David Bowie: Top 10 Songs (x3)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Is it possible to distill David Bowie's massive output--27-plus albums, hundreds of songs--into a top 10 list? They said we were crazy, but we did it anyway.
No matter what we include or leave out, there will be miles of controversy over the picks. Bowie's prodigious output started with his self titled in 1967 but he really broke through with Space Oddity from 1969. Hunky Dory gave us Life on Mars? and Changes. Ziggy further catapulted him into the stratosphere with Starman, Suffragette City, Moonage Daydream... and then he just kept going. Jean Genie, Rebel Rebel, Young Americans, Fame, Heroes, Ashes to Ashes, Let's Dance, China Girl... it's a long list of hits and that's only the half of it.
With so many to choose from, you won't be surprised to find that there isn't a lot of carryover on the three lists. Did any song make all three? You'll have to watch and find out.
For our patrons, we also released our 11-20 list, which you can find on our Patreon channel below.
You can hear any of these tracks by checking out our Spotify playlist: open.spotify.c...

This is a tremendous list. Every song here has been among my top 10 at some point in my life.
I share Five Years Life on Mars Heroes and The Jean Genie with you, the latter having what must be the dirtiest guitar riff ever! Oh yeah.
@@drdavid1963 Check the New York Dolls Personality Crisis, Vietnamese Baby or Looking For A Kiss for Johnny Thunders' dirty riffs - their debut album came out in 1973 but they already performed those songs by the time Bowie came to New York. They are a clear influence on Aladdin Sane.
PS - The New York Dolls debut album was produced by The Todd.
I love to see red sails is getting the appreciation it deserves

@@eljac63 Hah, couldn't let Tin Machine slide, love that first album
With Joe's love of "It's No Game," no one can accuse him of never going for "out there" music.
Kudos to Joe for letting his freak flag fly this week, by showing some love for Scary Monsters and "It's No Game". Next thing you know, he'll be listening to TV on the Radio and the Modern Lovers.
My Top 10 Bowie # 1 - TVC 15 # 2 Panic In Detroit # 3 Fashion # 4 Station To Station # 5 D.J. # 6 Be My Wife #7 Ashes To Ashes # 8 Rebel Rebel # 9 Fame & # 10 Heroes. ✌
Ranking Bowie albums was a tough exercise. Ranking Bowie songs? Next to impossible.
I don't even know if these are the best Bowie songs. I'm just picking 10 songs I'm into this week.
1. Heroes (Single Version). Great example of production elevating a song. It's a pretty simple song about Tony Visconti cheating on his wife. But, Fripp's wild guitar soundscapes and Bowie's gated vocal effect take make it epic.
2. Teenage Wildlife (SM). Not exactly Heroes part 2, but it seems like Bowie and Fripp were aiming for that.
3. Suffragette City (ZS). Cool, almost proto-punk song. I like the "Hey Man" motif on the verses.
4. Win (YA). Just a really cool tune. It's really laid back and Bowie's vocals are great on it.
5. Modern Love (LD). I think this is probably Bowie's most immediately catchy song. Great drum beat and awesome vocals.
6. Rebel Rebel (DD). Iconic guitar riff and presages the Replacements' "Androgynous" with it's lyrics.
7. Blue Jean (Tonight). The pillar of greatness on an otherwise meh album.
8. Boys Keep Swinging (Lodger). Catchy number with Bowie tackling gender politics. Also, there's a mind-bending guitar solo from Adrien Belew.
9. Panic in Detroit (AS). I always loved the tribal beat on this. Apparently, Iggy Pop's stories of the 1967 Detroit Riots inspired the song.
10. Station to Station (STS). It's not the side effects of the cocaine, I'm thinking that it must be love. Fresh off a bell pepper and a tall glass of milk, Bowie churns out another masterpiece.

For most of my life Rebel Rebel was my favorite song from anyone, anywhere (1975-2010). In the last few years it has slid down my list due to overexposure. It felt odd leaving it off, but there are about 30 songs for which I could say the same thing.
@@markgatica12 I get what you're saying. There's a lot of Bowie tunes that I've just heard too many times. "Young Americans" kind of fits that bill for me. It's a good song, I've just heard it too many times. "Space Oddity" too.
I would agree that it's impossible to come up with a Bowie top 10. I basically capitulated.
@@179rich I think you could just randomly generate 10 Bowie songs, and unless it ended up being the segues from Outside and the covers from Tonight, it would be pretty decent.
Superb entry EdG. Really thorough. Great songs, and nice summary of your reasoning - I enjoyed
All great choices! My list:

