Also produced Lou Reeds Transformer with Mick Ronson. Classic.
Not a massive fan but like some of his mainstream stuff and these are my top 5 -
Young Americans Sound and Vision The Man Who Sold The World ( as mentioned before covered brilliantly by Nirvana and didn't know then it was a Bowie song ) Starman Changes
You could pick a different one every day, but for today:- Ashes to Ashes Life on Mars Station to Station Somebody up there likes me The Bewley Brothers
Impossible to name 5, so I've managed to whittle it down to 30.
Rock n Roll Suicide Ashes to Ashes Life on Mars Heroes Changes Suffragette City Space Oddity Ziggy Stardust Starman Be My Wife Rebel Rebel Fame John I'm Only Dancing Panic In Detroit The Jean Genie Diamond Dogs Golden Years Young Americans Sound and Vision Always Crashing in The Same Car Sorrow Boys Keep Swinging Watch That Man China Girl Let's Dance Five Years Moonage Daydream Lady Stardust Aladdin Sane Breaking Glass
kooks ,without question my no1 Rock n Roll Suicide Love You Till Tuesday Drive in Saturday Space Oddity The early years when i was young left amark on me,we would play this very late on Friday night before catching a bus in Keston to travel to away games.Loved those nights ,Tony Denton thanks for the goodtimes we had together. RIP Mr Starman.
I guess we are all doing the same and playing his stuff right now.
So I started with Memories of a Free Festival, because when I was at school and wondering whether he had more than Space Oddity somebody brought in what I remember was an Island compilation (but the obit. I read today never mentioned him being on Island.
And right now Strangers when we Meet, which I think is my favourite, seamless, effortless class.

I'm an alligator, I'm a mamapapa coming for you
She's a tongue twisting storm coming to the show tonight praying to the light machine
Pushing through the market square, so many mother crying
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
Still don't know what I was waiting for and my mind was running wild, a million dead-end streets
Didn't know what time it was, lights were low.
I'm up on the eleventh floor and I'm watching the cruisers below.
Do you remember a guy that's been in such an early song
etc etc etc
What a talent.
