I was genuinely shocked and saddened this morning.

The genius of David Bowie, for me, was the number of times he did something different, yet it was all brilliant. That is a rare achievement in any field. Even his piss take song in Extras mocking the Ricky Gervais character was a catchy and well structured piece of music!

I cannot imagine there will ever be another quite like him and it is desperately sad to lose such a class act at a comparatively young age.

Like Scotty, A Space Oddity is a favourite of mine, together with the Ziggy Stardust era (especially Star Man). That said though, I could listen to his various era albums all day.

I saw Eddie Izzard suggested that's exactly what all music stations should do on the radio today; would be a fitting tribute and would educate a number of the yoof in the world!
