Golden Years
Somebody Up There Likes Me

Candidate (demo) was my favourite when I first started listening to properly 5 years ago, and it's remained that way. (i listen to a hell of a lot of Bowie too)
>>63328306
Definitely Life on Mars? I'd also say Ashes to Ashes too
>tfw he'll never know
Rock 'n' Roll Suicide or the Bewlay Brothers.
Queen Bitch is my fav
>>63331522

*disagrees*
Every song on station to station> non coca inexpensive bowie
The Bewlay Brothers
How come whenever I look up the meaning to a Bowie song, there's always some critic that claims it's about being gay. Even if the song isn't the slightest bit gay (although most are) people will interpret it that way.
Ground Control To Major Tom
The Mysteries.
>>63333598
Second only to Under Pressure
ITT: Everyone too afraid to post their actual favorite so they pick some random obscure one to seem patrician
>>63334687
Better than every post in the thread being the same answer.
Quicksand
Modern love, by far
>>63334687
Usually the really obscure ones are the best, although the the really well-known songs are known for a reason.
Rock and roll suicide never fails to give me the feels
Not a single song, but the way Five Years hits you with melancholy before Soul Love brings you back up is possibly the best tonal transition I've experienced.
Girl loves me / blackstar
jesus christ you guys dont have to be contrarian for everything, bowie is one of the few where his singles are genuinely best (not that his non-singles and whole discog arent worth exploring). gotta say Heroes is still best
Cat People
Andy Warhol
Life on Mars or Fame or Andy Warhol
Beauty and the Beast
Hmmmhmhmmmhmmm
this is my favorite
the most cheerful one he ever made
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIog1vxXN4U
his "best" is probably station to station tho
V2 Schneider
Station to station is the goat
Favourite Bowie song always changes for me tho at the moment teenage wild life is fucking amazing and I would say it's my favourite right now
Neuköln
>I'd rather smoke and phone my ex
>Be pleading for some teenage sex
