what is your favourite Dave Bowie song RIP :( fuck 2016 ?

beauty and the beast

Quite honestly, I like his electronic years best of all because that's when I actually got into him. I have known his music all my life, but wouldn't have considered myself a fan until about 1995 or so. With that, my favorite songs of his are I'm Deranged, Little Wonder, and Dead Man Walking. I also like Golden Years and How Does the Grass Grow? a whole lot.

I like stuff from his whole career. I just have a particular fondness for his 1995-2001 period.

My only gripe with him is Ashes to Ashes when those massive storm-cloud synth lines come in right at the end? I always want them to last for another 10 minutes. But then there's the perfect sonic magic trick....Bowie was the greatest left-field pop artist of all time. No one will beat him.

I kind of always respected The Cure in a similar vein as a artist/band who could write perfect pop singles but by a flip of a coin could write perfect dark tunes. I think Bowie and Smith have a lot in common.

I completely agree with all of this

That's cool. I'm tired and drunk. And signing out of watmm. Goodnight.

Golden Years for sure. Or Station to Station...or Stay. How about just that whole album?

5:15 The Angels Have Gone. All the way.

Heathen was a pretty cool album, though there were some obvious sour spots. Surprisingly got into The Next Day recently and really loving that as a whole.