Solid
The One & Only David Bowie -
I thought I could fit I’m Afraid Of Americans
But it didn’t make it .. the music video is so 90s it almost hurts 😆 Down to David & Trent’s matching facial hair
My Top 10:
1. I’m Deranged (The perfect combination of everything Bowie - the lyrics, vocals and piano parts over the electronic beats) Also, Lost Highway really got under my skin and this is featured on the soundtrack. Thankful to have seen it on the big screen.
2. Suffragette City
3. John, I’m Only Dancing
4. Heroes
5. The Hearts Filthy Lesson
6. Breaking Glass
7. Space Oddity
8. Girl Loves Me (Poignant F bombs)
9. Queen Bitch
10. I Would Be Your Slave (Heathen is my favorite album cover)
If you haven’t heard these songs, please check them out - Bowie’s vocals add a lot of Magic:
1. Without You I’m Nothing (feat. Bowie) - Placebo (Tick - Tock - Tick)
2. American Landfill (feat. Bowie) - Kristeen Young
P.S. - I could feel the passion in yesterday’s
Video - it was amazing! Hosts & Participants Alike - I hope y’all know what a special thing this channel is.. I appreciate everyone’s insights so much
1. Life on Mars
2. Ashes to Ashes
3. Station to Station
4. Lady Grinning Soul
5. Look Back in Anger
6. Sound and Vision
7. Ziggy Stardust
8. Scary Monsters
9. Soul Love
10. Stay
Dang that was a tough list. Probably half would change if I did a list tomorrow. Some songs didn't make my list because overexposure over time has diminished their impact (Space Oddity, Changes, and Heroes are prime examples) although they are amazing songs. I watched the whole album ranking video which was a marathon, but an enjoyable one. You guys have covered most of my favorites at this point. A Kinks ranking is the last of the epic dinosaurs you have yet to tackle unless you did it and it slipped by me. Hope it's in the queue.
Love your picks of Watch That Man, China Girl, Fame, Suffragette City, Space Oddity, Life On Mars, Moonage Daydream, Red Sails, TVC15, Young Americans, Let’s Dance, Aladdin Sane & especially HEROES!
My top10:
1. This is not America
2. Rebel Rebel

8. Station to Station
9. The Man Who Sold The World
10. Warszawa
This could be a Top100....Really great artist
Greetings from Canary Islands.
Not possible to choose a top ten Bowie songs so I will choose the top ten songs that affected or changed me when I first heard them.
Starman - watching David put his arm around Mick Ronson on Top of the Pops , so homoerotic it shocked my parents. Which was great.
Life on Mars? - played it over and over again. Took me to another place.
Drive in Saturday - Ziggy watching vids, trying to procreate? Nothing else sounded like it.
Jean Genie - Ziggy plays the blues.
All the young dudes - He gave this song to Mott, who would do that now? Bowies version is also stunning.
Always crashing in the same car - surreal and evocative. All those machine like sounds and bowies voice.
Heroes - The ultimate Bowie in Berlin, blew me away.
Ashes to Ashes - Bowie returned to his best. Classic accompanying video.
Let’s Dance - I must have hummed this song more months. Stunning.
Blackstar - He died, I cried. But he left this masterpiece as a gift.

