Also going the worst album route.
Punch Brothers - All Ashore
And it’s not a bad album. After four albums of solid development between release this was the first one that didn’t feel like it added anything to their lexicon.

Nadsat. A fictional slang language Anthony Burgess created for his novel A Clockwork Orange. Bowie made use of these words throughout his career, especially in Girl Loves Me
Play something with made up or unintelligible lyrics or vocals
Not quite what the prompt asked for, but fitting either way and a good reason to spin this.

I saw SRV only once... as support act for Huey Lewis! Such a strange pairing, but I am so thankful that I saw him.

Play the worst song by your favourite artist
The National "Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers" - I happen to enjoy Sugar Wife, it's a fine song that gets a lot of hate for some reason! Look the first two albums are inconsistent and I love them for that...I could have played the new record, which I like but have issues with a few songs off that!!!

Day 16
June 16, 1962 - David Jones’ first live performance, playing saxophone with the Konrads
Play a “first”
Gordon Downie – Coke Machine Glow: Songwriters' Cabal (20th Anniversary Edition)
First solo outing from The Tragically Hip frontman and national treasure of the hinterlands, Gord Downie.
22 years ago a 21-year-old (then) non-Tragically Hip-liking me picked up the CD/book combo special edition at cost ($12-ish) from my job at HMV. Despite not being a fan of The Hip, I loved this quirky collection - especially "Nothing But Heartache In Your Social Life," which also provided the title to my good friend's unfinished first feature film attempt (Falling Off The Map) a couple of years later.

Oh! You Pretty Things had its first live performance at Glastonbury Fayre on June 23 1971.
Play something “live”
Betcha there's never been a better time for bootleg Bowie...
David Bowie - Serious Moonlight In Gothenburg

Mime - Bowie was hired to go on tour with T-Rex as their opening act. As a mime.
Play a not so great career choice
The Firm was just ok, and Outrider qualifies as not so great. But the bigger issue I had was the tour for this album. Page was a sweating, drooling, uninspiring mess of a performer.
All that being said, I'd really love a late career album from him.

Sun Kil Moon - Benji
This was his last great album, where he started to show just a little of that oversharing and speak-singing but wasn’t yet obnoxious. He went all in with that stuff after this. Being a total a-hole has also not been a great career choice.

Play a “first”
The first Galactic album, the first album that I got from Tipitina's that convinced me this was going to be a special kind of club, and the first album most people I know got exposed to Bayou Funk out in Colorado. They put on some killer shows out there back in the late 90s/early 00s. Would love to see them again.

We were all drunk on Rainier beers but I believe I’m one of the guys in the back by the sound guy

I’m going to steal @threesunrises’s idea of playing a first concert. Mine was Toad The Wet Sprocket in 1995. Love Battery and Green Apple Quickstep opened for them

Isolar I and II were the names of the StationToStation and Stage tours. It also is an anagram of sailor, which was Bowie’s screen name on BowieNet.
Play a puzzle.
J Dilla - Donuts
Sampling is like taking pieces from different puzzles and putting them together to make a new image, and J Dilla was undeniably one of the masters. (I'm reusing an older photo, which includes the excellent J Dilla biography.)
