Ok folks,

inspired by the album ranking post here is another one I would like to start stating the 10 best songs of Bowie's career. I made this originally in the album ranking thread but steve23yh asked me to start a new one which I think is correct.

So here is my ranking:

space oddity
heroes
life on mars
jean genie
rebel rebel
all the young dudes
stay
fascination
starman
changes

I would say that some day Lazarus will be amongst them

I really don't know how to state only 10 dearest of the maybe 50 to 70 most beloved songs,
I will try this 10..... in no classified order...


The Bewlay Brothers
Moonage Daydream
Ziggy Stardust
Rebel Rebel
Suffragette City
Cracked Actor
Wild Is The Wind
Joe The Lion
Red Sails
Ashes To Ashes

eventually we need a new thread for :"my dearest 30 to 50.....or more"  ???
Really, there are not many songs that are not in my "take them to a lonely island-list"....

Very hard to choose, as my list often changes depending on my mood.
But at the moment it is :

1. Ashes to Ashes
2. Life on Mars
3. Rock'n Roll Suicide
4. Starman
5. Sweet Thing
6. Absolute Beginners
7. I'm Deranged
8. Lady Stardust
9. You Feel So Lonely You Could Die
10. Sunday

Nothing from Blackstar yet, although I really love the album. But at the moment I just can't bring myself to listen to it again.

Tough one, and certainly in no particular order.  Managed to get eight down without even having to think too hard:

Station To Station
Blackstar
God Bless The Girl
Betty Wrong
Drive In Saturday
Life On Mars?
The Motel
Lady Grinning Soul

Picking a final two, however.  I'm plumping for:

New Angels Of Promise
1984

But Starman, John I'm Only Dancing (Again), The Width Of A Circle, Rock'n'Roll Suicide and It's No Game No.1 are all snapping at the door.  Call it a top 15 even.  Would have had It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City in the top batch, but that's a cover...

I'm just going to say these are 10 personal favorites, not necessarily the 10 best.


1. Sweet Thing > Candidate
2. Ashes To Ashes
3. Moonage Daydream
4. Because You're Young
5. Blackout
6. Sons Of The Silent Age
7. The Bewlay Bros.
8. Right
9. Space Oddity
10. Lady Grinning Soul

A song that's been on my mind alot lately is Somebody Up There Likes Me. Great one.
