Favourite David Bowie song?

[moonford]

'Let's dance' or 'Life on Mars?'

One makes me feel good and shows how powerful/emotional his voice is and the other more artistic with deep meaning (every one of his songs do though), I love his voice in this one too.

Hes just so darn talented.

[Bowie]

I was born for this thread.

Spoiler

And those are just some of my favourites. As you may be able to tell, I've always had a soft spot for his later years. Young Americans is an amazing album, full of great, jazzy tunes, and if it weren't for his death I would probably put ★ near to the top of the list. The Next Day Extra is also an underrated collection of songs that were cut from The Next Day, his 2013 "comeback album".

My all-time favourite song is probably "5.15 The Angels Have Gone". I don't really know what it's about, but it has everything that I like in a Bowie song, and it was a song I rushed to the very moment I heard the bad news. I wish that he had more time to make similar stuff to what's on ★, because I really, really love the kind of music he was making for that album and I was looking forward to what he was gonna do next. Shame. He gave us everything he could in his position. Forever grateful.

Also, yeah Life on Mars obviously...

 

[N a t]

Probably the most overplayed song ever, but Space Oddity.

Ground control to major Tom....

Space oddity some people don't get that song but it's quite powerful, a guy deciding that Earth is too sad (blue) to return to so he floats away into space....

Life on mars is also fantastic. What an artist

 

[Alienfish]

Yeah, Life on Mars is ****ing awesome but I can't really listen to it without crying for hours, thanks Obama Breaking the waves lol...

 

[Celestefey]

Space Oddity allllll day everyday, without a doubt. I adore it. When I think of David Bowie I think of that song. <3

 

[ellarella]

TVC15 or Station to Station. shoutout to Kooks too!

 

[sock]

Gotta love Life on Mars, but I also like TVC 15!

 

[Soda Fox]

Starman!

 

[Milleram]

Space Oddity and Rebel Rebel are tied for absolute favourite, but there are so many others that I love. Life on Mars, The Man Who Sold the World, Fame, Starman... The list goes on.

 

[lostineverfreeforest]

Cygnet Committee, it's super underrated. Starman comes in a close second.

 

[honeymoo]

Life On Mars, definitely.

"Let's Dance" is probably my most favorite. I also really like "Rebel Rebel", "Young American", and "Heroes".
