      I love Bowie, and Davies is in my top 5 artists of all time. That being said, he definitely made bad songs. He made entire bad albums. Even being generous, he has his really out there material.

    • @terrythekittieful
      @terrythekittieful 3 роки тому +5

      It's rare to get two British icons together on stage. I mean they don't get much bigger than Bowie, you can count on one hand who is bigger and Ray Davies has gradually over the decades received the accolades to comfirm him in the top five British songwriters of all time and David did a great version of Ray's'Where Have all the good Times gone' back in the mid 70's.

At the end of show, i was shown the door that lead out into the parking lot! I got a kiss and and a guitar pick, 1981 or 2? Amazing! Lucky girl ME!

      I don't know if this is the greatest British single ever written. Or even the greatest Kinks song ever written as it would be hard to find a terrible Kinks song. They had so many great songs, especially the songs that had some social relevance. I am quite partial to celluloid heroes.

    Bowie likewise, but I nearly got to see his last 'Ziggy' gig at Havvaspliff Odeon only to be told that it was sold out when I was third in line from the front of the queue.
