  1. Where is “Jump They Say”? The meaning behind that song makes me so sad.

  2. No ‘Five Years’. To my mind, that song would fit better on another playlist, probably called “Bowie’s Apocalypse”. I personally would include for instance Diamond Dogs, We Are Hungry Men, Big Brother, Cygnet Committee, Saviour Machine, Panic In Detroit, Sons of the Silent Age, Sense Of Doubt, Warszawa, Fantastic Voyage, It’s No Game… and others.

  3. And I ain’t got the power anymore. NO I ain’t got the power anymore!
