David Bowie got me at Space Oddity and kept me a fan till he died so many amazing tracks over the years I could do a six list over and over for each era each reinvention of himself, he really was an incredible artiste and very much missed

I only like one:
John, We're Only Dancing

And I can tolerate Ashes to Ashes.

I love Bowie to look at and to listen to in interviews, but his music does nothing for me.

BrotherlyLove · 12/01/2020 09:32

Glad to see Jump they say in someone's list, I thought I was the only person who liked that.

DoctorTwo · 12/01/2020 11:39

Blackstar will have to be on there, actually the first on the list.

The other five? There is no way I can choose just five from his back catalogue. Maybe 45 (rpm).

Fruityb · 12/01/2020 15:16

@BrotherlyLove jump they say sticks with me as it was always on the chart show when I was a kid. I’ve always enjoyed that one.

Fruityb · 12/01/2020 15:17

Buddha In suburbia for the same reason

Dramaofallama · 12/01/2020 16:10

God so many to choice from! But I will have to say:
Heroes
Cat people
