Definitely going to miss him. He ranks up there with the greats like Freddie Mercury that we've lost and it's rather sad. Those aren't tears....they're sweat...I swear :cry: We're losing too many greats now a days...

I tried and didn't make it through too. Too much dick on camera, lol.

Friend of mine did star rankings for his entire discography. I spent last night listening to a ton of his stuff. RIP

There's also the David Bowie Tribute station on iheart that I've been listening too. Yeah it's only playing hits but eh until the third week of this month I can't afford to screw with my budget much more. Though I seriously plan on expanding into more bowie and queen soon. I've discovered I love his version of Changes, it's awesome! And there's quite a few other tracks of his I've discovered that are pure awesomeness...missing him even more now :cry:

A hundred years from now Bowie will still be remembered.. Today's hacks won't be, thankfully!

I agree. I mean hell, even his passing on was a work of art.

I've been listening to all of Bowie's discography throughout the week. This news hit hard. Carrie Brownstein put it best when she said "It feels like we lost something monumental, as if an entire color were suddenly gone."

While others throughout the internet have put together lists of his biggest hits, I decided to put together an alternate list of fantastic songs from throughout his career that aren't as well known to the uninitiated. Enjoy and remember.

Dig Everything (1966)
Andy Warhol (1971)
Letter to Hermione (1972)
All The Madmen (1972)
Time (1973)
Win (1975)
A New Career in a New Town (1977)
Joe the Lion (1977)
African Night Flight (1979)
It's No Game (1980)
Wedding Song (1993)
We Prick You (1995)
Dead Man Walking (1997)
Something in the Air (1999)
Sunday (2002)
Stars are out Tonight (2013)
Sue (or In a Season of Crime) (2016)

I put all of the songs I mentioned in my last post into a playlist so they can be listened as a continuous mix:

This is awesome. Thanks. Any idea how the PC port compares to the DC version? I never got through the latter...
