This is how Paul McCartney reacted when Keith Moon asked to be in The Beatles
It will come as little surprise that the great David Bowie had a vastly eclectic record collection.
The singer, who was long famed for his eclectic styles and complete commitment to his role as an artist, was always quick to point out his contemporaries who challenged him to complete his best work.
Way back in 2003 the Thin White Duke decided to rake through his 2,500 vinyl record collection to pick out some of his favourite numbers while in conversation with Vanity Fair.
In doing so, Bowie managed to name his top 25 records of all time. Among the list, there are shout outs for the likes for Robert Wyatt, John Lee Hooker, Toots & The Maytals, The Fugs and many more. “There is really no way to do a list of my favourite albums with any rationality. I do only have about 2,500 vinyl,” Bowie said a the time of naming his list.
