Best part of the movie. Hands down.

[CaptainRocket]

"Changes" and "Rebel, Rebel" are two of my favourites. After I saw him live last year, though, I will never hear "I'm Afraid of Americans" the same way again. His band nailed it so well, the regular just doesn't do it for me anymore.

[Truffle Pigs]

Favorite Bowie song???..........hmmm....I'll have to go with "I'm Afraid of Americans",just because I feel like it!!! ;)

[calumania]

"The Man Who Sold the World"

"Rock n' Roll Suicide"

"The Bewlay Brothers*"

 

I saw him live last year also, he looks great. Not a fan of reality, but at least I can say to my children that I attended a Bowie concert.

[saturnine]

will your children care?

[zinger]

Bowie is the best. Was the first concert I ever went to in 83 and has been my favorite artist since. His tour last year was pretty amazing. We saw him in Vancouver, Seattle and Vegas and he still rocks at 56! Best song for me is a tie between Heroes and Sound and Vision. The Seu Jorge covers from Life Aquatic are pretty good.

will your children care?

touche, but as a dad, it will be my job to tell my kids about times like those.

as corny and cheesy as it sounds "under pressure" has always been one of my fav bowie songs, but a close second is "afraid of americans"

[calumania]

Under Pressure is great. But I only like it for Freddie, surprisingly.

 

I'm a big queen fan.

I've always loved David Bowie, I read an article about him in SPIN when I was like 12 and became... shall we say enamoured? I love Bowie, for his music, for his influence on rock and roll and becase he's the only man sexier than than both Mick and Keith circa 1976. Favourite songs :

 

Golden Years

Fame

Let's Dance

Changes

Young Americans

 

Bowie: It's what I do.

China Girl Awesome Bass line and the Lyrics

 

 

She said ..... Shhhh

[voighdt]

welll... of course everyone's going to say "space oddity", "heroes", "china girl" and "changes". those are fairly obvious. from a real, true bowie fan who's been into his stuff since '93 and has everything he's recorded, here are some recommendations.

 

SONGS:

 

THE CYGNET COMMITTEE from space oddity

BLACK COUNTRY ROCK from man who sold the world

LIFE ON MARS? from hunky dory

HANG ONTO YOURSELF/ZIGGY STARDUST/SUFFRAGETTE CITY/ROCK 'N ROLL SUICIDE from ziggy stardust (no better 4 songs to end a great rock album)

SWEET THING/CANDIDATE/SWEET THING (REPRISE) from diamond dogs

WIN from young americans

STATION TO STATION from station to station

SOUND AND VISION from low

RED SAILS from lodger

ASHES TO ASHES from scary monsters

 

well that covers '69-'80, probably his finest/most creative period. some of his stuff in the '80s was sub-par but '90s found him gaining more creativity/edge.

 

definitely pick up BEST OF BOWIE, DIAMOND DOGS, ZIGGY STARDUST, STATION TO STATION, LOW, HEATHEN.

 

THE END.

[borntohula]
