Your Ultimate Bowie Collections I just burned a CD which includes my all time favourite Bowie songs!
I just love its flow... I had to leave some songs off because of time limitation - I wanted a single disc compilation... But I think I'll extend it onto two discs with songs like "Loving The Alien", "Heroes", "Candidate/Sweet Thing (Reprise)", "Chant Of The Ever Circling Skeletal Family", "It's No Game (Part 1)", "Stay", "Aladdin Sane"... Here comes the tracklist: Bring Me The Disco King Word On A Wing Sweet Thing Lady Stardust Time Quicksand The Secret Life Of Arabia Teenage Wildlife Strangers When We Meet Without You Win Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud Life On Mars? Space Oddity Big Brother My Death (Live) total running time: 79'38 So, this is my "Ultimate Bowie Collection"!!! And I'd really like to see what yours are, Bowie fans!!! Please, post your single disc compilations!!! Thanx!!! [Edited 11/29/05 0:32am] | |

I'm still in Bowie kindergarten. One of my favorite Orgers (you guys wouldn't know him, he's very quiet ) sent me a massive set that I'm still working my way through bite by delicious bite.
So far, though, my favorites are: Ashes to Ashes Breaking Glass Queen Bitch Stay Let's Dance Young Americans Under Pressure Jean Genie Word on a Wing Wild is the Wind Cat People (12 inch = ) ...off the top of my head. The Normal Whores Club | |

somedays, as far is bowie is concerned, i would simply recommend putting the song "stay" on auto-repeat. that song is HOTT. | |

...which is exactly what I did on the day I discovered it. I don't think I'll ever forget that feeling as it was hitting me. It was something like, "wait, what the fuck???" The Normal Whores Club | |

If all I was able to do with all those discs I sent you was turn you on to that one song, my work is complete. Fortunately, it sounds like you're digging on lots more and digesting it all slowly. This makes me very happy! Bowie's music is hugely important to me, and I'm always thrilled to share it with someone who can appreciate digging into it for the first time. It's my extreme honor and pleasure to facilitate that. | |

These days, it would be 80 minutes of the song 'Station to Station' on a loop. I could listen to that track for days on end!! I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

Really, that entire album is perfection. I'd honestly give all the tracks a perfect 10. | |

Really, that entire album is perfection. I'd honestly give all the tracks a perfect 10. It's my favorite Bowie album by far, but I'd have to say that I'm not such a huge fan of "Word on a Wing". I think the rest of the album is tops, but the song just never caught me the way the rest of the album did. I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

That's my favorite song on there. | |

It's utterly beautiful, from the music to the lyrics to the meaning. What a pretty way to describe prayer: Lord, I kneel and offer you My word on a wing not to mention Just because I believe Don't mean I don't think as well The Normal Whores Club | |

And you know all I've ever wanted to do is provide you with extreme pleasure. Seriously, thanks so much. I'm having quite a ride and it's thrilling to have that "new-love" feeling again.

I LOVE that line, but I am very picky when it comes to music, and more than just a little anal; the line directly following in the song doesn't seem to fit with it: "Don't have to question everything in heaven or hell". I understand how the line works, but I still just don't think it belongs.
As crazy as it sounds, I have to work really hard not to let somethign like that ruin a song. I almost couldn't listen to 'Shy' by Prince because of that ridiclious "they'll call me a chicken" line. I guess I'm a freak! FunkMistress said: Just because I believe

Don't mean I don't think as well [Edited 11/30/05 9:04am] I am the same way... there are lines in certain songs that I otherwise love that just drive me bonkers. Good example: Angel by Eurythmics. The references to Elvis Presley just ruin the song for me. | |
