IdRatherBeSkiing's Top 20 (Sunday, June 21st, 2020 version)

That's a huge song for him. It wasn't necessarily one that you would hear on pop-radio, but it's one that surprises me that you hadn't heard.

It must have been on when your roommate was play Horse With No Name.

I was surprised too. They played it on a "70s @ 7" feature they have on a local FM (7 songs from the 70s @ 7). They play a couple songs that are a bit deeper then and this was one of them. It is rather unusual to hear 'new' music on a classic hits station. I have no idea how I missed it. It wasn't on his "Greatest Hits" CD I had either.
 
Once I find my **** list, I will continue it. But today I noticed I do not have a top 10 list for David Bowie. So I created one. The following songs are very honorable mentions in no particular order. I feel bad leaving them off the top 10 list but I only have 10 slots.
  • Ziggy Stardust
  • Golden Years[*}Suffragette City
  • Jean Genie
  • Rebel Rebel
  • Changes

Now the top 10. All are **** except for "Young Americans" which is ***.
10. Young Americans
9. Let's Dance
8. Space Oddity
7. China Girl
6. Blue Jean
5. Modern Love
4. Fashion
3. Starman
2. Ashes to Ashes
1. Heros

EDIT: I had "Changes" listed twice as an HR and @ #10. Corrected.

All great songs there.

I'd add:
Young Americans
Moonage Daydream
The Man Who Sold the World

I prefer his 70s songs to his 80s songs, but all good.

I am not familiar with the last 2. "Young Americans" was #10 but was left off the list in error.
 
1. Heart's Filthy Lesson
2. I'm Afraid Of Americans
3. Ashes To Ashes
4. Lazarus
5. Fame '90

Here to represent the post-80s Bowie!

#1 #2 and #4 are 1995, 1997 and 2015. My #6 song is probably "Killing A Little Time" which was released a year after his death in 2017.

I'm also a pre-"Let's Dance" fan of Bowie's 80s work like "Ashes To Ashes", "Under Pressure" (I didn't include this on my list, but it would be #1) and the somewhat shmaltzy but classic "Little Drummer Boy" w/ Bing.

I like some of his classic 70s songs too, but not as much as the above.

I used to really like "Let's Dance". But it has to be the most overplayed song of his even today and I am finding myself danced out.
 
I'm still good with Lets Dance.
Somehow I avoided the over-saturation.
His sound evolved sooooo much over the years, that it's hard for me to get completely burned out on his stuff.
