Impossible. All of his best songs are pretty much the same level of greatness. This isn't like most artists where there's a clear standout or a few.

 

but anyway some of my favorites are

 

Life On Mars

Five Years

Soul Love

Ziggy Stardust

Rock And Roll Suicide

Aladdin Sane

Time

Drive-In Saturday

We Are The Dead

Diamond Dogs

Rebel, Rebel

Young Americans

Fame

Station To Station

Golden Years

Word On A Wing

TVC15

Sound And Vision

Always Crashing In The Same Car

Breaking Glass

Subterraneans

Heroes

Fantastic Voyage

Move On

It's No Game (Part 1)

I don't know. Too many great songs from Bowie. Tonight, these are my top 5.

  1. Width of a Circle
     
  2. Moonage Daydream ( live version ... see below ) ** will always be in my top 5. I saw this tour and this song brought a tear to my eye. It was so good. You know the feeling.
     
  3. Changes
     
  4. Panic in Detroit
     
  5. The Man Who Sold the World

*Conversation Piece (Toy)

 

"I took this walk to ease my mind

To find out what's gnawing at me

Wouldn't think to look at me

That I've spent a lot of time in education

It all seems so long ago

I'm a thinker, not a talker

I've no one to talk to anyway".

 

*Can't Help Thinking About Me (David Bowie with The Lower Third)

 

"Remember when we used to go to church on sundays?

I lay awake at night, terrified of school on mondays.

Oh, but it's too late now,

I wish I was a child again,

I wish I felt secure again".

 

*Let Me Sleep Beside You (David Bowie)

 

"Your darkened eyes throw mystery.

But your lips are void of history

You could not imagine that it could happen this way, could you?

I will give you dreams and I'll tell you things you'll like to hear".

 

*Seven (Hours)

 

"I got seven days to live my life, or seven ways to die".

 

*China Girl (Let's Dance)

 

"You know, I'll give you television.

I'll give you eyes of blue.

I'll give you men's who want to rule the world".
