Your ultimate 6 track Bowie mix

[BearSoFair]

Shamelessly stolen from 6 Music, I'm really enjoying seeing the mix on Twitter! I've changed my choices multiple times already but as of this moment...

1. Sound & Vision
2. Moonage Daydream
3. Soul Love
4. The Prettiest Star
5. Changes
6. Magic Dance, if it counts.

Heroes
Ziggy Stardust
Rebel Rebel
Young Americans
Golden Years
Suffragette City

I. Lady Grinning Soul

1. Time
2. Queen Bitch
3. Cracked Actor
4. Buddha of Suburbia

I could have done this list many times over...

So tricky! I’ve seen David Bowie 39 times in concert, every tour from Ziggy to Reality, his music is phenomenal, although I still cannot listen to Blackstar, too painful.

Anyway, my six

Wild Is The Wind
Survive
John, I’m Only Dancing
Hallo Spaceboy
Everyone Says Hi
Rock n Roll Suicide

Tomorrow it will be a different six, but Wild Is The Wind will be a constant. His voice on that track, sublime.

Oh this is too hard!

His vocals on this track and general arrangement is sublime

I'm listening to Space Oddity - Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed... those vocal ticks and great arrangements were always there, weren't they
