NEW - Binky's Bowie Top 31 Assistance #2 (1 Viewer)

[New Binky the Doormat]

PLEASE SELECT 3 OF THE ABOVE 7 (IF YOU LIKE THAT MANY)

looking for some input on my Bowie top 31 list - I can already tell you that as much as I appreciate his later stuff - really finding it hard to get much if any of his later stuff this high in comparison, I am really trying to squeeze at least one representative song in from as many of his albums as I can - but Alladdin Sane, Ziggy and Diamond Dogs are gonna dominate.

I added a "Queen B****" on behalf of @kupcho1 ...

This is 2 of 2 posts of six/seven songs - looking to get the total top 6 out of these 13 total but breaking it up for easier digestion.

I should have read the instructions first.

Also you’re kind of spoiling the reveal of your list by doing these polls. I think you should just trust your instincts. Bowie has 70 songs that could be Top 31 so any list will be great.

we get to see/hear some songs that may not make it and I'm just getting some feedback to include in my consideration

I'm not just taking the rankings from the votes straight up - but they will be an important part of what I consider when I make the final list - so the results don't clearly reveal what will make it and what won't

live a little doc!

DJ is missing as a poll option.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Queen B has that great Mick Ronson riff, I went with that one first.

 

[Eephus]

Voted for DJ and QB.

Agree that Lodger is underrated. It lacks some of the ambition of the other two Berlin albums but it takes those sounds and brings them back to pop song structures. I don't think Bowie released a better album until Blackstar (although I'm very fond of Outside and Black Tie White Noise)

hate to say it, but at this point I do not have a song from Blackstar in the top 40 at the moment - it's a striking piece of work and especially meaningful since it's about what he knew was his impending death ...

anyone want to talk me into Lazarus or the title track?

 

[massraider]

The album is called Let's Dance, and they are both singles, but Modern Love was a much, much better song.

The Next Day is more of a songs album while Blackstar is an album album. It would be a heavy listen even if Bowie hadn't up and died when it came out.

They’re both great - it would be hard to get them into my Top 31 but that speaks more to his so deep catalogue than commentary on those songs.

title track AND video is killer.

You know how I feel about Fascination. I also voted for Fame and DJ but I'd be happy to see any of these in your 31.

I reckon I'd pick the following three songs...

1. Queen ***** - I like all of the Hunky Dory album.
2. America - His rendition of this song during the 9/11 concert has always stood out in my mind and .
3. Fame - funky

Modern Love is my favorite from the Let's Dance album.

1-Queen B
2-DJ- A few gems off Lodger that I really love
3-Fashion

For me Lazarus would easily be in my top 30 and I adore Dollar Days
