Welcome! Here’s how it’s gonna work:

First, we’ll go through each David Bowie studio album from his 1967 debut all the way up to Blackstar (including the Tin Machine albums) and determine which is the best song on each album. Then, we’ll take each of those songs and pit them against each other until we find the ultimate Number One Song. Then we’ll also find the ultimate Number One Song from all his songs on movie soundtracks and otherwise non-album songs and pit all of those against each other until we find the REAL ultimate Number One Song. It’ll be a lot of fun. It’ll also take forever.

Polls start on Friday, September 22nd, and will each last for a week!

All past, present, and future brackets will be shown under the cut!

David Bowie (1967)

Winner: When I Live My Dream

Oh, beautiful baby

I was very lonely till I met you on Sunday

My passion's never-ending and I'll love you till Tuesday

David Bowie - David Bowie (Deram, 1967) - Photograph by Gerald Fearnley

The debut album everyone wants to forget about.

Believe it or not, the album was actually praised by critics when it was first released. However, Deram didn't do shit to promote it, and after recording a few rejected tracks Bowie was dropped not long after its release. Bowie ended up changing his musical style heavily after the album's failure, resulting in it sticking out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of his later works.

Of the 14 tracks on this album, "Love You till Tuesday" and "Silly Boy Blue" were the only tracks Bowie had any positive feelings towards in the years that followed. That said, the album does have its fans, mostly due to it showing Bowie's more sillier side (especially evident in "The Laughing Gnome", where he almost loses it while performing the track).

Amusingly, David Bowie's website acknowledges the album's existence. That's more than can be said for Van Halen, whose official discography omits Van Halen III.

been thinking about how tied crowley is to gay (british) culture in both the book and the show.

how his swagger is compared to famous british, gay and bisexual rockstars like freddie mercury and david bowie. how he casually calls aziraphale by a drag name reminiscent of underground gay clubs of the 1800/1900s and of pet names between gay men. the pointed comment about the police taking an interest in other's love lives when we know he was present in soho nightlight during the 1960s when raids and police harassment of gay clubs happened frequently both before and after legalisation in 1967. golden girls, a show that was beloved by the gay community because of it's positive, non-judgmental and well developed portrayal of gay characters, being his favourite show. the fact that he is clocked as gay in both the book (by shadwell) and the show (by nina).

and that's without going into how closely crowley's experiences mimic that of a gay man raised in and cast out of an insular religious community or how a/c's relationship development reflects gay rights in england as they live through it.

seeing crowley as a homosexual man adds such a complex and beautiful dimension to the character.

#good omens #crowley #ineffable husbands #good omens meta #gay british crowley means a lot to me #if you don't agree then just move on #it's not a problem #let's be kind to one another

I NEVER liked the word 'Nice' either...

“Nice is a four letter word?”...... it's such an insipid word... so bland, dull and twee! I have always been insulted when called it myself. I get why he responded this way.... he's a demon.... can you imagine how insulted he felt... if I a mere human feels insulted by the word Nice!

I made this move once, not quite so violently though. I pushed Adam Ant against the wall when he was getting panicky before going onstage for his first/ opening night of the Joe Orton play of Funeral Games 1996. I totally understood why, because I got stagefright the night The Lindsay Kemp Company's Cinderella opened at Sadlers Wells the year before .I had toured Italy and Spain no stage fright... but London and knowing Adam and other friends were out there...arrghh! Adam suddenly lost the plot, and said he couldn't go onstage, and the easiest thing to do was hold him in place against a wall, and talk him down. It worked, after he had done the quick change after his first scene , he turned around and gave me a kiss, then saying Thank you. I guess both he and I would be accused of inappropriate behaviour these days... I liked my kiss from him... and he was happy to get onstage... can you imagine if he hadn't gone onstage...?

Good Omens always feels like it was in my head all along..... as it activates so many thoughts and memories....

Makes me wonder what Good Omens 3 will trigger in my memory bank?

Funeral Games The Drill Hall, London 1996.

Not my programme, I never was one for collecting autographs in my career in Theatre.

I also got to work with Sylvester McCoy, my 2nd version of The Doctor...( the first was Colin Baker when he played Captain Hook.) 1989/90 at Brighton Dome.

B/W...Me and Lindsay Kemp in Cinderella. Photo by Barbara Spegne. Italy. 1994

Colour photo ....Kinny Gardner and me, up my stairs. Sadlers Wells dress rehearsal. Photo Richard Haughton.

Everyone went onstage in the Kemp company, my main job was Associate Designer and Costume Supervisor.

Still can not believe I was part of the same theatrical company David Bowie was once part of... but Lindsay Kemp broadened his interests, as he did with anyone who became part of the company. Bowie often said Lindsay was the reason he started it all.

The Lindsay Kemp Company was a very gay/queer company. The majority of the performers were . A few of us were straight. The company was around before it was even legal to be gay in the UK... which it was from 1967. Many of the themes were about fluid genders. The show Flowers was based on Jean Genet's book Our Lady of the Flowers. JG was in and out of prison for being gay.

Happy World Theatre Day!
