So difficult to narrow down to 10...I could do a top 50 easy

1. Space Oddity
2. Under Pressure
3. Life On Mars?
4. Lady Stardust
5. Blackstar
6. Rock 'n' Roll Suicide
7. Drive-In Saturday
8. The Man Who Sold The World
9. The Width Of A Circle
10. Wild Is The Wind

Apologies to Low...probably my 2nd favourite Bowie album but no songs from it made this top 10. I guess it's the complete package that works for me there.

Oh crap I forgot Modern Love. That needs to go in there instead of Changes.

I find Bowie very playlist friendly even though I've never been a proper fan of his albums (don't dispute their quality I just have never really got into any except for Station to Station).

Anyway:

1. Word on a wing
2. Heroes
3. Under Pressure (with Queen) -sorry, I really like this!
4. Queen Bitch
5. Young Americans
6. Five Years
7. Ashes to Ashes
8. V2-Schneider
8. Space Oddity
9.You feel so lonely you could die
10. Changes

At some time I would have included Life on Mars but I got sick of it due to too many listens.

3. Space Oddity

It hurt to narrow down to 10, so here's 20 (which still hurt, just slightly less). It's pretty incredible that, even with all of 20 of these, there are still so many 5 star songs by him not here, among them many of his most famous songs ever (ie Starman, Changes, Ziggy Stardust). Really shows how great his entire discography is.

1. "Heroes" ("Heroes", 1977)
2. Young Americans (Young Americans, 1975)
3. Station To Station (Station To Station, 1976)
4. Life On Mars? (Hunky Dory, 1971)
5. Five Years (The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars, 1972)
6. A New Career In A New Town (Low, 1977)
7. Space Oddity (Space Oddity, 1969)
8. Diamond Dogs (Diamond Dogs, 1974)
9. Blackstar (Blackstar, 2016)
10. Lazarus (Blackstar, 2016)
11. I Can't Give Everything Away (Blackstar, 2016)
12. Warszawa (Low, 1977)
13. Subterraneans (Low, 1977)
14. Ashes To Ashes (Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps), 1980)
15. The Bewley Brothers (Hunky Dory, 1971)
16. Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime) (Single, 2014)
17. Lady Stardust (The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars, 1972)
18. The Man Who Sold The World (The Man Who Sold The World, 1970)
19. Sound And Vision (Low, 1977)
20. I'm Afraid Of Americans (Earthling, 1997)

Edit: I just remembered, I also have a chart for my ranking of all of Bowie's albums here (with an outdated top songs list)

Edit 2: no longer outdated list.

Is this because you don't have any other favorites or because you really really really like I'm afraid of Americans???

As you can probably tell from my list, I'm a pretty big fan of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars

I kind of realize now that I really should have put moonage daydream on my list. Oh well. Heh heh.

African Night Flight is actually one of my favorites too. Unlike most people, I like Lodger but don't like scary monsters. Lodger seems like just a much much better scary monsters. But even Bowie fans don't seem to like it much. Really not sure why.

My first answer would be any 10 songs from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust but that seems like cheating so I will say:

10. Rock 'n Roll Suicide
9. Aladdin Sane (1913-1938-197?)
8. Ashes to Ashes
7. Heroes
6. Subterraneans
5. Lazarus
4. Golden Years
3. Five Years
2. Sound and Vision
1. Life on Mars?

In my opinion, the most unique and powerful track in Bowie's discography is [i]Five Years[/i]. Just too memorable.
But [i]Queen Bitch[/i], [i]Young Americans[/i] and [i]Space Oddity[/i] come pretty close.
