David Bowie – Fame and Fashion (1984): David Bowie is among the most daring rock musicians throughout his career, and he regularly reinvented himself over the years. Fame and Fashion collects many though not all of his early hits (the album title combines the names of two of them) and other well-known songs, bookended by his first hit “Space Oddity” (from 1969) – with the song title being adapted from that of the landmark science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey – and “Ashes to Ashes” that both reference a recurring character in his work, Major Tom – he is also mentioned on Bowie’s final album Blackstar (2016).
