JMO, David Bowies's greatest song, especiallsy where he sang "the queer got sick at the sight of that".
It would be in my top 5 Bowie songs, maybe we have heard “Space Oddity” so many times, but I’d call that one up there as well. One would really have to study it, I saw someone who did post their favorite 5 Bowie songs.
Panic in Detroit is my favorite.
It was about one of the social justice warriors who helped stir trouble in Detroit. Also a rather revolutionary sound for its day.

I think his collaboration with Pat Metheny “This Is Not America” was his best vocal performance.
I’m going to listen to it. I’ve never heard it.
My favorite of his is Can You Hear Me.
Let’s Dance.
Not my favorite.
Heroes
Oh You Pretty Things
Young Americans
Golden Years
Rebel Rebel
Great song from my favorite album of his.
My iTunes says I play “It Ain’t Easy” a lot more than any other tho..
Wow.
Never before have I seen so many threads about a recently departed person.
Especially from a conservative board!
If anything else, I think it proves what an icon he was!
RIP, Mr. Bowie!
Most of us heard it for the first time in 1973, I had no idea until years later it actually came out in 1969.
You could make the case that outside of Elvis he was the biggest icon of the rock era, in terms of solo artists.
I know. I was really expecting a lot of Bowie-bashing. I’m pleasantly surprised...
I believe you may be right!
And it’s interesting that even given his sexuality or whatever, his general weirdness, he is so respected.
It shows he really did good stuff!
Well, not all of it was brilliant, but worth a try anyways!
