Never knew Bowie could be so low class.

"Time, he flexes like a whore
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, boy"

Don't know if I'm ever going to be a true Bowie fan, but there's clearly a door open for me.

"Watch That Man" is a killer track. Probably one of my top ten Bowie tunes.

What's everyone's top ten then?

Blackstar
Life on Mars
Absolute Beginners
Always Crashing in the Same Car
Station to Station
Five Years
Blackout
Ashes to Ashes
Starman
Weeping Wall

Not sure what order, who gives a shit.

Life On Mars
Heroes
Jean Genie
Space Oddity
Boys Keep Swinging
Ashes To Ashes

I could do a top twenty if you want

Life on Mars?
Starman
Rebel Rebel
Absolute Beginners
Wild is the Wind
Suffragette City
Drive-in Saturday

In no order.

Quicksand
Word on a Wing
Watch That Man
Life on Mars?
Dollar Days
1984
Starman
Changes
"Heroes"
Fantastic Voyage
Quicksand

Honourable mention: Station to Station.

How about instrumentals? My fave is Subterraneans.

EDIT: Ah crap, forgot Ashes to Ashes. This is a futile task

~~Cuthbert~~ · 11-03-2017, 06:35 PM

Weeping Wall, I think Heroes has the stronger instrumentals as a whole though.

Crystal Japan would be up there too.

GD · 11-13-2017, 02:36 PM

this needs a bump

Heroes
A New Career in a New Town
Subterraneans
Space Oddity
The Bewlay Brothers
V-2 Schneider
Life on Mars?
Strangers When We Meet
Suffragette City
Station to Station

(not in any particular order btw)

Honourable mentions to "Ashes to Ashes", "The Man Who Sold the World", "Outside", "The Hearts Filthy Lesson" and probably a few others

You must like that song a lot since you included it twice!

I don't think I ever listened to a Bowie album all the way through. I'm gonna fix that this week.

This is a top 5 song for him. I've heard it loads but recently I've been loving it. It's immense.
