If You Could Choose Only One David Bowie Song, What Would it be?

[Natalie Nessus]

 

[Natalie Nessus]

Very hard, I love them all but Ashes to Ashes would just beat Life on Mars & Loving the Alien

Hmm, but what about Kooks or the whole Diamond Dogs?

So difficult

'Sweet thing

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Going for the cheese...

Major Tom.

 

[Natalie Nessus]

Re: Going for the cheese...

Major Tom.

You mean Space Oddity?

Ground control to Major Tom

Although, Major Tom is referred to and explained in Ashes to Ashes

Natalie Merchant does a great version of 'Space Oddity'

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Yes, Space Oddity. But every time I say Space Oddity people think I'm spelling the movie wrong. So I say Major Tom. It's a lyric. People remember it. They should change the damn title. Bastards.

And while we're at it, what in the FUCK does "Rainy Day Women" mean? (Sorry -- segue to Dylan there)

 

[Thumper]

Ahhh Bowie

Suffragette City.

China Girl...

 

[LadyTabitha]

"As the World Falls Down" from Labrinyth (sp?). It's the song that's playing when they're in the ballroom dancing.

Red Shoes as in "Lets Dance" thats the only Bowie songs I really dislike, takes me back to a holiday in spain a certain bar we used to go in played it all the time and the DJ used to insist on singing it over the top of the record. Unfortunately that killed it for me!

 

[miz_understood]

and finally

must add one last one.....Starman

 

[Young Knave]

Always been partial to Suffragette City myself for some reason.

 

[Purple Haze]

Rebel, rebel,
It's on your dress,
Rebel, rebel,
Your face is a mess,

Ziggy played guitar........

 

[Saturn Return]

Wow! really tough to choose

In no particular order...

Andy Warhol
Fame
Baby Universal
Fashion
Scary Monsters
TVC 15
Hello Spaceboy
Aladdin Sane
Strangers when We Meet
Fantastic Voyage

...and of course, the very emotional Heroes.

"We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day"
