Your favourite Bowie?

[HenryDorsetCase]

For me it was so close between "Life on Mars's's's'' god awful small affair and the later stuff.

Big call, but the genius of the multiple dissonances combining to give harmony in the Slow Burn get me every time.

That "Live by Request" concert is really good. He looks as if he is having a good time.

I missed the Stage tour (my Mum wouldnt let me go ) but saw Serious Moonlight.

My favourite album is Ziggy Stardust, and favourite track on it is "It ain't easy" (which I was amazed to find out earlier this year is a COVER! the original is on yoootooob its by a guy called Roy Davies (not Ray Davies)

In terms of D Bowie live albums my favourite (because its the first one I ever heard) is David Live. Its not much beloved by critics (but they can get fucked) but I love it. That version of Width of a Circle rules. Earl Slick on guitar is amazing.

The version of TVC15 of Stage is really good also.

Great thing about DB? business sense: he owns most of his own material.


not that I am a Bowie anorak or anything.

Damn this was hard because I adore his voice!! It is very distinctive and damn sexy. He gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to him!! But here are some of my favourites.

Space Oddity
Fashion
Heros
Changes
Blue Jean
Ashes to Ashes
Young Americans
Golden Years
Rebel Rebel
Dancing in the Street
China Girl
Let's Dance
Under Pressure
Life on Mars

AND HE IS FARKEN HOT TOO!!!

Mick Jagger thought so.

[Skyryder]

I saw him at Western Springs in about 1979.

What a fantastic concert...

Saw him at QEII.

I worked there at the time and had a master key that I could open up the back gate. I'll never forget the look on the coppers face as me and my wife walked past.................all as innocent as a new born babe.

Saw him at the cake tin when he was here last. Shitty night but still a good concert.

Mick Jagger thought so.

There is a pic of it so it must be true....


What man wouldn't want a mouth like Micks wrapped round his diddle.

[phred]

German version is a fave.

Yeah, I thought Low was good too, not so commercial. "I love the sound of breaking glass".

Not forgetting Aladdin Sane's Panic in Detroit.

It took me years to realise other artists existed. Can't choose as they all do it for me.

Erm, that would be me. (Now I have a smutty image in my head. Thanks a lot.)

Urban myth or not I wouldn't past either of them.

Bowie got inspiration for song lyrics by cutting newspapers up, scattering the clippings, getting wasted, and see what develops.
Classic.
The funky flow of Fame works, but I can't pick a fave.
"What you like is in the limo,
What you get is no tomorrow,
What you need, you have to borrow,................

[Genestho]

I you!!

I can't believe I forgot about THAT song (dementia is certainly creeping in me finks). If I remember rightly, that was one of the first songs I heard of his as a kid, and from then on I wanted more.

David Bowie and his suits

nothing like a sharp dressed man eh? Same, this was the song that turned me onto DB! I'm still laughing at your Jagger comment

[QUOTE=allycatz;1129396756]

Number one DB Tune would have to be 'Putting out Fire'
Heard in such movies, as Cat people, and Inglorious Basterds

Can't find the original, but here's a vid for Stirts, with yummy youthful DB Images (not to be confuzzled with BD Images )


Cat People (Putting Out The Fire) my favourite too...have the movie soundtrack LP with extended version of it. Followed by Heroes

Might have to find the Cat People Soundtrack myself!

I have Sound and Vision, playing at the mo, on my Ipod (can't find my 'Best of' Disc)

Heroes, Fame, Let's Dance, Rebel Rebel, Space Oddity, Life On Mars EDIT! Ashes to Ashes, Fashion - BEEP BEEP.

EDIT Modern Love, This is Not America, Absolute beginners...side by side. (I'm editing as I listen )

Really can't pick a favourite after Putting out the Fire!!!!
And THEN there's all the collaborations! Arrrgh!

[MacD]

I saw him at Western Springs in about 1979.

Me too...(it was December '78)

Here's something a bit different from Bowie:

[Motu]

Something earlier for me - before disco came along.My favorite Bowie album is Pin Ups - all covers.The '60's done in the '70's.I like Bowie's sax playing.

[Genestho]

One of my Favouritist Dance Tunes.....A DB - Let's Dance Remix.....

Sorry to do this....

Not all, but some yes.

No one has mentioned this Bowie classic yet!

Less well known. When I was 8 or 9 or something this was my favourite song. The YouTube version doesn't do it justice.
