Short story: A freind of mine, Matt, is a huge David Bowie fan. He was at his Uncles house in NYC and was looking at some photos on the wall. He saw one of a dinner party. David Bowie was there. Standing next to Bowie was a five year old Matt.

There's a tough question. My favorite of the moment has to be "Moonage Daydream".

Any song on the albums recorded with Mick Ronson on guitar:

Albums:1970-1972
The Man Who Sold the World
Hunky Dory
Space Oddity
Ziggy Stardust

My favorite single song is perhaps one he wrote
for Ian Hunter (Mott the Hoople): "All the Young Dudes"

Tie for my favorite album between Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust

"Diamond Dog" was my CB handle when I drove a truck, so that's obviously one of them. There's just too many to list.

Best Bowie song recorded by another artist: "All the young dudes" by Mott the Hoople. Singer Ian Hunter later formed Hunter-Ronson with the aforementioned Mick Ronson and did some interesting stuff too.

Under Pressure is great, I just wish people would assume it was David Bowie rather than Vanilla Ice when I play it at work. *sigh*

I won't even try to list all the awesome songs he's put out. Some of the best, most long-lived music ever....
