It's great to see him back, but the hype is a bit too much. Nice tune, but that is it. Nice. I recall his reappearance when he released "Let's Dance" - at the time people were amazed that a 40 year old could be in the pop industry, and yet he is still there making music at 66. Respect! Now, less hype, and looking forward to hearing the album.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's hits include "Let's Dance", "China Girl", "Fame" and "Dancing In the Street".

I like Bowie, but couldn't this writer refer to any of his much better songs? Bowie made his name long before he did the comparatively bland "Let's Dance" and "China Girl" in the 80's; moreover, "Dancing in the Street" was just a lame cover of a Martha and the Vandellas song that he did with Mick Jagger just to screw around and make a few extra bucks.

This writer could have really been a hero (even just for one article) if they had just bothered to take their protein pills and put their helmet on.

Great point. Ashes to Ashes, Space Oddity, Life on Mars...

Nessie and Aisai,

If you've heard the new song, you'll realise why there is no point mentioning Bowie's old stuff. The new song is a poppy balad, nothing like the real good Bowie stuff. eg. Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars!

Perhaps that is true, but the sentence was

Just think there were better songs that were bigger hits for Bowie that could've been used instead.

I heard his new single the other day... oh it's not good. His voice sounds weak and the song itself is just a dirge... I don't think it was a good move releasing that... and the video is just creepy.
