Which Bowies song(s) are getting you most at the moment?
Radio 6 was virtually non-stop yesterday with Bowie tracks and a lot today. Where Are We Now? seems almost predictably painful moving especially as a lot of us suspected at the time that that was in fact a kind of goodbye note. @Deijavoo mentioned that the upbeat songs were getting to him.
Kooks was playing at the birth of both our sons and Modern Love was our wedding song so both have strong emotional connections. That said it is Heroes that currently leaves me absolutely choked. Like so much of his stuff it has always meant a lot to me but it kind of seems like the greatest message he ever gave (and left) for oddballs and outsiders and kind of epitomises his importance to lives and culture beyond music alone.

^ LOL made me smile. The boys like Saturday film and sweet night and we've all agreed that Labyrinth is the obvious choice for this week.
'The Idiot' was my go-to yesterday... definitely 'Mass Production'.
But aside from that 'Diamond Dogs' (title track, and 'Candidate')...
Space Oddity - or Major Tom as my four year old daughter calls it. We've been playing that together for the past few weeks coincidently. She sings I play.

Football is rubbish.
To be fair, it often did - one of those pieces of music that's hard-wired to the soul for me.
I listened to a lot of radio on Monday (I was driving all over the place) - it was the best day of music I can remember. An astonishing body of work....
I personally think it's his finest work. Don't expect many to agree with me, but for what I like about David Bowie, this encapsulates it perfectly.

I was totally into the This White Duke era stuff too (and quite liked Tin Machine, I know that makes me a minority oddball)

Blackstar is my favourite of his later output by far, only time will tell how it fits into his legacy.
Like many, Heroes (song and album) is probably the one I'm most emotionally connected to. Spent a lot of time with that album.
