Haven’t actually seen a copy yet, but the June issue of Q has a reader survey of what they consider to be the 100 Greatest British Albums of All-Time. DB has a healthy representation with four albums in the top 30, they are:
#30 Scary Monsters and Super Creeps
#25 The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars
#16 Hunky Dory
#14 Low
Four masterpieces I’m sure you would agree, but perhaps not in quite the order one would expect. Whatever, well done David, here’s to the time, (in the not too distant future) when Joe Public wises up enough to get four albums into the top ten!

Remember that David Bowie is the subject of ‘Cash For Questions’ in the July issue of Q, which looks like being a helluva lotta fun. Email your questions to: q@ecm.emap.com
