What is (are) your favorite(s) David Bowie song(s)?

mine are in no particular order:

Changes
Oh! You Pretty Things
Quicksand
Life On Mars
Space Oddity
Ziggy Stardust
Starman
Soul Love
All The Young Dudes
Young Americans

(basically I like his early 70's period the most)

 

Space Oddity
Ziggy Stardust

 

Space Oddity
Rebel Rebel
Jean Genie
Ziggy Stardust

 

Oh! You pretty Things
Starman
Queen bitch
Life on Mars?

(I only have "Rise & Fall..." and "Hunky Dory" so bear with me)

 

Those two albums along with Space Oddity were probably the best 3 albums Bowie released.

 

Heroes.
Can't believe that one wasn't mentioned before.

 

Thats waht Ive been told..and I'd agree, they are amazing (I have yet to get Space Oddity though)

 

The Space Oddity (1969) album has some of Bowie's most meloncholie sounding songs. It is a very beautiful album, probably his sweetest album.

 

Space Oddity
Golden Years
Ashes to Ashes
Under Pressure

And my favorite is Heroes, although it's the version that seems to be less popular:

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guards shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes

 

I also really like the 1980 album, Scary Monsters.

 

Wow.. being a huge Bowie fan it's hard for me to make a short list.. but my favorite favorite song might be.. Life On Mars

 

Suffragette City

 

"Wham, bam, thank you ma'am!".....sorry, that song is just too cool

 

the entire "Low" and "Heroes" albums. They are 10x better than anything else Bowie did.

 

Life On Mars
The Bewlay Brothers
Starman
Soul Love
Golden Years

immediately come to mind, although I could go on and on

 

1 Starman
2 Life on Mars
3 It Ain't Easy
4 Space Oddity
5 In the Heat of the Morning
Allright, I have been waiting for a David Bowie thread for a long time, anyway Bowie at the Beep is a great collection of the songs he did for BBC sessions. It has all types of bowie-folk rock, ziggy stardust, all the early hits, a fantastic cd.

 

ooo bowie.......

definitely

life on mars?
jean genie
under pressure
all the young dudes
oh you pretty things
man who sold the world
fame
heroes
sound and vision
ashes to ashes
scary monsters and super creeps
china girl
im afraid of americans

from the looks of it, looks like everyone here likes the majority of the hunky dory album

 

zigggggy starrrrdusssst

 

Heroes, just because the Oasis cover kicks ass.
