First gig I ever saw was Bowie in 1978 -- the 'Heroes' tour, Forest National in Brussels. I was 13 and my parents took me along. A couple of years earlier a schoolmate had given me a copy of the Space Oddity album -- his brother had given it to him, he didn't like it, he gave it to me. I fell in love with it and by the time I got to see him live I had all his stuff except David Live and Pin-Ups. Spent the whole gig screaming out "Rebel Rebel!", "Rebel! Rebel!" It was the last song he played. Whoah!! The Stage album was from that tour and I still get goosebumps when I see the cover with the white strip lighting behind.

I can never work out which my favourite Bowie album is so really any Top Ten would probably be 100% Dame. But that'd be boring so here's another:

The Blue Nile -- Hats
Led Zeppelin -- Led Zeppelin III
Isaac Hayes -- Shaft
Eg & Alice -- 24 Years Of Hunger
Frank Sinatra & The Red Norvo Quintet -- Live In Australia 1959
Kid Creole And The Coconuts -- Tropical Gangsters
Leonard Cohen -- I'm Your Man
Bobby Womack -- The Poet II
Lewis Taylor -- Lewis Taylor
The Eagles -- Hotel California

I'd love to take that whole 70s LA, 'beautiful & the damned' thing that Hotel California is all about and make a porn flick out of it. All white-walled mansions, the evening air in the Hollywood hills, languid Helmut Newton amazons drawing on their cigarettes, their bushy pussies getting damp, blood trickling out of their noses. Sweet.

Hi Steve
Carol King Tapestry, first LP I ever bought and still brilliant followed by
The Clash- London Calling

Good question after XMas looking at getting an IPod with the BOSE Speakers and downloading a shed load of 60s music.
What is your favorite single, mine is Pretty Flamingo Manfred Mann;
