MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Just seen a reference to a Bowie lyric on another thread and realised that in all the music threads there is very little mention of the musical genious that is Sir David of Bowie!!
What's your favourite Bowie track?
Up there has to be Wild is the Wind.
Suffragette City was heard last week, which is excellent.
Perhaps too many to mention.
My overall favourite has to be....
Width of a Circle.
Let's see who the Bowie fans are.
the acoustic version of Rock and Roll Suicide, gets me every time
Life on Mars from the album Hunky Dory
moonage daydream.............
ace
5 Years (plain old album versions)
Heroes
The Laughing Gnome
lol @johnners - I really don't want to spotify that song, I'll have the bloody tune going round and round my head all day!
Ha ha ha, he he he, you're old johnners!
Sound and Vision and Heroes for me.
We Are The Dead, from Diamond Dogs (was planned to be 1984 theme album, but Orwell estate objected. Or so I read once ...)
Alternatively ... All The Mad Men
It's between Life on Mars, Heroes and Modern Love
Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)
or
Cracked Actor
Slightly embarrassing, but Under Pressure is the one that gets played most on my iPod......
Wild is the wind was pretty good and on a lighter note the covers on the movie The life Aquatic sung in Portugese.
My top three most played:
Heroes
Always Crashing in the Same Car
Under Pressure
I think Under Pressure is in there on a technicality but it's great for a bit of prancing.
Tin machine, tin machine, take me anywhere...somewhere without alcohol or goons with muddy hair
Queen Bitch
Let's Dance - Genius!
There are so many great Bowie Tracks, I could list a lot more...
Ashes to Ashes (Whole Album)
Jean Genie
Changes
Oh you Pretty thing
China Girl
Space Oddity
All of Hunky Dory
Secret life of Arabia
Tin machine, tin machine, take me anywhere...somewhere without alcohol or goons with muddy hair
Good call with Tin Machine, a lot of people slated the first album at the time, but I liked it. I saw it as Bowie being Bowie and creative rather than responding to record company wishes and the Let's Dance stuff. 😆 But everything has its place.

