David Bowie's best video, DJ When he was subversive. ah, Prince, take notes.
http://www.youtube.com/wa...9mlwcAmEpo Pretty obvious that Prince was influenced by this song. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

I like the walking down the street parts. But some of the parts in the studio are kinda lame.
"Be My Wife" and "Life On Mars?" are probably my 2 faves. | |

i love how trashy and immediate the 'dj' video is. musically, for some reason, it reminds me a lot of what talking heads were doing at the time. i guess it's the funk factor, and the eno connection. some of bowie's vocals in that song sound a bit david byrne-ish to me, though. | |

Fear Of Music sits very comfortably alongside Lodger.  | |

'Ashes to Ashes' and 'I'm Afraid of Americans' are my 2 favorites by Bowie, but this one is up there too. I really like my Bowie deranged. I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

i love all the videos from lodger - 'dj', 'boys keep swinging' and 'look back in anger'. there's something so immediate and SHOCKING about all three videos - just the mood is so jarring in all three, and bowie looks so paranoid and alien in all of 'em...they're just the epitome of why i love the man. | |

I agree.
The on the street scenes in the DJ video are totally cool. Ashes to Ashes is one of my faves. The visuals work perfectly. Be My Wife video is so interesting because he is SO WASTED. Everytime I see that video I am like  damn!"Midnight is where the day begins" |

Lodge is awesome! One of my favorite Bowie records. And the DJ video is fab.
But my favorite is Ashes to Ashes | |

"Ashes to Ashes" is a visually stunning video...and it works so well with the song...but, I love the rawness of "DJ" and "Fashion" | |

I can't believe no one has mentioned "Jump They Say". That was a really good video. | |

yeah, it was cool. kind of a different era than the others being discussed, but he was getting back to a bit of the ol' shock value, even though the inspiration for that song/video was a suicide in his own family... | |
