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.

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

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Edit: I just remembered, I also have a chart for my ranking of all of Bowie's albums here (with an outdated top songs list)

Edit 2: no longer outdated list.

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.

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