Favourite Bowie track

[jellyheadjeff]

Tricky.

Maybe Lady Grinning Soul

 

[glancaster]

Dollar Days, from his last album. Could also be on 'Songs and music that make you cry' thread, if I'm in that kind of mood.

'If I'll never see the English evergreens I'm running to
It's nothing to meet *
It's nothing to see
I'm dying too'

* I always thought he sung 'me' here. Must listen more closely next time.

 

[Stephen Packer]

As others have said it varies a lot.

How about.
- John, I'm only dancing
- Watch that man.

 

[MVV]

Easy, Quicksand, one of my top ten ever songs. And I believe he references it himself in the Villa Of Ormen on Blackstar:

Don't believe in yourself, don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
Aah-aah, aah-aah, aah-aah, aah-aah

 

[glancaster]

Top 3....
Heroes
Starman
The Man Who Sold the World
....but would likely be different tomorrow.

'The Man Who Sold the World' is definitely up there, but I'd take the Nirvana live version, if that's allowed/isn't sacrilege.

 

[Joe Hutch]

Rebel Rebel, probably.

 

[Sloop John B]

Station to Station,
Stay,
Panic in Detroit,
Sound and Vision,
Fame,
Five years.

[matt j]

Tough one.

I'll take anything off Low. S&V, Warszawa.

 

[Del monaco]

My Death cover.

 

[Whaleblue]

Rebel Rebel, probably.

As used to promote a perfume I bought for my first girlfriend.

FWTW

It could be any of ten plus, but, Heroes just heads the list. There is just something about that song, and I can’t put my finger on it, but I won’t seek to analyse it, rather I will just continue to love it!

 

[Frankiesays]

I'm with you on that one.

Today.

As long as it's not sung in Brazilian Portuguese...

Uhhhhhhhhhh......

 

[MichaelC]

Haha. I said I wouldn't seek to analyse it. But I have. And it didn’t take long. Heroes has an X factor, the feeling as and when it was performed/sung by David Bowie. It had a significant meaning to him.

 

[John_73]

Impossible to pick one. However my favourite of the moment is that funky little number, The Secret Life of Araaaaaaabiaaaaa!

Classic!

 

[Yank]

Uhhhhhhhhhh......

 

[Frankiesays]

How about 'African night flight'.

 

[chartz]

Starman, Heroes, and yes, When I Live My Dream!

But there are so many other brilliant songs...

 

[zekezebra]

As mentioned, loads to pick from but my personal favourite is Moonage Daydream. Mick Ronson at his best guitar and piano. Very underated in my opionion.

 

[Daisy]

Liz Green -five years cover on mark Riley radio6 session, difficult to track down but sometimes repeated.

 

[tuga]

Top tracks for me: Life on Mars / Heroes / Ashes to Ashes.
