A few days ago, David Bowie issued a playlist of his all time favorite songs from his body of work. He has a huge string of hits for the past several decades. While those songs are over-anthologized, they don’t find their way amongst Bowie’s favorites. Perhaps, it is because he has sang those songs to death in order to please his fans. The ones he selects are the more obscure, under the radar songs, including a re-worked “Time Will Crawl” (the original coming from one of his less perfect albums Never Let Me Down). He has mentioned in an interview many years ago that he has always wanted to sabotage the Never Let Me Down songs, and, here he gets his chance. The narratives behind all the other choices are just as compelling. Bowie’s always been able to give the gift of sound and vision, and he certainly delivers with this list.
