Favourite David Bowie Track

[peachy]

Wild Is The Wind, or Slow Burn, or even China Girl or whatever else I fancy listening to

Wild is the wind is a great track, but rarely chosen.

Little Wonder

FiveYears for me

Let’s face it, even if you’re not that big a fan of Bowie, with a back catalogue as huge and varied as his, if you can’t find a few things to admire there then you’re more than likely just shit at life and might as well just pack it all in now!

 

[Amber]

No idea if that’s already been posted. I’m dying for a wee so can’t look. Love china girl too.

Cactus being, as you may well know, a cover version of a Pixies song. Coincidentally, on Heathen, there's a cover of a Neil Young song - I've been waiting for you - that the Pixies had previously covered themselves.

Two of my constant Bowie faves have already been mentioned on here, Queen Bitch and Five Years.

Thanks for the reply.

I knew about Cactus being a Pixies cover but must say I think Bowie's version knocks it into a cocked hat.

On the other hand, I was unaware about the history relating to "I've been waiting for you" - must now have a listen to both of those.

Thanks again.

Like most of his stuff. Class act.

Thanks. I'm a big fan of the Pixies and I've been waiting for you is one of my all time favourite covers. I've still got the 12" that it appears on as a b-side plus the b-side compilation that it turned up on years later.

Black star on now. Stunning album.

Not seen Station to Station mentioned yet so just throwing that in. Not my favourite of all time but the voodoo menace of the first 5 mins is exceptional.

Pretty much any song he did from Hunky Dory up to the Fame album, if you managed to come up with just one song as good as any on any of them you'd be doing exceptionally well.

I think if I had to choose one at gunpoint Life on Mars is the single best example of his virtuosity in song writing. It's in a class of its own.

Pretty much most of his opening tracks in the era I mentioned are best evers.

Dave did know how to grab one's attention from the off like.

I f***ing LOVE that song I think Earthling is sadly maligned in general

Preferred Iggy's version
