Everything Bowie did was amazing, what a voice! So sexy.. all us girls were in love with Bowie back then..

Early stuff was great but I also liked the 80s songs *China Girl* was one I loved and *Under Pressure* he did with Queen

The guy is a genius and a(proper,actual)legend,music over the last 40 years would have been different without him,countless bands and artists over the last few decades have been influenced by him,his run from 1970-1980 is arguably the greatest of all,his influence is clearly there from Lady Ga Ga to Marylin Manson,to U2,to the Grunge bands,to the 80s synth pop bands,to Blur and Oasis(who both got in trouble for nicking his tunes)and a lot of other Britpop bands,even newer bands like Arctic Monkeys have covered him....

Fucking genius,hope he has a great day:)

only 6 songs on Station to Station, every one of them is a gem. Guitar work on this is phenomenal:

Happy 65th to the Thin White Duke.

Station To Station is a classic alright, Low is brilliant too.

Big fan of Brighter Future from Heathen I think.

nlgbbbblth · 14-01-2012 09:25PM

Station to Station.

I hate the way the first two LPs don't get much credit. The Deram debut is a wonderfully whimsical slice of 60s toytown psych.

I fupin' love Bowie

So much to choose from out of his the 70s heyday, but Slip Away from Heathen is strange and gorgeous. It was originally to be on Toy, the unreleased album of reworked early work, and has quite a 60s Bowie feel to it.

or

so many though

I adore David Bowie, one of maybe four acts I'll use the word adore to describe. My favourite Bowie songs, in some sort of order, are as follows:

1. Station to Station
2. Rock 'n' Roll Suicide
3. Heroes
4. Breaking Glass
5. Beauty and the Beast

Kind of a mix there methinks.
