So many rock and roll icons have been taken from us recently, but for me David Bowie's death was the greatest shock. However, my goodness, didn't he leave with a bang, with such a theatrical flourish! Blackstar is simply one of the best albums he ever made (and that's saying something) — dark but not hopeless, innovative and genre-busting as always.

Did you watch the David Bowie prom last night? A mixed bag but with some magnificent moments.
Cheers,

No, I didn't see it, Gail, but I'll catch up with it on iPlayer very soon.
Up to now I cant argue with nos. 1,3 and 5. Great choices.
