You'll have to order another one if you ever decide to have kids. I hear it's near impossible to do without a manual. nod

I know. I'll just get some out-of-print/out of date copy at a second hand store. It's cheaper that way. nod

Just make sure the copy you get isn't so old that the info is wrong. A manual from the 50s while valuable isn't very accurate.

Quicksand

Sorry, I just don't think it's on the same level as the other songs...

I'm the first mammal to wear pants.

I love these threads! "Kooks" brought out the best in us all!

Anyway, I can't really argue with these 5 songs, even if I like "Kooks" better than 3 of them. mad

My vote this time is for..."Changes".

At this point, I really can't complain. I love all the rest. I just love the others a little more!

Oh You Pretty Things is the only one I really take issue with. I know better than to think I'll be more than a minority of one in saying this, but I do think it's rather poor...the kind of jaunty music hall number that Ray Davies could toss off in his sleep.

i'm going with "changes" too. i realize how essential and classic and wonderful it is, blah-blah...but the other four songs on this list are just too near and dear to me. i like "changes" the same way i like "fame" or "rebel rebel" - i have tons of love for these songs, but mostly because it's where my love of bowie can intersect with people i know who don't know his music very well but they like "that one song he does". lol

every GREAT now and then i still connect with the greatness that is "changes", but compared to the other songs on the list at this point, i don't come back to it nearly as much.

so there's that.
