazy end of town as a teenager)
