Really sad news. David Bowie is one of a few artist that my dad used to listen to, along with Bob Dylan, the Beatles, dire straits and fleetwood Mac, plus a few others.
When I was much younger, all I had to listen to were the old mans tapes. I got to my teens and suddenly dads music didn't seem so cool any more so I stopped listening to it. Why I thought happy hardcore was the way forward I don't know.
It's only now I'm older I can appreciate what excellent taste my dad had in music. His earlier stuff is my favourite but he has branched out into so much. I remember my house mate at university buying me a drum and base album he made, but the name escapes me.
