Mettere mano alla vasta discografia di David Bowie per definire quale delle sue molteplici hit abbia diritto al titolo di ‘La migliore canzone del Duca Bianco’ non è opera davvero semplice.
Gli inglesi dell’NME ci hanno provato e con l’aiuto di addetti ai lavori che rispondono al nome di Thurston Moore, St. Vincent, Johnny Marr e Wild Beasts hanno messo in fila e stilato una classifica dalla prima alla quarantesima posizione.
