[MK Shrimper]

Still listening to Bowie on the Ipod this mornin, realising how good the "less popular" songs were.

Anyone see the BBC this morning - a band of 12yr olds played The Man Who Sold The World note perfect. :thumbsup:

 

[Ricky Otto]

Moonage Daydream
Ashes to Ashes
Modern Love

Probably my top 3 but it was very hard to pick 3

 

[C C Csiders]

My top three

Heroes- Such an uplifting song

Amsterdam- Weird and Bowie at his experimental best

Boys keep swinging - Great memories of TOTS on a Friday night

Amsterdam is a cover of a Jacques Brel song - one of many great covers Bowie did too. My favourite being Wild is the Wind from the Station to Station album.

Allegedly already cremated a few hours after his death in NYC, with no friends or family members present.

Seems a bit cold if true, but single minded to the end. I imagine he wanted to avoid the limelight in death as he did in life.

Heard that at stupid o'clock this morning. I quite admire him for doing it like that. He had said his good-byes and wanted no fuss. Respect to him for doing it his way.

Ashes to Ashes.......

 

[MK Shrimper]

Listening to Black Star - very odd feeling that it's only a week old and he's no longer here.

 

[Cricko]

Can’t believe it’s been 4 years!!

I don’t care what anyone says or thinks... this is still one of my favourite videos:

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

David Bowie. I have mixed feelings, because of the way he and their Manager ripped off Mick Ronson during the coke days. Mick Ronson was absolutely clueless about money. It was well down his list of importance, and Bowie and the Manager took full advantage. During the sell out Spider from Mars tour, Mick Ronson was paid a pathetic £100 a week. Whilst the other two raked in an absolute fortune, with ticket sales, souvenirs and TV payments. Bowie shoving most up his nose with coke. Mick Ronson was a trained pianist, and could play the violin very well, alongside being a great guitarist. He arranged and co wrote a lot of the songs from that period, but it would go down as written by Bowie, who was very clued up about these things. But instead of asking to be paid for it and the royalties, he was just happy to be in the band. He saw that as his payment. He later regretted it and said how foolish he had been, when he went skint and was sofa surfing.
Bowie was a bit shocking when he dropped the drama and mime side and became a pop star. You had to watch to see what he would come up with next. Always changing outfits, clothes, style and hair styles. It's amazing that he kept working all those years right up to his death. So many great songs.

You don’t like Queen so your opinion is invalid.
