David Bowie: anyone have a favourite song or two ?

[WildRosie]

Not easy to choose with a considerable body of work but I shall go for:

Golden Years

Sound and Vision

So, so, many. Bowie is my god...

Wild Is The Wind
Sound and Vision
John I’m Only Dancing
Five Years
I’m Afraid Of Americans
Heathen

I could fill the thread all on my own 🙂

I saw him live dozens of times over a forty year period. Never missed a tour.
His voice live was fucking sensational, and he had the cream of supporting musicians.

I still cannot listen to ‘Blackstar’ 🖤

Hang on a minute. some pp have ignored the ‘song or two’ restriction! In which case I am adding to mine

Sound and Vision
Rock and Roll With Me
Heroes
Absolute Beginners
Ashes to Ashes

Absolute beginners
Modern love

See user name

Too many to mention, I am a massive fan.

All of them.

But will mention Jean Genie as nobody else has.

I never got to see him live, one of the biggest regrets of my life.

Kooks
Heroes - iconic
Changes
Absolute beginners

oh yes Sound and Vision

suffragette city

so many good tunes

such a moment when the GB olympic team back in 2012 came out to Heroes.

The Prettiest Star
Ziggy Stardust
Absolute Beginners

Gosh too many to mention but love the line about 'she smiled like Twig the wonder kid'- Drive in Saturday. He was a genius.

Bring back doves thank you!!
It's excellent

Absolutely patsy...

I thought people were wondering why David boiwe wasn't used?

they played Heroes but he wasnt physically there which is what people wondered about

Ashes to Ashes...Life on Mars?...Heroes...Absolute Beginners...Candidate... And the live version of The Passenger with Iggy. Prime earworm food here today, so thank you all. 😊

As the World Falls Down, Golden Years, Life on Mars, Under Pressure With Bowie, it wasn't what he sang so much as how he sang it. He wasn't the best singer in the world, but no one has matched him for emotion. That's where his true talent lay.

Yes, His vocal was interesting but he sang with passion

When I gave birth to my first dd it was David Bowie day on the radio so it helped.

Letter for Elise
Heroes (for the intro!)

Well, that’s The Cure.

So Letter to Hermione!!

Life in Mars
Ziggy Stardust.
Both played very !oud! Fantastic

For Me:

Let's Dance
Ashes to Ashes
Ziggy Stardust
Jean Genie
Starman
Space Oddity

Husband:

Modern Love
Heroes

Wild is the Wind

starman
but I love lots of others.
