    As an ardent fan of Bowie since Ziggy (1972), favourite Bowie songs vary from day to day. Many of his lyrics, as he states, are open to individual interpretation. Very rarely did he write linearly, therefore making the listener think a little harder. Even his music often strayed from the norm as many have said. Rick Wakeman said he was a genius in the way he'd put in a note that didn't follow what would generally be expected musically.
    Though I'm aware of most of the things here, it's great that you've laid it out so eloquently for othes to see. Thankyou and will share. You deserve many more views.

    Any chance you could do one on Jim Morrison's literary influences? Think it would make for a really interesting video

    I love Hunky Dorey and Station to Station. But in terms of songs, I would probably say Heroes, Station to Station, and Quicksand. It's really hard to say for sure. How about yourself?

    • @TheSelador

      I've been told this is controversial but I honestly think Five Years is his best song. Such a great opener.

      Songs - Aladdin sane, big brother, John I’m only dancing, right, my death and candidate. I love all his songs for different reasons. If find it hard to say I don’t have a song from all of his albums on my play list.
