bowser
Quicksand (on Hunky Dory)
Erm.
Under Pressure - though usually down as a Queen song...
yeah - Qucksand
aaaaaaaahhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa, aaaaaaaaaaaaaahaha AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
queen bitch
what's that off? im sorry, i can't remember.
.
That's the other one on Hunky Dory I was gonna mention!
What you've said
plus basically everything off Hunky Dory & Ziggy Stardust.
Andy Warhol & Queen Bitch fo sure.
I really like LADY stardust
China Girl is good fun.
Without You I'm Nothing with Placebo is bloody marvellous - possibly only for a Placebo fan.
Queen Bitch.
Moonage Daydream.
Ashes to Ashes.
Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps).
im glad there is so much
Queen Bitch love.
tis a great song.
more
I love it too
how is ashes to ashes not on those comps??!?
I dunno.
from memory it's also not on the Best of DVD. Although it's frustratingly the backing music for the menus.
wow
"The video clip for "Ashes to Ashes" (1980) was one of the most iconic of the 1980s. Costing £250,000, it was at the time the most expensive music video ever made"
it.. doesn't look it!
It's better
than Dancing in the Street
Anything is
Including everything the Crazy Frog has ever made.
I nearly punched the screen when I noticed Bowie stoping halfway thru to pick up a can of Coke and drink it at the camera. But I told it was all for charity. So I have to forgive.
it is on
the best of bowie.
***LADY GRINNING SOUL***
--what a tune.
^ ^ ^
That one!
It's on the
Singles Collection which is my favourite CD(x2) ever
China girl for definite!
The weird
stuff on Low/Heroes!
Like, erm, "moss garden" and "V Scheinder" or whatever its called.
Be My Wife is a classic
Cracker Actor
The London Boys!!
..
that one about the sun machine
with a title I can't remember and sounds a bit like something off of jesus christ superstar.
^
Memory of a Free Festival
sun machine is going down
and we're gonna have a party... uh huh!
"When You Rock'n'Roll" with me
from Aladdin Sane.
Bits and pieces from his later stuff including "Heart's Filthy Lesson", "Strangers When We Meet" and "The Motel".
oh...
and "Teenage Wildlife" from Scary Monsters.
'Cygnet Committee'
or possibly 'Cracked Actor'.
Thursday's Child
and Conversation Piece (Reality version)
Shit
Rock'n'Roll with me is on Diamond Dogs. Fuck, I'll never live it down...I'll add "Strangers When We Meet" as well though.
It's
off Diamond Dogs, not Aladdin Sane
Why

within you
from labyrinth

...
Candidate
Sweet Thing (reprise)
Cant think
Lady Grinning Soul
off Aladdin Sane
I'll go for
"Five Years" off Ziggy Stardust and
"Putting Out Fire" (Theme from Cat People)
I'm Deranged
Strangers When We Meet
Hallo Spaceboy (ALBUM VERSION - dear god I fucking hate the single version that the Petshop Boys stomped all over)
Heart's Filthy Lesson (prefferably the Trent Reznor mix)
- all from the massively underrated but brilliant 'Outside'.
Lady Grinning Soul
-spookiest, most beautiful Bowie song ever!
And 'Rock and Roll With Me' is on Diamond Dogs, not Alaldin Sane. Sorry, I'm a geek!

I love the Be My Wife video
http://youtube.com/watch?v=kB7skYEv_EM
He looks totally out of it and pulls the best facial expressions.
I always think it's like Bowie being played by Steve Buscemi.
Tis my favorite video
across all space and time! It's Bowie doing his "I like Cocaine better than you" look. Awesome!
Either Steve
Buscemi or Dot Cotton....
how can i listen to you??!?!?
no cracked actor or repetition!
(but thanks :) )
A New Career in a New Town
(Side 2 of Low)
Cracked actor

I'm always baffled by people who don't think 'Hunky Dory' is Bowie's best album. And I don't give me this 'it's all subjective' malarkey. It clearly isn't in this case.
^
backward folk obviously
:D
you'd have a poiny if it wasn't
Low.
Better luck next time.
a point*
but I think I got my poiny across sufficiently.
there's a good cover
of I'm Waiting For The Man on the Almost Famous soundtrack.
Fashion!

Absolute Beginners
OK, that's my two posts for today, I'm off again!

Thanks for the recommendations
I picked up a lot of good suggestions from the Bowieologists on this forum. I agree with the folks who voted for Lady Grinning Soul, one of my favorites. Why not create imeem playlists and post the links? I made one with my favorites here:
