I think Bowie was at his best in the early '70s, with albums such as 'Hunky Dory', 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars' and 'Aladdin Sane'. One of my favourite singles from 'Aladdin Sane' is 'The Jean Genie'.

:clap:Great track Vienna. I think that performance was lost footage that was recently discovered, thanks to a cameraman having a copy.

In the street behind the hotel I stay in when in Berlin, close to where the Wall was built, is the Hansa Tonstudio. It's where Bowie recorded "Heroes" back in 1977. Other artists who have recorded music there are Iggy Pop, U2, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Killing Joke, and the Pixies. There's a small, low profile Italian restaurant next door with photos of many artists who have popped in for a pizza in between recording sessions. If you're a Bowie fan, it is a place you must visit and they'll let you in to the recording studio so you can soak up the atmosphere if you're nice. Even from the street, you get a sense of the significance of the place in terms of music history.

A classic Bowie track from the album 'Hunky Dory'. I'm a bit surprised it was never released as a single, just a B-side of 'Rebel Rebel' in 1974.
