He's mine.

[Rootraz]

Wham! Bam! Thank you Ma'am!

[gigglemuffin]

Fame and Space Oddity are some of the best songs ever.

[G-manMET]

The Ziggy Stardust album is a masterpiece. I always feel like It Ain't Easy and Rock 'N' Roll Suicide never get enough credit.

[ghoulstalker]

'Scary Monsters'...that whole period he was living in Germany as a helpless junkie during the late 70's...brilliant. Culminating with 'Let's Dance' featuring the hot new guy from Texas, a young Stevie Ray Vaughan.

And wasn't he the first guy to raise capital by issuing a private bond for sale to the public based on the possible future earnings of his songs? The man is a genius.

[temp100]

Agreed. The Berlin period was my favourite era, and my favourite albums are Low and Station to Station, followed by Hunky Dory.

[Ernie Shiester]

Yeah - that's great stuff.

I really liked the 'Tin Machine' era as well. I thought that sound was phenominal - and so fresh at the time.

Bowie is an innovator. Consistently throughout his career, when he reaches a certain point of brilliance in his music, he strips it down and starts from scratch to come up with something different but equally brilliant.

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know major toms a junkie
Strung out in heavens high
Hitting an all-time low...

[enna]

god, i have a passion for him. he's my avatar.

i'm getting his face & lyrics from space oddity tattooed on me, most likely on my shoulder.

ashes to ashes, young americans, ziggy, suffragette city, modern love... and so many more are simply genius.

i would do anything for david bowie.

[Yoko OhNo]

you're squawking like a pink monkey bird

Drive-In Saturday and Prettiest Star kinda creep up on you

[High On PCP]

I like Bowie too.... but it sounds as if you have a genuine mancrush for him.

[Daucus Karota]

I'd go gay for Bowie.

Who wouldn't?

he is a genius...

but I'd never go gay for him!

[Spank666]

Under Pressure. 'Nuff said.

it's true man. i'm obsessed. he has shaped my adolescence

[Rumours]

Favorite Bowie songs (in no order):
- Lady Stardust
- Ziggy Stardust
- Fame
- Changes
- Life on Mars
- The Jean Genie
- Aladdin Sane

Maybe not the most "hardcore" list ever, but still the songs I could throw on repeat for eternity.

Huge fan of the early rocking Bowie. I got his cds from Space Oddity to Diamond Dogs. Haven't gotten into his later stages.
I love his longer songs like Cygnet Committee, Wild Eye Boy from Freecloud, Memory of a Free Festival, The Width Of A Circle, Quicksand, Time, Five Years and Sweet Thing-Candidate-Sweet Thing (Reprise).

Does he still write songs like these after the Diamond Dogs album? Cause it seems he goes more pop and dance instead of rock.

[CheeseMonkeys]

he is a genius...

but I'd never go gay for him!

That's because you already are gay.
