The chameleon of rock David Jones aka David Bowie!

Any Ziggy fans amongst you Bunkerites?

Concurring. Big fan of Bowie's early stuff but after that he was only good in parts.

Indeed, a true music revolutionary. Arguably the most innovative musician in history.

Besides, no former new romantic could not like Bowie.

Liked him, more so the early obscure stuff like TVC15 and The Laughing Gnome. Went to see him at Roker Park in the mid 80's but it lashed down and he had to perform a scaled down version of his Spiders set for safety reasons.

"I was walking down the high street.......

i liked him in labyrynth

I was at Roker Park to see the Glass Spider gig and thought
Bowie really adhered himself to the crowd when appearing late
on stage and welcomed everyone with "Good Evening Newcaaaastle"
The Man Fell To Earth from there on!

Also saw him at The Mayfair with Tin Machine (it was Nov 5th Pools were at home
v West Brom I think twas 0-0 correct me if I'm wrong please Mad John) was great to be
so close to such a rock icon but I'm afraid it seemed like a cacophony of noize to me!

Great early stuff and certainly innovative! I like him and is screaming out for a resurgence
of summat special!

Peter Frampton of wah wah whaaaaa whaaaa fame played lead guitar at Roker Park gig
by the way and was class!

Seen him in Nottingham about 95/96 ish at Rock City. It was an amazing experience. Bowie did a understated tour to very small venues, in this case it was one of the smaller rooms at Rock City. 150 people in the room to see Mr B with a guitar and no one else other than his lass on stage and she was only watching.

Yeh remember the Newcastle gaff, although my attention was rather split that day as I'd gone with two gorgeous bit's of strumpet from Wolviston..............droooooooooooool.

I know but.....................Kate Bush.................

Still say PK's version of Jean Genie is best like!
Watta Glamtastic Megamix!

Shirley Bassey's 73 today. Now her rendition of the theme to Goldfinger is a classic.

Not sure if I prefer that or Diamonds are forever.

And of course that all time great Hey Big Spender.

In 1970 she released the album Something, which showed a new Bassey style, a shift from traditional pop to more contemporary songs and arrangements though she never completely abandoned what had been her forte, standards, show tunes, and torch songs.
