Phil writes: So, BBC Radio 2 has been celebrating the album and compiled a Top 100 list. They only included one track from each artist. Fair enough, I thought. You could vote for the No 1. I looked through and was astonished to see that Bowie was represented not by 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars' (which I would have voted for) but 'Let's Dance'!!!!!
The first is a unique, ground-breaking and incredibly influential album by a great artist at the peak of his form. The second is an example of his chameleon-like ability to do lots of styles of music whilst still being Bowie very well .
Anyway, I won't go on. Here's the whole album. Set aside just over half an hour and if by any chance you haven't sat through it before prepare to be bowled over.
