Today is the 67th birthday of my hero David Bowie. It was exactly a year ago that Bowie broke his near-decade long silence to reveal the news that he was releasing a new album. 'The Next Day' still sounds fantastic now, and no doubt will still sound amazing in decades to come, like many of his other records. In case you missed it, for God Is In The TV's 'Bowie Month' that took place last March, I wrote a heartfelt tribute to the legend entitled 'What Bowie Means To Me'. That can be read HERE. Also, sick of all the various 'Greatest Hits' compilations that miss out so many of his best tracks, I put together six of my very own 'Best Of Bowie' compilations, which can be listened to HERE.
In the meantime, here's one of the finest tracks from the landmark album 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars', one that never seems to get played on those 'classic rock' stations, even though it should. Truly electrifying...
