From Onater 11/16/2017 08:49 in What are the Top 10 Bowie songs?
Onater 11/16/2017 08:49 in What are the Top 10 Bowie songs?“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…”

I like it. Your Top 10 would be fairly close to mine. Outside is his only post-70s album that I really like, and would probably be in my top 10 also. But I'm always shocked at how poorly people think of Pinups. It's actually the best rock n roll he ever did. There's at least three or four songs that are better than anything on Aladdin Sane. And it has a similar sound to Aladdin sane but even more vibrant. I predict its reputation will grow over time. Because of the 4 or 5 great tracks on it. Which is more than many of his albums have. This is a fun chart though.
