Graham Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I was never a huge fan, always respected his creativity though and I do really like Space Oddity Quote
The fasting showman Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1452531095' post='2950873'] "All The Young Dudes" [/quote]Yes, both the Mott version and the one on 'David Live' When I heard the news 'Look back in anger' is the song that I needed to hear first. Ask me tomorrow and it could be totally different, so much incredible music to choose from. Quote
Woodinblack Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Break stuff. Followed by 'afraid of americans', and 'Life on Mars' Quote
spongebob Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Even thought I'm not a Bowie-head, there's still a list a mile long I could choose. I'm going to plump for 'Golden Years', or 'Fame'. Quote
Beedster Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 You only have to start the process of identifying s favourite to realise just what an extraordinary talent he was. I agree with nearly all the selections so far! Quote
Roger2611 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Mine is probably "The Man Who Sold The World" I just love the haunting vocals at the back end of the song....same with Under Pressure....my biggest memory of Bowie was his performance at Live Aid I was proper moved! Quote
sharkboy Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Drive-In Saturday, followed closely by Heroes and Life On Mars. Predictable, certainly, but classics all. Quote
JapanAxe Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 [quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1452531521' post='2950883'] More awesome. Look out for Garson, Gabrels and whoever the drummer is here. Amazing. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xup_RSisiWQ[/media] [/quote] The drummer is Zachary Alford I believe. Note how Carlos Alomar (the other guitarist) makes do with a tiny pedalboard...

silverfoxnik Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Today it's this one, 'Time' from Aladdin Sane: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQSZR3NSqm8"]https://www.youtube....h?v=MQSZR3NSqm8[/url] Edited January 11, 2016 by silverfoxnik Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 [quote name='ubit' timestamp='1452528243' post='2950839'] I always loved panic in Detroit [/quote] A band I was once in, not long after I started playing bass, made me learn this, it nearly killed me, but what a song! That's the thing with Bowie, as soon as you nail your colours to the mast, along comes someone else to remind you of yet another great song! Quote
leftybassman392 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Crikey! I have no idea how to choose! I don't think I've ever heard a song of his that I don't like (although to be fair there are some gaps in my knowledge...), but if pressed I'd have to say that his early stuff resonates most for me. Let's just say 'anything from Ziggy Stardust'. I'd rather not choose beyond there if that's ok with everybody... Quote
4-string-thing Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Heroes is brilliant, but in my opinion it's mainly because of Robert Fripps guitar playing. 5 Years is one of my favourite songs ever. Quote

HazBeen Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Suffragette City And I love love LOVE the bass line in China Girl A sad sad day... Quote
Old Man Riva Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) [quote name='rushbo' timestamp='1452514191' post='2950599'] Starman...mainly because it takes me back to 1972 every time I hear it. And as for that incredible Top of the Pops performance... [/quote] Today it's this for me also. The moment a black & white world turned vivid Technicolor and things were never quite the same again..

wmsheep Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 personally, I love the Old Grey Whistle Test version of Queen Bitch, as well as Drive in Saturday. Quote
kusee pee Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 So many awesome tracks. I go for Stay off Station To Station. An amazing track from his best album. Quote
Hobbayne Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Sound And Vision. I love the long intro before the vocals finally kick in. Also The Man Who Sold The World. Nirvana did a good cover of that. Quote
Pinball Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Well I was thinking back to my youth in the 70's but just listened to this. It's only a couple of years old its amongst the good stuff The Stars.

ead Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 So hard to say, but as well as most of the above I'd say Station to Station, Wild Is The WInd, Five Years and Cat People. Quote
