So - what is your favourite David Bowie song? Mine is Let`s Dance. I remember when it was released during the long hot summer of 1983 and I used to listen to it on my radio on Saunton Beach of an afternoon. Years later (1988) I went to Australia and I can remember listening to it on the radio on the night before I went. The video for that song had Sydney as a backdrop and I can remember being so excited that I was going there the next day. It`s funny how songs bring back so many memories.

I also liked Jean Genie. Poor old Mick Ronson has gone as well

Me too ummm. Especially as listening to his music always brings back memories of carefree teenage days .......
Heroes - because it reminds me of the Olympics as well, The Jean Genie because it reminds me of a friend who now lives in USA, SpaceOddity because it's just amazing, Ziggy Stardust. So many
So sad today.
I have always found this song fascinating ... is Frankie Mear a victim or .......?
brilliantly ambiguous.

Diamond Dogs for me as well.
not actually his own song but I always liked his version of Sorrow on Pinups
Little drummer boy.
I don't expect anyone to agree, but the song which was by far and away his best was 'The Laughing Gnome'
Mine has to be suffragette city.
I don't know why as I don't think it's his best but I like loving the alien.
Drive-In Saturday. Amazing.
The whole idea behind it, and how it was inspired, is so interesting.
And apparently not on any "Best of Album" until the early 90s, which is strange because I have an old "Best of" from the 1970s which has it on, but I think it may be one of those odd compilations only available abroad.
Has to be Starman - but then again, Rebel Rebel - I dunno, John, I'm only dancing . . . ?? Just sooo many from my formative years ! Oh, Jean Genie ????
"Jump they Say".

at face value it sounds like an upbeat jazz-funk number but being bowie it's not that simple. its a very bleak, angry piece that does justice to the subject material. awesome.
Liked this early one of his.