Bowie was so far ahead of his time. I guess it is easy to come up with top thirty songs - Bowie was so prolific and epic.
Here's a Top 10 from the top of my head, in no particular order:
1. Hang On to Yourself
2. Sweet Thing/Candidate
3. Starman
4. Be My Wife
5. A New Career in a New Town
6. Always Crashing in the Same Car
7. Red Sails
8. Black Country Rock
9. Changes
10. Drive-In Saturday
#1 Life On Mars?
#2 Heroes
#3 Moonage Daydream
#4 Rock and Roll Suicide
#5 The Width of a Circle
#6 Quicksand
#7 Look Back In Anger
#8 Time
#9 Suffragette City
#10 Space Oddity
10. Panic in Detroit - Such an amazing riff and some great Bowie lyrics
9. Queen Bitch - Campy, glam fun. Kicks so much ass
8. Cat People - Inglorious Basterds helped, but the SRV solo and one of my favorite Bowie vocals ever. Great energy
7. Sound and Vision - Everything Jason said and more.
6. Lady Grinning Soul - The menacing piano line and the ghostly vocals from Bowie are amazing , but mick ronsons guitar lines on it seal the deal.
5. Young American’s - such a great groove, great performance and overall just one of the coolest songs ever recorded.
4. Five Years - The start to one of the greatest albums ever made and sets the tone perfectly. Just absolutely beautiful.
3. Rebel, Rebel - Up there with Satisfaction for one of the greatest rock and roll songs ever written.
2. Modern Love - such a fun vibe and never fails to make anybody smile or dance or sing along. The sax coming in a little bit in is just tremendous.
1. Heroes - The closest that any song has ever come to pure perfection. Everything about it is constructed to absolute perfection, while simultaneously showing incredible emotion from Bowie’s vocals. It’s simple and complex, happy and sad, Phil Spector pop and experimental all at the same time. Just beautiful
This is the hardest top ten I’ve ever had to compile cause he has so many incredible songs that have changed music. One of the greatest artists ever.
All great lists - there really are no wrong answers here with such a strong catalog, are there. My favorite Bowie song - the one that has always haunted me most, is "The Bewlay Brothers" But how could you be disappointed here? Also "Rock and Roll Suicide." It is Bowies' range WITHIN A SINGLE SONG that you get more from Bowie than possibly anyone. His loss only gets bigger - because you never knew where his genius would take him next.
My 10 favorite David Bowie tracks are,
1. Starman
2. Under Pressure (his duet with Queen)
3. Space Oddity
4. Sound and Vision
5.Let's Dance
6. China Girl
7. The Jean Genie
8. TVC- 15
9. Unwashed and Slightly Dazed
10. Cygnet Committee.
These are in no particular order. I do tend to favor the earlier stuff, though I am beginning to appreciate his more recent stuff more.
Just 10 is REALLY hard as it changes all the time but for now:
Conversation Piece is a new favorite.
10. Drive in Saturday
9. Lady Stardust

@@markgatica12 no I have not. I will have to check it out. Thank you for suggestion

I wanted to sneak the very underrated This Is Not America onto my Top 10 but it's technically a Pat Metheny / Lyle Mays song with Bowie on vocals. Bowie , did ✍ it with Pat. Great song & solid film as well.

10. Dark Star
My apartment in Berlin is just around the corner from where Bowie lived. Nothing captures the feel of that incredible city in the 70s/80s like Heroes. His late song Where are We Now revisits the city and recalls all the people he knew who had died. I think he knew he had cancer when he wrote it. The film clip is very odd and very moving -- like everything Bowie did, I guess.
Great diverse lists guys!
My boring top 10 from a very casual Bowie fan:
1. Rebel Rebel
2. Life on Mars?
3. "Heroes"
4. Fashion
5. Moonage Daydream
6. Breaking Glass
7. Oh! You Pretty Things
8. Suffragette City
9. Golden Years
10. Fame
"Putting Out Fire (With Gasoline)" is my absolute favorite... LOVED the remake of "Cat People" as well as the 1942 original.
"Fame"
"Suffragette City"
"Heroes"
"Panic In Detroit"
"Space Oddity"
"Major Tom" (LOVED Peter Schilling's take on it too)

10 Conversation Piece (Heathen bonus and Toy) this song whacked me in the ears with its beauty when I bought Heathen on the day if it's release. We are still in love and im thrilled it's on the Toy album too.

1 You Feel So Lonely You Could Die The Next Day🏆 the lyrical imagery alone is breathtaking, so powerful and almost prophetic. But it's the sheer grim heartfelt emotion in there from Bowie. That doesn't happen very often and when it does like this....❤️🔥🖤🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🎸🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯👌❤️🔥🙅🤠

If you ever run out of ideas for a side three, in yesterday's video, Joe mentioned how he was turned off by the cover of "Reality". You could do worst album covers, best album covers, most deceptive album covers, etc. Just trying to help you out!!
I think the cover of "The Next Day" was his worst, in my opinion. I mean, they literally just took the cover of "Heroes" and put a giant sticker with "The Next Day" written on it over Bowie's face.
@@gemini2012100 I didn't mean just Bowie album covers, I meant all album covers in music, but Bowie does have plenty to choose from himself!!
@@adamhasideas6813 I agree.
@@adamhasideas6813 I do like your idea about best album covers, worst album covers, etc.

There are too many songs to choose from, so I'm going to list songs or alternate versions of songs I think more people should hear. Bring Me the Disco King (Loner Mix) with Maynard James Keenan from the Underworld soundtrack, I'm Afraid Of Americans V1, The Hearts Filthy Lesson (Trent Reznor Alternative Mix), The Laughing Gnome and Liza Jane by Davie Jones & The King Bees. They are all searchable and worth the find.

Sorry, too many songs.
I ❤️ David Bowie.
Which day do I want to hear a random David Bowie song??
Always.
Great interesting stuff.
No one is bored.
Beautiful list, there are too many-
There are later Bowie tunes that were excellent (90s +)…but what would you leave out? All three lists were filled with classics.
