I had Diamond Dogs  on 8track and would drive around in my green Chevy Vega (1974) blasting it, especially this song.

Custom, (and everyone else) you able to narrow down your top 10 favourite Bowie sings.

 

I've been working on my list ever since Entre posted his favs in another thread.

 

I think I’ve got a close list, that would change from day to day, of course.

OK, I couldn’t narrow it down to 10, so here’s a dozen…

 

“Always Crashing the Same Car” (from “Low” 1977)

 

“Ashes to Ashes” (from “Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)” 1980)

 

“Battle for Britain (The Letter)” (from “Earthling” 1997)

 

“Bus Stop” (from the debut Tin Machine album in 1989)

 

“China Girl” (from “Let’s Dance” 1983)

 

“Conversation Piece” (unreleased version from the abandoned  “Toy” album that was to be released in March of 2001)

 

“Five Years” (from “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars” 1972)

 

“I Can’t Stop Thinking About Me” (Live version from “VH1 Storytellers” 1999)

 

“Life on Mars?” (from “Hunky Dory” 1971)

 

“Pablo Picasso” (Cover of The Modern Lovers’ song from “Reality” 2003)

 

“Thursday’s Child” (from “‘hours…” 1999)

 

“The Width of a Circle” (1973 live version from “Ziggy Stardust the Motion Picture Soundtrack”)

Lol, it’s a very hard task, I haven’t truly submitted myself to it yet!

 

One thing I know is I need to get into the later 80s and 90s stuff. Big blind spot for me. I basically stopped at Let’s Dance in my initial run of collecting.

Over the years “EART HL I NG” (1997), “‘hours…” (1999), Heathen (2002) and “Reality” (2003) have become my favourite run of Bowie albums.

 

I know you’d love them as well.

Heathen is the one exception for this period. I do have that one and though I don’t spin it much I love it.

I find that stretch to be an incredibly underrated run. I always find myself returning to Earthling, Heathen, and Reality. hours... never had a huge impact on me.

Give it a couple of years and 'hours... will be the album that you will be able to relate to most, lol.
