David Bowie at his absolute best - Heroes

Our Heroes are the Ukrainian men and women standing against The Wall.

And the guns, the guns shot above our heads. And we kissed as though nothing could fall.
And the Shame, it fell on the other side. We can beat them - for ever and ever.
We can be Heroes, just for one day. What you say?

we can be heroes

The whole crazy hard rock-ish, proto-punk-ish era from The Man Who Sold the World through Aladdin Sane with the help of Mick Ronson was great. I think his creativity dulled after that though, maybe some of his personal demons got to him.
