David Bowie

For those of you who don't know David Bowie passed away during the week, condolences to his family and friends. As a fan I hope he enjoyed his final days as much as he enjoyed the rest of his life. I've had the music and albums playing all week and to celebrate Davids career here's my top 10 David Bowie tracks;

10 Magic Dance, the first time I saw David was in Labyrinth which included this memorable song...

9 Blue Jean, David at his catchiest.

8 Absolute Beginners, the title track from the film of the same name a rather underrated track in this bloggers opinion.

7 Under Pressure the classic collaboration with Queen...

6 Life on Mars, an amazing stand out moment from David and a song that became further enriched by the TV series of the same name.

5 Golden Years, perhaps the most well known track from the 'plastic soul' era.

 4 Underground, the main song from Labyrinth and for my generation the song most associated with David, revisiting the 'plastic soul' era with added venom.

3 Hallo Spaceboy, David teams up with another of my favourite acts with an electric result.

2 Young Americans, the funkier side of Davids journey into soul.

1. Heroes, David Bowie and Brian Eno, this isn't a song its solid sound carved out of granite.
