Looking at that list of songs Ace makes me understand why he was so popular, well done.

Algernon, thanks for this. In my humble opinion, the radio stations overplayed his songs in the wake of his death. I can listen to his music in comfort now and reflect on the 1970s. Your timing is perfect.

  The Friday after his death there was a David Bowie retrospective on Rage nothing announced just played really good stuff. I noticed the overplaying by radio stations and others. As you may know I got through the lists and pick those tunes most enjoyed and put them into a favourite playlist to play over the summer holidays Sort of a summer edition. I don’t like them to go beyond say this weekend.
  
  I felt I needed to do a tribute list but not on top and thought the first list for the year was the appropriate time (and I only finished it this week). I thought the Blackstar album was somewhat disturbing, It is clear he is dying from the images so were the two songs I picked from the album. I picked the mid 60’s to the mid 80’s. The new music probably fits with how I listen to music nowadays.
  
  Glad you enjoyed it

We remember him very fondly, Algy. When I was a pup I borrowed one of my flatmates’ specially imported Station to Station album. And put a tiny tiny scratch on it. It took months for him to get the thing and he was, well, not well-pleased. How to kill a friendship lesson #1. See – I’m still suffering remorse 40 years after….

  Oh dear, might have added a little something. Some of my favourites were his early songs as well as a lot around the mid 70’s. The Blackstar tunes are quite spooky. He would have known he was dying at the time.
