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.

Struth!!! That's like being asked to pick ya favourite child!!!
But if I was pushed into a corner it would this.........."Win" the 2nd song off his 1975 album "Young Americans". An epic album of southern soul that only Bowie could pull off

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
I haven't listened to a lot but I like Golden Years.
Aaaangeeel, come ba ba ba baby
Grew up with a lot of Bowie music and I have favourites that span the decades:
The Jean Geanie
Rebel Rebel
Life on Mars
Starman
Heros
Ashes to Ashes
Let's Dance
I am sure the order is way out, but this is how they came into my head.
Blimey, the choice....
Ziggy or Diamond Dogs for me
To hard basket really.... Bowie fan =)
(though there are a few I dont like! haha)
You can't fight sleep.. if you feel tired, stop and rest!
Brian Eno FTW
Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.
Heroes,heaps have tried to cover it but never as good as original Bowie version.
Hello officer put it on my tab
Don't steal the government hates competition.
another vote for heros. epic song![]()
Putting the boot in
I like listening to "David Live" - dates from '74 or '75ish, live concert in Philadelphia. Brilliant performance (from Bowie and the band), and great versions of many classic Bowie songs.
Apart from that, I really like "Heroes" and his version of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero", on his Tin Machine album, as well as "Heaven's in Here", "Under the God", and "Prisoner of Love".
What I don't like was his contribution to "Comfortably Numb" at David Gilmour's Royal Albert Hall concert. Although there was much praise from Gilmour and others for Bowie "making the song his own", I think his voice was all wrong - too high pitched.
His very bestest song has to be "The Laughing Gnome", eh?![]()
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....![]()
