'life on mars' gets my vote after some long thinking, 'Bowie’s vocals in the song are probably at its peak in this song especially on the chorus of “Sailors fighting in the dance hall/Oh man! Look at those caveman go/It’s the freakiest show/Take a look at the Lawman/Beating on the young guy/Oh man! Wonder if he’ll ever know/He’s in the best selling show/Is there life on Mars

Hmmmm.... "The Laughing Gnome" (Classic song!) and "Young Americans" to name but two.

Great thread!

I love Let's Dance, although it's one of his most commercial.

Also love Ashes to Ashes and Five Years.

This has been really hard to decide... love David Bowie! but I've sort of narrowed it down to 2 (although I could change my mind tomorow!! ) so at this moment in time my fav two are Heroes and Rebel Rebel

My favourites are "Starman" and "Young Americans".

Of his recent songs, my favourite is "Seven", and also "Thursday's child".

OK I've had a think and have narrowed it down to three.

Heroes
Fame
Fashion

And as a collaborator 'Under Pressure' with Queen.

Do you mean 'The Heart's Filthy Lesson'?
That's a great track, as well as the melancholic 'Thursday's Child'.
Good choice.

I couldnt get it down to one, or even three, but as a first run at it....

Changes
Scary Monsters
Diamond Dogs
controversially, i do also like HALLO SPACEBOY (PSB mix) but I agree its not a classic Bowie track

Heroes
Life On Mars
China Girl
Let's Dance
Ashes To Ashes

A horrible commercial choice, but they just rule the school. In fact, one could say they rule from Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads.

I'm confused Palomino, "Seven" is a completely different song from "Heart's filthy lesson" (which I didn't like at all)

Has anyone else even heard "Five Years"?

It's one of Bowie's best but least well known songs.

Very underrated I think.
