Golden Years

Sound and Vision

Let's Dance
Putting out Fire

This is not America, Golden years, sound and vision, moonage daydream, life on mars, suffragette city, China girl, blue jeans, modern love, putting out the fire with gasoline

Many posters have offered more than just one or two songs therefore, in the spirit of harmony, I shall do likewise:

John, I'm Only Dancing (Again)

Fashion

Everyone Says 'Hi'

Sometimes I think Bowie was one of the strings holding the world together. It's gone to hell in a hand basket since we lost him.

Well, how to choose?

I have to say that I have a real thing about John, I'm Only Dancing.

This is because I am incredibly old and can remember seeing him performing this on Top of the Pops when I was about 14, and a synapse in my brain popped! Wow!!

Loved many other songs since then...

Difficult!

Ashes to Ashes
China Girl

Trymungo · 14/08/2021 22:28

If I had to pick just one, I would go with Ashes to Ashes.

My very good friend and I have an ongoing discussion about whether Ziggy Stardust or Hunky Dory is the better album.

Withgasoliiiiine · 14/08/2021 22:40

Cat people (putting out the fire), kooks, rebel rebel

How timely, been listening to this playlist today! As much as I love Bowie, I prefer the nirvana version of man who sold the world..... (duck)