Well duh! 😉
I've had the fortune to see him three times, 83 in Milton Keynes Bowl, 93 Main Road and possibly 95/96 Manchester arena. 😀 Not old enough to have seen Ziggy. 😥
an odd one but Sorrow on Pin ups
also Rock n Roll suicide.
Lady Grinning Soul is my favourite song by [i]anyone[/i]!
Lordy, I love Bowie.
This month I also like 'Art Decade', 'The Bewlay Brothers' and 'Bring Me The Disco King'.
My 4 & 6 year old children like 'Magic Dance' of course...
Another vote for Sorrow and also Suffragette city
and all of the Hunky Dory album
Slightly embarrassing, but Under Pressure
Not embarassing at all, absolutely cracking tune. Also...
Changes
Fill Your Heart
...and loads more. They don't make em like they used to!
Heroes.. but prefer it covered by others.
Heroes.. but prefer it covered by others.
Bowie live at Live Aid was quite special at the time though, might be a bit cheesy now!!
That one with the lyric:
"Don't look at the carpet...
I...drew...something awful on it"
EDIT Breaking GLass
Up the Hill Backwards, Young Americans - long version, Cat People - both versions, Queen Bitch, Moonage Daydream, Andy Warhol.
Life on Mars or Modern Love or Space Oddity
Moss Garden/Neukoln/Sense of doubt ("Heroes" CD).
Sounds fantastic on the Hifi, even with the cables the wrong way round.
Heroes or Queen Bitch I suppose.
Too many good tracks to pick a fave really though.
The man who sold the world
My fave artist of all time... really couldn't pick a single fave track.
One of the things I like about him is that in the middle of a load of self-indulgent rubbish (eg. "Outside") there'll be an absolute gem (eg. "Heart's Filthy Lesson")
In no particular order, just as they pop into my head.
Aladdin sane
suffragette city
john I'm only dancin'
life on mars
diamond dogs
jean genie
ziggy stardust
man who sold the world
oh you pretty things
life on mars
starman
drive in saturday
it ain't easy
queen bitch
moonage daydream
rock n roll suicide
Absolute beginners, it was out during my mid teens and while it is a shite song brings back a lot of fond memories of that time of my life.
Lady Stardust
5 Years
Heroes every time
Following on from Laughing Gnome, how about
Ching a Ling
When I'm Five
Sell me a coat
Rubber Band
I suppose a few oddities can be excused given the other great songs.
Letter to Hermione is one of my faves
Best not forget [url=
Arthur[/url].
All of Station to Station
All of Low
DJ
Boys Keep Swinging
Heroes
Joe the Lion
V-2 Schnieder
Neukoln
Heart's Filthy Lesson
Thru' These Architects Eyes
Strangers When We Meet
Suffragette City
Rebel Rebel
All of Diamond Dogs
There are many others...
Anyone mentioned Sweet Thing?
Boys Keep Swinging (for the guitar solo)
Drive in Saturday
DIS in awesome, and my guilty pleasure has to be Absolute Beginners.
I won't hear any Outside dissing though - it's a ripper!
Try
Love you til tuesday
for a completely 60s upbeat throwback
then
Please Mr Gravedigger
for a dark downbeat contrast
has to be tin machine under the god 8)
Teenage wildlife followed by Blue Jean
Best track is 'unwashed and somewhat slightly dazed' but i could listen to starman over and over and over
Best Album is 'Ziggy Stardust'
bewlay brothers and eight line poem for me
Width of a Circle off the Ziggy live album.
I was never really in to Tin Machine era but gave a few of the suggestions off this thread a go, and found this by accident..
New fave methinks!!!
Ferhookin hell, how could i forget! The mrs just said Jump, They say...
But search out the Leftfield remix!
Sorrow
Sound & Vision
Life on Mars
Life on Mars. I think. The man is class
Pretentious toss apart from some of the Mick Ronson collaborations and Jean Genie, which was only any good cos he nicked a Bo diddley riff.
That's just my opinion obviously anybody who disagrees is entitled to. 🙂
CH CH CH CH CHanges
Grew up listening to to Bowie, thanks to older brother's Bowie obsession, but thats still me fave
Changes and Heroes for me. Man is a ****ing legend. Still remember listening to Young Americans constantly while doing my paper round when I was 15. I also really liked one of this last tunes...
also saw the Glass Spider tour at Roker Park in Sunderland, when DB walked out and said........... "hello Newcastle" FAIL! 😆
Lots and lots of them, but also I Feel Free from Black Tie White Noise - my favourite ever cover.
Best Album, The Man Who Sold The World. Song, ditto.
Some really awesome stuff in here chaps, obviously, thanks.
Going through Youtube and found another forgotten gem. Crack City. I think that as far as mad drummers go Hunt Sales must be up there, one of the coolest tattoos I've seen, it says it all really.

City[/url]
it's impossible to have just one,depends on what mood your in.
memory of a free festival
width of a circle
bewlay brothers - the lyrics to this are out of this world
cracked actor
panic in detroit
candidate
stay - the guitar riff at the beginning always gives me shivers - must be played loud
neukoln
hello spaceboy
.. i could go on all day.
I take it this isn't the best thread to mention the Labyrinth in?
Hard to pick just one but if I had to it would be something earlyish with Mick Ronson's guitar in there somewhere.
Not an afficionado but reading the above makes me realise the man is a class act.
For me - Heroes.
Unless cover versions of Bowie songs are allowed, in which case Bauhaus / Ziggy Stardust.

Of course covers are allowed, if they introduce you to the great man and you like.

IMO Bowie is one of the few living legends in music, most of musical legends have died early or like McCartney or Jagger have become shadows / caricatures of the former selves.
