Ya got me on a Bowie Binge Moose - sold the back wheel on my spare bicycle for £3 in 1973 - so that I could buy Bowie's 'Hunky Dory' album - and here's the best rocking number from that album -
'Queen Bitch' -
*PLAY IT LOUD!

*PLAY IT LOUD!
I first heard the Hunky Dory Lp in about 1972/1973 at a friend's home in Edinboro Pennsylvania, the first guy to share some weed with me.
Ch-ch-ch-changes... That tune stayed with me through the last (nearly) 54 years.
But Chi and pop started the binge on Bowie tonight, I think. I, like yourself apparently, simply fell into line.

But one of his more soulful and R&B (to an extent) tunes, and not entirely typical Bowie style, thus not everyone's favorite Bowie tune (though I've liked it a lot, and this live album in particular, for years) is this one.

Well thanks to Chi and pop
- Bowie - and his changes - bring back alot of memories - over the years for me - since the man ventured into so many new areas musically and artistically over some 50 years or so - here's another track from Hunky Dory - '5 Years' - more of a ballard - but very introspective - particularly in today's world -
I was just about to post that one. Great song
There are many memorable Bowie tunes that just stay in one's mind, sometimes for decades.
He had a following that looked past many things that are somewhat centered in the culture wars of today, and his talent eventually carried him through.
His guitarist from Ziggy and the Spiders, Mick Ronson, though a genius, is and was much lesser known to those who didn't follow Bowie and Dylan closely. He played on Dylan's live album, 'Hard Rain' and on many Bowie Lp's.
I had his 8-track tape 'Slaughter on 10th Ave' when I was maybe 15.
Starting off with the cover of, 'Love Me Tender'.
Just came across this last live performance of 'Life On Mars' - by Bowie - kinda sad - but he still delivers - even when obviously ill 
- and near death -

Yeah - Mick Ronson's guitar 
helped launch Bowie - towards super-stardom fer sure Moose - and here they are back in 1973 doing 'Jean Genie' - check out Woody Woodmansy's side burns - (the bass player) - now thats rad - lol

I'm a fan of Ronson. He also played piano on Lou Reeds Perfect Day which I love.
One of Bowies strengths seemed to surrounding himself with gifted musicians. I like nearly all of Bowie's bands, and eras, although didn't listen as closely to his later stuff. However Blackstar is an album that deserves more attention.
Didn't know he played with Dylan?
