Marion Bondage Terry Trowell No! No! Not The Purple People Eater, 1958 David Bowie - Moonage Daydream: Just about everything on The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders from Mars qualifies. Not sure what the glam god is on about here, but it sounds like he's well up for rogering (© Dennis Wheatley) his entire audience. Ultra-cosmic guitar solo from Mick Ronson at very top of his game. Hawkwind - Silver Machine: Lemmy on vocals, mysterious psychedelic space cadet Stacia on stripping plus early appearance of the Anarchy In The UK riff. What more can you ask? Tornadoes - Telstar: A joyous celebration of the satellite launch five years before Joe Meek went amphetamine psychotic and shot Mrs. Shenton. Bent Bolt & The Nuts - Mechanical Man: Precursor of Sabbaf's discarded, disgruntled Iron Man, but this one not seeking "vengeance from the grave." John Cooper Clarke - I Married A Monster From Outer Space: " It's bad enough when its inter-race, but, f**k me, a monster from outer space." OK, so ultimately it didn't work out, but, in the face of deplorable prejudice, at least the mismatched lovers gave it a go. The Five Blobs - The Blob/ From the Top of Your Guggle (to the Bottom of Your Zooch): Burt Bacharach had to start somewhere and collaborating with the Blobs was doubtless good training for duetting with Lady Gaga. Not sure if he penned follow-up 45 .... Zuggle, too, but its bloody diabolical. Pink Floyd - Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun: Life after Syd. Early hypno-trance music with spooky whispered lyrics. Nena - 99 Red Balloons: Boy & girl launch them as symbol of peace. Russians misinterpret gesture and launch pre-emptive nuclear strike. Roky Erickson & The Aliens - Creature With The Atom Brain: "Why is he acting so strange/ Do you think he's one of them?" Nuclear-driven dead men return to kill that low-down snitch District Attorney McGraw Leonard Nimoy - Music To Watch Space Girls By: The pointy-eared Vulcan is in the mood for love action. But don't worry boys and girls because ..... William Shatner - Rocket Man: ... a few seconds of the shat will soon damper his ardour. Sheb Wooley - The Purple People Eater: Lands on earth bent on doing what Purple People Eater's do, but mends his ways on exposure to rock 'n roll music. The soppy, cycloptic sack of shit. Devo - Space Junk. It fell out of the sky and caved Sally's skull in while she was out just minding her own business. Martian Dance - Twist And Shout: Because they murder it until it sounds like nothing on earth. The Shock City boppers should've been bigger than the Beatles in any case.

David Bowie - Moonage Daydream: Just about everything on The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders from Mars qualifies. Not sure what the glam god is on about here From about 12 years old on Bowie was all there was - I've come to realise l that Ronson was really pivotal in providing the guts to that great phase of music. Moonage Daydream (particularly live) is an utter rhapsody from the underrated Ronson - Next to Hendrix my favourite lead guitarist by a country mile.

He writes a sequence, cuts it up and rearranges it to create the song. William S. Burroughs revived it from the dadaist artistic school. In other words its a load of crap or alternatively hits emotional and symbolic buttons in the cortex via sublimination.
