Hmm good question..
1) Ziggy Stardust
2) Starman
3)Young Americans
** Life on Mars should be in there somewhere just not sure where
Life on Mars? No doubt about it.
Incidentally, it’s not subjective, I am right. All other answers are the wrong ones.
I’ve always had a special fondness for Heroes but I couldn’t tell you why.
Life on Mars. There is no other answer.
Ah. You are very wise, lefteh. But the song is called Life on Mars?.
I think it all depends on what mood your in. Life on Mars is amazing and is a very powerful song. But a song like Ziggy Stardust reflects Bowie’s personality and song writing style because of the unusual lyrics and wild imagery.
Sorry, Joey. But lefteh has given the correct answer. ‘Nuff sed.
My favorite is Under Pressure. But I am not sure if that is a David Bowie song featuring Freddy Mercury, or if it is a Freddy Mercury song featuring David Bowie.
@tinyfaery. It’s technically a Queen song featuring David Bowie.
Ziggy Stardust is pretty kick ass!
Eambos is right about that.
Ok. Then The Man Who Sold The World.
Too late to edit, but here’s the original
Top 3
Ziggy Stardust
Rebel Rebel
Under Pressure
Heros
TVC15
Dj
I also really enjoyed ‘Nature Boy’ which he did with Massive Attack for the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. Its a cover of a 40s song but between Bowie and MA…it was hypnotic.
“Aladdin Sane,” from the album Aladdin Sane.
I rolls wid it thumpin’
Some will probably hate me for this-but for its time and place I think “China Girl” ranks high on my list (can’t help it-I’m a product of the 80s); the other songs listed are awesome though…
Wait, whats wrong with China Girl? Definitely should have been on my list as well.
Either Underground (which was on the Labyrinth soundtrack), Life on Mars?, Heroes, or Let’s Dance.
1. Changes
2. Ziggy
3. Oh! Youu Pretty Things
4. Starman
5. All the Madmen
The Man Who Sold The World and Ashes to Ashes, without question.
I can’t believe nobody mentioned Lady Grinning Soul!!!!!!
Just go watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl-lbhMrGds&feature=related
put on earplugs if you haven’t got a surround sound system, press full screen, turn up the volume and just sit back. I literally couldn’t move after listening to this song. It is heartbreakingly beautiful. And his best song EVER
