DJ!

I could listen to that all day!

Jump they say.

that is SUCH a difficult question for me to answer.

my stock answer is "quicksand", because i never get tired of listening to it and that gorgeous chorus always moves me whenever i hear it.

it's funny, my favorite bowie phase is the late 70s, but my favorite songs are "quicksand", "life on mars", "time", "queen bitch" and probably a few others from the early days i'm not remembering right now.

i love the berlin-era stuff, but i love them more in context of the whole album. for example, i love "V2 Schneider" and "Moss Garden", but less by themselves and more as part of "'Heroes'" or that soundtrack for "Christianne F.", which introduced me to a lot of the bowie/eno stuff way back when i was first getting into bowie.

Life On Mars

Fame.


That's the only thing I really like by dude.

tough one, maybe

Life On Mars
Moonage Daydream

my sleeper pick:

Golden Years--not the greatest song ever, but damned if I don't love it!

"Suffragette City" - that one gets me moving like no other.

Damn Right. This is like very fraustrating b/c Bowie has a lot of Gems to choose from. I guess either Major Tom, Time, or Ashes To Ashes.

there'd be a time when i'd say 'ashes to ashes', but i think that's like 'let's go crazy' for me...i love both of those songs so much i wore them out within the first five years of discovering them! it's amazing how much you can listen to one song over and over and it still hits you before you burn out on it.

That's what I was gonna say!

if you guys haven't heard his song "stay" from the "station to station" album, you're missing out...move over "fame", there's something funkier!

Anxiety said:

I can understand what you mean. Actually, I would put Let's Dance with the Let's Go Crazy mass appeal faze.

Station to Station

This one or Rebel Rebel.

They're all garbage

Ashes to Ashes

Anxiety said:

Well that's my choice.

Since i'm not a giant fan and don't listen to him all that much, the song doesn't have that worn out factor it may have for you.

I'm very impressed with the song itself, the sound of his voice & the vocal performance in general whenever I hear it.
Just a great atmospheric vibe to the piece.

that is a pretty good point. I hadn't considered it

Shocked that nobody said Space Oddity.

I don't get how someone can like Prince but not Bowie; their music is quite alike.

thats what i was gonna say

I believe one person incorrectly called it "Major Tom".

I first heard "Rebel Rebel" on Live Aid. I thought that rocked! Then I heard the studio version and was disappointed a little, but now I love it.

Modern Love

so many to choose! I'd have to say the epic closer to the ziggy album..... Rock N' Roll Suicide! it's simply amazing!The amount of emotion in bowie'
s voice as he yells "
Just turn on with me and you're not alone
Let's turn on with me and you're not alone
Let's turn on and be not alone
Gimme your hands cause you're wonderful
Gimme your hands cause you're wonderful
Oh gimme your hands."
priceless!

don't let the jaded taste fool ya...whenever he busts this old chestnut out in concert, i'm bowie's screaming little bitch every time.

I've always thought that was a good song but over-rated. It never seems to go anywhere.
