Bowie's 75Th
39 Answers
as mentioned on ITV's news earlier, today would have been David Bowie's 75th birthday, and 2 days short of the 6th anniversary of his passing. like him or not, his influence has been cast wide, not just amongst those for whom he was patron (Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, etc) but also the likes of Bauhaus, The Smiths, Joy Division and Yungblud.
a livestream event is being held today, organised by long-term Bowie band member Mike Garson. if you don't have time (or funds) for that and you feel his birthday should be marked (you may not, and that's fine....) then post your favorite track, or one that you think was notable for whatever reason.
to start - maybe not classic Bowie but a notable track, because on one level it's a funky tune, but on another level (typical Bowie) it's very much darker.

// Bowie couldnt tie EPs shoelaces together, nevermind be compared to him. //
I wouldn’t even try, there’s no comparison - both were of their time. Presley was at the height of his powers when singles were the main form of artist releases, Bowie at his height when albums were more to the fore. Presley was a terrific showman and could master most genres of music, Bowie mostly created all his own work (presley wrote very little original material). Both great but incomparable.
