lonestar Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) [quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1452631103' post='2951907'] Impossible to choose, but listening to Let's Dance today I had forgotten how much I liked Cat People (Putting Out The Fire). Was sad to hear that Bowie had gone off that album, and yes, it was very 80's, but I still love it. [/quote] We used to play China Girl ( nice bass) and Heroes in a previous band.would have liked to have done Cat People. Great song. Not sure about the film, apart from Natassia Kinski of course Edited January 12, 2016 by lonestar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubbersoul Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Moonage Daydream or Sound and Vision. Or a whole bunch of others too numerous to mention. Always loved the Laughing Gnome as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Sound and Vision is such an innovative song, I mean, very sparse lyrics, that don't come in until halfway through..and a cracking groove to boot...Brilliant! AND still a hit single, the man had the touch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestar Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Listening to it on the way home today I had already forgotten how good The Next Day album is. Great drums and bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I got an email from a Bowie cover band - The Thin White Duke who are looking for a new bassist; I'm not looking for another band at the moment or would be all over this, so a good opportunity for someone on here maybe? They rehearse in Pease Pottage, near Crawley and just off the A23/M23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 This cracker and Lets Dance. The Thin White Duke being my favourite of his many guises. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9kuNMdUq_0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubinga5 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Nile Rodgers groove/production is evident. he was the most successful musical chameleon.

Annoying Twit Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Not a song, but I've been listening to a lot of Bowie over the past few days. Black Tie White Noise is an album that I bought when it came out, but it sort of disappeared into my collection and didn't come out very often. I've played it a few times lately and it has very much grown in my estimation. It does have some outright pop on it and Wedding Song isn't the best starter, but IMHO as an album it works well as an album overall.

[/quote] I've been revisiting Bowie too and reminding myself of some of his best work. Fascination from Young Americans is top of my list today; awesome vocals, really impressive. I'm also going to purchase the two Tin Machine albums which I never got round to investigating. Buddha Of Suburbia is another great album that is worthy of a revisit.

Sausages Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I have always been obsessed by Width of a Circle from The Man Who Sold the World album. Tony Visconti on bass pukka! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Again, not my favourite. No way I can choose a favourite. But, a song that I somehow missed even though I did buy the album. Untitled No. 1. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hxkwaXaGKI[/media] Is that a fretless bass or a keyboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Been listening to this track a lot today. Absolutely fecking awesome! One of the most haunting videos I have ever seen and the music is simply beautiful. Reminiscent of a meeting between Air and Scott Walker... Maybe a bit of Mogwai thrown in too?
