#NotBaconBits - From Ziggy Stardust to...

Yesterday we played Suffragette City by Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. So what song was chosen for today's #NotBaconBits connection? You can thank @OmandOriginal for this one...

As always for #NotBaconBits, once you've listened to today's choice, we're looking for your suggestions for tomorrow's track. Join in by tweeting us your suggestions @albiemediaAM with the #NotBaconBits hashtag or adding your suggestions in the comments of our #NotBaconBits Facebook posts - remember the link can be as simple or contrived as you want, in any music genre (it doesn't have to be classical or pop) and you can link to anything about the song - the title, the artist, words in the song, something about the video ... anything as long as you can explain how you got there and show your workings. If we pick your suggestion for the next song link in the chain, you'll get the credit in that day's article and shout outs on our social networking streams.

From a spidery supergroup link from @STBwrites, suggesting Armageddon It by Def Leppard, to an influential women link from @JimJamGin, suggesting Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks, to @Wolfpaw36 suggestion for the year that saw Alice Cooper's School's Out at number one, today was set to get off to a rockin' start! However, @omandoriginal wanted something a bit more laid back from way back to start off our final week [for now - Ed] of #NotBaconBits connections:

Yes I'm mucking around with the timeline again. Much as I love the fantastic suggestions coming in, I thought it was about time we stepped away from "modern" rock and pop for at least one song in this run. So my, somewhat obvious, #NotBaconBits link [which, incidentally, also links back to The War of the Worlds, as it was played as part of the 1938 Orson Welles radio recording - Ed] is the 1928 Hoagy Carmichael song Stardust, as sung here by the inimitable Nat King Cole...
