If you know anything about music, you know that good songwriting IS good musicianship.

All the technical ability in the world can't help you if you don't know a hook, or the difference between a verse and a chorus and how to make the two hang together in the context of the individual song you're working on. Bowie, like a lot of legends, gets this right more than he gets it wrong.

Like pretty much any music legend, Bowie's done stuff I can really dig, and shit I wish he'd buried forever. I happen to love the Stone Temple Pilots cover of Andy Warhol, by the way. If you've not heard it, I recommend you track it down.
