My Take

Mick Ronson is one of those musicians who absolutely deserved more of the spotlight than he ever got. Sure, David Bowie was the star, but without Ronson's slashing, melodic guitar work and those lush string arrangements on Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane, the whole Spiders from Mars era would have been a completely different — and lesser — thing. This guy from Hull could do it all: shred a riff, write a song, produce a record, map out an orchestral chart. After Bowie he kept at it with Ian Hunter and even toured with Bob Dylan, which tells you everything about how musicians quietly revered him. Losing him to liver cancer at just 46 in 1993 still stings. The quiet architect behind one of rock's greatest runs deserved decades more.
