"Story of Isaac," "The Partisan," "Famous Blue Raincoat," "Bird on the Wire," "Suzanne," "Dress Rehearsal Rag," "Chelsea Hotel No. 2," and "I'm Your Man," all so good.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

Reading a couple obits, I guess he didn't like it?

Its because of his strained relationship with his estranged son Seth. Seth never asked him for the right to use that song when he sailed to Catalina Island that one summer.

I think "Lady Midnight" is my ultimate favorite; but all the ones CH mentioned are excellent too.

he wanted to die...so i guess he got what he wanted. but he left behind great stuff.

Damn.

i also loved "bird on a wire"...the line "like a drunk in a midnight choir i have tried in my way to be free" is fucking gorgeous.

Maybe the "gayest" song I know / love to listen to is...Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye...by this dude. Give it a listen when you are feeling mellow & sappy.

Best musician to die in 2016 (so far)

I love David Bowie's '70s work but it's really close.

_________________

I dont want to go full Piero Scaruffi here but a lot of what made Bowie was the personality and the marketing. Some great songs? Yes. Some average songs that people pretend are great because of the way Bowie performed them? A whole helluva lot. I like Bowie but he is not half the musician or songwriter that Leonard Cohen was.

Poor Leonard Cohen, not only did he did he die but now everyone is making all his songs about a presidential election decades after those songs were written.

That goes for some eras of Bowie but not all. I wouldn't call Station to Station through Lodger, my favorite Bowie era, one of personality and marketing. I would, however, admit that he benefited greatly from Tony Visconti and Brian Eno on those albums.

He was probably like, "Buckley's version was good, but then they put it in Shrek?"
