Favorite Bowie song.

Of all the songs I've ever listened to, by any artist, there's only one which makes me feel emotional for no apparent reason. By which I mean it's not attached to any life event, it doesn't stir a memory to cause the emotion, it's just the song itself that does it. That song is Heroes, so it has to be that one for me. As someone as said already, when you start trying to pick a song it hits home just how many fantastic songs he gave us.

Changed my mind whilst dreaming of Bowie songs last night. Thru These Architect's Eyes. A storming track.

Outside is a fantastic album. With some judicious editing it could be up there with his best. As well as Architect, I love Oxford Town, Heart's Filthy Lesson, Voyeur (already posted above).

This has just pipped Where Are We Now? as my favourite on The Next Day. Some lovely fretless from GAD, read a bit about her MTD bass here http://www.singingbassist.com/gail-ann-dorsey-singing-bassist/

Ashes to Ashes, i still have the single with the pic sleeve from when it came out.
always loved that bass line
but the best version of all of them i have heard is this one,
you can see it on daves face at 4:43 he is just loving it,
quite right as well the band are all on it...
with the perfect iconic stingray sound.
Enjoy..

Indeed. I saw him on the Outside tour and he was fantastic. I'm Deranged is another cracker.

My choice here would be Life On Mars. Not just my favourite Bowie song, but one of my favourite songs, full stop. It gives me shivers just to type out the title.
