Jimmyhoneyman on David Bowie

You can read my blog about really loving the alien from earlier this month elsewhere.  I have several old Mojo's that attempt name the essential Bowie tracks. I tried to ignore that as I look at my top ten in no particular order.

1. Ziggy Stardust-  honorable mention for the Bauhaus version

2. Ashes to Ashes- maybe the best example of ice and funk

3. Modern Love- get's me to the church on time.

4. Time Will Crawl-  I used say "Never let me down" was my fave off Glass Spider but this is the current choice.

5. John I'm Only Dancing- The Alladin Sane version literally made me cum ( I was kissing my first girlfriend at the time). The Spiders blow our minds.

6. Moonage Daydream (Live)- The version in the Ziggy Movie is Ronno's most rocking moment.

7. Heroes- Seek the original where has the verse "you - you can be mean and me I'll drink all the time."

8. Wild is the Wind- I know this is Nina Simone's but his version like with "My Death" is better.

9. Space Oddity- Never gets old.

10. You belong in Rock and Roll- I liked Tin Machine.  He summed it up nicely.

 

If I did this tomorrow, it would probably be totally different.
