David Bowie

[The Merry Prankster]

Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust is where you should start

Correct answer.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Tho should be pointed out that both contain a fair amount of self-indulgent unlistenable toss...

 

[defrocked priest]

You all missed 1974's Live At The Tower Philedelphia.

 

[Pevenseagull]

don't waste money on a 'best of', buy every LP from the 70s

and then all the others, the last few have all had a few blinding songs on Survive from 'hours' and 'Everyone says Hi' from 'Heathen' spring to mind

however avoid 'Never let me down' under all circumstances - that said I had a cracking day out at wembley when he did that 'glass spider' silliness

What about some more trivia - name a certain (deceased) guitar player, who played on Bowie's 'Let's Dance'?

Stevie Ray Vaughan

What about some more trivia - name a certain (deceased) guitar player, who played on Bowie's 'Let's Dance'?

And another deceased mega-star who played guitar on the 1970 follow-up 45 to 'Space Oddity'?

Mick Ronson (deceased) played with a band in Hull, name them.

The songs 'Hang On To Yourself' and 'Moonage Daydream' were written and sung by Bowie - but what was the pseudonym he originally went under when recording them?

Bowie also played sax - what was his original saxophone made of?

When he introduced his newest album with The Spiders From Mars in Brighton at The Dome - which band was he support act for?

SRV is correctamundo, but this pub quiz is going a bit slow

Add Aladdin Sane ( the 1st album I bought ) to complete the early 70's trifecta .
