Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

David Bowie,maybe one of the most influential & diverse singer/songwriters of the past 30 or so years.So following on from the U2 thread,whats your favourite Bowie song?Theres a hell of a back catologue to choose from.I think my personal favourit would have to be 'Sweet Thing/Candidate' from Diamond Dogs or The Jean Genie or Everyone Says Hi or Joh......well,theres many.:cool:

Re: Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

'Life on Mars?' for me.

However, imo Bowie hasn't had any decent stuff out since Heroes in '77; the past 30 years have been pretty awful.

Re: Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

My favourite of Bowies is - sorrow - a geat song one on my mp3 player

also like starman, life on mars & the man who sold the world - nivarna did a good cover of it:D

Re: Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

If you get chance listen to his last two albums Heathen & Reality.Although maybe not his best,they are both very good albums & far better than his 80's & 90's output.Ashes To Ashes,another classic.imo.

Re: Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

Though his latter albums aren't bad, they're not great either. And in your heart you kind of know that although they sound all right, it's actually just rubbish & he's lost what he once had.

Re: Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

What?Like Oasis you mean?

Re: Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

No. I mean like David Bowie, obviously.

I made my opinion about Bowie's newer stuff.
If you want to chat about Oasis, start a thread about them.
I couldn't care less otherwise.

Re: Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

Starman, because it's just so beautiful, and Heroes because it was playing the first time I kissed the last girl I was in love with.

Re: Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

love bowie unfortunately mel i do not like sorrow, original by the merseys much better, theres many class songs though, starman, song for bob dylan,kooks, life on mars, he actually wrote All The Young Dudes, for Mott the Hoople another class song.

Re: Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

What about the laughing gnome? lol :D

Re: Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

actually saw him sing that in a pub in darkest london,late 60s before he hit the big time jen, for a min i thought you refering to one of our lady members.:D

Re: Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

It's either Heroes or Rock And Roll Suicide. Both brilliant and could only be done by him.

Saw him about 25 years ago and to be honest felt let down as he didn't seem to care about the crowd.

Re: Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

Sorry to have to correct you on this one, Mr C, but the original of Sorrow is by the McCoys.

Re: Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

thats true wyn, as my defence check the time i posted that one.:)

Re: Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

OK, I'll let you off, Mr C. Merseys' version was better anyway.

Re: Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

I saw him at King Georges in Blackburn in 73,Aladdin Sane tour.Did anyone else on here go?Most memorable part of the gig for me were the strobe lights during Mick Ronsons solo on Width of a Circle.Ace.

Re: Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

just listened to quicksand from hunky dory and it grows on you.. were do you start? great songs from every album .. space oddity,hunky dory,man who sold the world,ziggy stardust.alladin sane... all great albums..sweet things was a good tune on a bad album.. but I diagree with shaker,"Low" was a better album than "heros"

Re: Bowie The Very Very Best Of
 

ronson was good on width of a circle ..brilliant stuff
