First Prize goes to Ash.........New it or googled it ?.....Be honest

Come on ... it's a Bowie song and you already dropped a Ronson reference in this thread

[lenny59]

Total respect to you then Sir

Not that many know Ronson actually joined Mott.....Was not a very long stay

Met him when Hunter Ronson played Leeds Town Hall in 1975....Very charming bloke.....such a shame he passed away so young

Loved his guitar playing .....Always complimented the song....Never dominated the song

He was a legend. Cool that you meet him ... lucky

(I have rock family tree OCD by the way !)

[lenny59]

Yes.....We had tickets and had just finished our school days for good.....So we went early to the concert.....

He came out and signed autographs......Strange coz he almost seemed more nervous than we did....Meeting a legend to us

Did you ever hear the song Hunter wrote about him after he died ? . . . Michael Piccaso .....Bloody good

Yeah I quiet liked Tin Machine

Station to Station is a brilliant album compared to many albums of that time.......But thats just the thing with Bowie....He set such a high standard with the ones I metioned earlier............BTW I quiet liked Pin-Ups as well.....Not his writing I know but made a nice change....Sorrow.....Loved that

He also wrote the hit song for one of my all time Fav bands......Leave you to work that one out amongst yourselves......Answers on a postcard

At about the same time he also produced Walk on the Wild Side, another fav song

Sorry my settings have now been changed

Yes Lou Reed Tranformer Album.......Ronson had a lot of the production in that......Bowie was everwhere at that time

Major influence then and later

He always seems contemporary... ageless

I love David Bowie, I went through a real Bowie phase in the 80's, amazing music, the laughing gnome was one of my daughters favourites when she was little

In the 80's I also liked Bauhaus, echo and the bunnymen, siouxsie and the banshees etc

They don't make 'em anymore like they used to. Maybe it has been said too many times, but it is true. Same era, different artists: Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Creedence Clearwater Revival.

These two Bowie programmes are on again tonight if anybody missed them
