LIST 186 - 15/01/16 (a David Bowie tribute)

Hello there,

Very little explanation required as to what this week's List entails, though hopefully not all of the selections will prove to be blindingly obvious. 

A broad historical span of the late Mr Bowie's recorded output is represented, from the early singles (including under his birth name) to the final album, via a few personal favourites from several points in between.

There's cover versions, too (Nirvana, The Yummy Fur); samples of his work (Death Grips, DNA); material inspired by Bowie tracks (Peter Schilling, Philip Glass); and even one track penned for another performer (Oscar rather than Mott the Hoople this time, however).

Even then the selection probably hardly does the man full justice, but consider this our own small offering to the many tributes of the week.  Rest easy, David.
