ern500evo Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Of all the songs I've ever listened to, by any artist, there's only one which makes me feel emotional for no apparent reason. By which I mean it's not attached to any life event, it doesn't stir a memory to cause the emotion, it's just the song itself that does it. That song is Heroes, so it has to be that one for me. As someone as said already, when you start trying to pick a song it hits home just how many fantastic songs he gave us. Quote
kusee pee Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Changed my mind whilst dreaming of Bowie songs last night. Thru These Architect's Eyes. A storming track. Quote
mike 110 Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Too many to choose from really , but - Width of a Circle , Eight line Poem , Andy Warhol , Letter to Hermione … So many superb songs that made a huge impact on me when I was a kid and that I still listen to today ... Quote
spectoremg Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 [quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1452531521' post='2950883'] More awesome. Look out for Garson, Gabrels and whoever the drummer is here. Amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xup_RSisiWQ [/quote]Nice to see Mike Garson interviewed on the telly last night. Quote
Stylon Pilson Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 My choice here would be Life On Mars. Not just my favourite Bowie song, but one of my favourite songs, full stop. It gives me shivers just to type out the title. S.P. Quote

As well as Architect, I love Oxford Town, Heart's Filthy Lesson, Voyeur (already posted above). Quote
toneknob Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 This has just pipped Where Are We Now? as my favourite on The Next Day. Some lovely fretless from GAD, read a bit about her MTD bass here http://www.singingbassist.com/gail-ann-dorsey-singing-bassist/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1jYO64l0fM Quote
JellyKnees Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Never his biggest fan tbh but I've always had a soft spot for the Low album.. fave track is probably Always Crashing the Same Car Quote

oldbass Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Just blubbed my way through a playalong to the beautiful Life on Mars...my 71 P has never sounded so woody and kinda early Bowie sounding.... Yep Life On Mars does it for me.. Quote

Mykesbass Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Impossible to choose, but listening to Let's Dance today I had forgotten how much I liked Cat People (Putting Out The Fire). Was sad to hear that Bowie had gone off that album, and yes, it was very 80's, but I still love it. Quote
bonnp Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 life on mars, taped it from a top of the pops album and ashes to ashes, heroes, and starman Quote
