Tonight is the worst thing he's ever recorded, so off it goes.

I actually really like Tonight. Maybe even better than Let's Dance.

I'll give you Loving the Alien, not convinced on Blue Jean. But even then the production is really messy and doesn't work in the song's favour.

Don't Look Down through Tonight is the worst section of the album, but the other half isn't all that bad to me.

Just as an incidental exercise, here's 10 tracks which didn't appear on Bowie's main album releases. Most of them soundtrack songs, but some corkers all the same:

1. Holy Holy (1971)
2. Velvet Goldmine (1971)
3. Shadow Man (1971)
4. John, I'm Only Dancing (Again) (1975)
5. Alabama Song (1979)
6. Cat People (Putting Out Fire) (original version, 1982)
7. This Is Not America (with The Pat Metheny Group, 1985)
8. Absolute Beginners (1986)
9. When The Wind Blows (1986)
10. Born In A UFO (2013)

Cat People and Absolute Beginners are fantastic singles.

Hell, of course!
That would have fitted perfectly on "Ziggy Stardust". I never understood what happened there?

It was recorded after Ziggy was released, so adding it would have been problematic.
