I lost my old Bowie records to water damage. This box is pretty exciting.
Mine are all scratched up. I’ll get this asap.

It’s difficult to pick just one David Bowie song but I’ll pick “Suffragette City” because that song is catchy and impossible to get out of my head when I hear it (but in a good way).
My favorite Bowie song would have to be Life on Mars. It literally gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
There is nothing better than “Rock n’ Roll Suicide.” The song is nothing less than amazing.
Definitely Heroes.
I think explains why pretty well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYjBQKIOb-w
Favorite Bowie song, without a doubt, is “Stay” from this album
… Space Oddity, hands down.
Not gonna lie like Let’s Dance isn’t my jam, but I also love TVC15. And Boys Keep Swinging. And DJ.
i gotta go with “I’m Afraid Of Americans.” especially the version with trent reznor of NIN.
Heroes.
Space Oddity, Lady Stardust is a close second.
Certainly one of Bowie’s best albums, even if he doesn’t remember it.
Too many favorites…but right now I’m gonna say “Breaking Glass” from Low. Short, sweet, and makes you wanna groove out from the second that snare drum comes in at the beginning.
“Win” from YA is an underrated classic and my current favorite.
My favorite song of his is Thursday’s Child. I just love it.
“Magic Dance” anyone?
“Rebel Rebel” is my favoritest Bowie tune!
Still “The Width of a Circle” on Man Who Sold the World.
Definitely “Heroes”
Hooray for Bowie, hooray for space lizards. This is my comment. Pong chotty.
Stay…..
Cause you can never really tell
When somebody wants something you want too
There are plenty to choose from, but I’ll pick Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide.
It’s so hard to choose a favorite Bowie song… Station to Station has Stay and Word on a Wing tied for first, I’ll say
Space Oddity, ’cause I’m a big space nerd.
Where’s my option to delete this comment? Shady stereogum. Shady.
“Breaking Glass,” baby!
Bowie is my Hero, cause he’s a Queen Bitch, all the time Changes with China Girl. I love Andy Warhol like him and Ziggy Stardust and the spider from Mars are my best friends. I’m Afraid of Americans too but I believe in the Starman … otherwise I can commit a Rock n Roll Suicide.
P.S. The first album of Joy Division in honour of Warszawa*
I love Bowie, that’s it! and I’m only dancing, he turns me on, but I’m only dancing…
Gotta be Fame!
Favorite song is either Ashes to Ashes or The Man Who Sold The World…I’m going with the latter.
It’s really hard to pick just one as a favorite, but I always seem to come back to Quicksand, so I guess that’s gotta be the one for me.
My vote goes for Heroes… just for one day.
From the first guitar notes to the final string hit, definitely “Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide.”
It’s always hard for me to pick… as of right now, my favorite is probably Space Oddity, but that’s likely to change by tomorrow.
Moonage Daydream!
Changes*
Life on Mars. No question.
little wonder
My fav is probably Teenage Wildlife
Sound and Vision is my favorite.
Panic in Detroit
SOUND & VISION
or Oh You Pretty Things!
Oh! You Pretty Things
Favorite Bowie song is very hard but I’d probably have to pick anything off of “Never Let Me Down”.
Just kidding, its “Joe the Lion.”
Sound and Vision or Life on Mars.
Give it to me! Had this album had a few more songs it would be my favorite Bowie album.
I’m partial to “Jean Genie”, or maybe “Starman”
Fave Bowie song is a tough one, but probably Sound and Vision or Sweet Thing. And keep the contests coming :)
5 Years!
“Oh, You Pretty Things!” would have to be my number one. David Bowie reminds me of the babe.
I think “Golden Years” is pretty much my favorite. I can’t really pinpoint why but I know I love the melody.
My absolute favorite Bowie song is “Queen Bitch”. I once used it in an art project. I love how upbeat it is and the increasing tension of the chorus.
Quicksand. Though to me, Hunky Dory my favorite Bowie album and a perfect album all around
Hunky Dory is DEFinitely my favorite as well.
As for my favorite song, I absolutely love ‘Life on Mars’. Such a huge melody in the chorus. Undeniable.
Hard to choose.. “Space Oddity”.
At this point in my life, “Modern Love”
I love that Nirvana song that David Bowie covered back in the 70s.
Five Years. I never, ever get tired of hearing that song.
“Life on Mars”
“Five Years.” Man, that song’s good.
Soul Love, the perfect pop song
Life on Mars. But Five Years, Queen Bitch, Aladdin Sane, and Heroes are close.
there are so many great ones, but at the moment i’d say moonage daydream.
Queen Bitch.
I absolutely LOVE John I’m Only Dancing. And Heroes. And Five Years. Sorry. I couldn’t decide!
she shock me cold.
she shook me cold.
Young Ameeeeeeeericans, Young Ameeeeeeeericans, etc.
Modern Love is my fav <3
Space Oddity is my favoritest favorite David Bowie song.
“Young Americans”
Heroes gets me everytime. I love Bowie.
Bowie’s version of “Wild As The Wind” will be my wedding song when I get married. Perfect.
My favorite is actually Station to Station the song, all 10-odd minutes of it. This is my favorite album of his
OK, everyone is gonna laugh but I really like “Tumble And Twirl” from Tonight. Please give me this box so I can maintain my self-respect.
I love Oh You Pretty Things!
Space Oddity / Heroes!!!
believe it or not, “station to station” has always been on my david bowie top 5 favorite songs. and, since it came out, with “bring me the disco king” (from ‘reality’). i hope i get the box ;)
So many from which to pick, an almost impossible choice. But I’ll go with a recent discovery to me: Conversation Piece, a lovely lil non-album track from the Space Oddity era. Track it down!
Favorite Bowie song, “Song for Bob Dylan”…. i could’ve been lame and said “Lets Dance” though….
Facebook is the devil. Perhaps a twitter contest next time?
Oh, and my favorite Bowie song is “Always Crashing In The Same Car” hands down.
If I have to choose one… Heroes.
Right now, it’s Oh! You Pretty Things.
This box set looks fantastic.
I thought I did this earlier and I’d said Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide/Fame were tied for first, but I’m glad it didn’t work because I was completely neglecting China Girl which is definitely number 1 right now and for always maybe.
Oh come on, as if anybody is not saying Five Years.
Heroes
“sound and vision” is most definitely my favorite bowie song =]
Oh! You Pretty Things
Jean Genie!
Young Americans!
the bewlay brothers
XOXOXOXX
Don’t Sit Down.
Don’t Sit Down.
Don’t Sit Down.
*laughing*
I supose I hadn’t picked a favorite song. If it doesn’t have to be written by Bowie, then it’s his version of “Cactus” off of Heathen. If not, probably “John, I’m Only Dancing.”
How could it be anything else?
“Breaking Glass”
!
I think I might have to choose “Ashes to Ashes”.
Be My Wife
Life on Mars.
“Win”
Anything on “Young Americans” is pure gold[en years].
The most influential artist of all time.
