David Bowie - favourite song?

[Flingingmelon]

Not an easy one, my mind keeps changing. Right now I'm going for Life On Mars.

Anyone else?

Changes

Also loved Under Pressure with Queen

Modern Love
Kooks
Rock n Roll Suicide
Where Are We Now?

Absolutely 'Wild is the wind'
but 'Lady Grinning soul' a very close second...

A bloody genius!

Jellycat, you are more than welcome to come round and play those 2 tracks on constant rotation. Vinyl is out, turntable turning, volume up...

I am currently letting There Is a Happy Land reduce me to tears

survive.

"Tonight"

It's a beautiful peaceful song.

Bowie introduced me to Scott Walker and Jaques Brel. Long before I was mature enough to appreciate them.

The scene in Ziggy when he sings My Death and the audience shout 'me me' gets me every time.

Life on Mars

Modern Love
Absolute Beginners
Hallo Spaceboy

Same here, Doreen.

I am working my way through David Bowie (the album at the moment)... all those sad 60s lyrics, that accent, that angst.

Yes, I did skip Uncle Arthur

Sorrow
Heroes
Changes

Fill Your Heart

Actually, all of Hunky Dory. Favourite album ever.

Love oh you pretty things too.

Damn too many to choose from

Absolute beginners.

There is no one answer

Golden years
Absolute beginners
Modern love
Sound and Vision
Under pressure
Heroes (wouldn't be surprised if this was no.1 next week)

Far too many to choose from.

Heroes
Loving the Alien
Ashes to Ashes
Absolute Beginners
Starman
Fame
Wild is the Wind
Man who sold the World
This is not America
Jump They Say

and of course, everything he sings in Labyrinth.

Golden Years has always been my favourite.

Kooks makes me happy.

Within You from Labyrinth is wonderful.

:(

wild is the wind

lady grinning soul ( one of his favs also written for mysterious but wonderful woman he once met ( melts))

Five years

Black country rock

golden years

aladin sane

Heroes

I'm currently listening to Diamond Dogs, which is one of my favourites of his albums. Rock N Roll With Me nearly had me weeping just now.

Kooks
Letter to Hermione
Life on Mars

Actually too many to list.

Another vote for Wild is the Wind

However, standing in a field at Glastonbury with 20,000 people all singing Heroes remains one of the most uplifting moments of my life.

Aw thank you OurBlanche will bring tissues (if i've any left..)

Just been You Tubeing, i've always thought he knew what was imminent with 'Where are we now', it's too retrospective to be anything else.

I don't think I will buy it or listen to it, Jellykat.

I had Freddie Mercury's last, Innuendo, and can't play that either. Another who knew what was coming and made music to reflect it.

I have reached After All... I may need to go out and buy more tissues myself
