#BowieInfluence6Music - what should be on the ultimate Bowie influence playlist?

Tom and the audience build a playlist built on Bowie's lasting influence on music.

Tom with the help of the audience build a playlist around the songs by bands and artists that Bowie influenced, past and present.

On what would have been Bowie's 70th birthday, and a few days before the year anniversary of his death last year, we compile a playlist around the influence of the late music, fashion and cultural icon, but what should be on it? There are so many places to go, and 2 hours isn't nearly enough, but his music, to image, to his androgyny, to his ever changing style, not just musically but visually as well, his theatricality...his influence from the 1960's to now to the future was huge, the playlist will reflect this.

Get your best Bowie influenced song suggestions to Tom via the hashtag #BowieInfluence6Music to help create the playlist or email nowplaying@bbc.co.uk.
