My favorite artist of all time. Rip legend

I miss Bowie so much. He truly was a personal hero. I would also recommend Aurora's beautiful live cover of Life on Mars.

I’m a teenager and I can still vouch that Bowie is the greatest singer of all time. I’m still yet to hear a song of his that I don’t like

I also really like the differences in the Life On Mars performance, love artists who change up songs a bit over time

I saw him live three times.  The first time was in 1983 on the "Serious Moonlight" tour.  He was perfection vocally.  He hits notes that night that made the audience of 53,000 fans gasp.  Last time was on the "Reality" tour in 2004.  Over 20 years later he was just as good as the first time I saw him.  He played a great set that night.  The encore was a highlight as he performed three songs from my favorite album Ziggy Stardust.  They were "Starman", "Suffragette City" and "Ziggy Stardust".  When he sang "Ziggy played guitar" at the end of the concert it was a moment I'll always cherish!  There are a lot of artists/bands I love, but David will always be number one.  A brilliant songwriter, great vocalist and genuinely great guy.  In spite of having an incredible intellect, he always seemed down to earth and approachable in his interviews.  I miss him and his new music greatly.

That 1980 line-up of musicians remains one of the great "What ifs?" of Bowie's stellar career: What if he had toured with them to promote the Scary Monsters album? Tragically, those plans were shelved following John Lennon's murder that December, which not only robbed him of a dear friend but also prompted Bowie to retire from public life for a year, after the police informed him he was second on the assassin's kill list. He then switched music for moviemaking, starring in The Hunger and Merry Xmas Mr. Lawrence, and then came back in HUGE style with Let's Dance in 1983, which made him a global megastar. His vocals on Wild is the Wind, Sweet Thing, and Lady Grinning Soul are arguably his greatest ever, but you should also react to his version of Heroes at Live Aid -- it's a masterclass in vocal performance.

A great reaction to my favourite artist. Bowie was an iconic genius. His Ziggy album is my all time favourite and I have been listening to that since 1972!

Five Years and Oh You Pretty Things are also on video from this era fyi. I love how Ziggy looked kinda punk in his earliest incarnations. I adore him.

Please do more of this. Station to Station and Time would be amazing.

This is what is great about the internet, yes as you said we have access to all the great iconic singers/bands. But also as an older guy , the joy of seeing beautiful young people like you discovering this music. I'm a huge Bowie fan, I grew up and live in the same area as he did, although he was about 17 years older. I saw him live 4 times. A great performance to see is this "Heroes" video, it also shows David's sense of humour at the start https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsYp9q3QNaQ

So many to choose from but Changes for me springs to mind as 1 of his most iconic, even to point of appearing on Shrek 2 soundtrack and Lindsey Lohan sang it on movie Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen that she did at the time which of course if needed was proof David Bowies appeal and popularity was and always has been multigenerational.

In terms of live performances, there is a video on youtube of Bowie doing the song Ziggy Stardust in the last official Ziggy-Stardust-Persona concert and it is fantastic; he is vocally on fire and looking incredible in his original Kansai Yamamoto outfit. I would recommned any song from that concert honestly, a few of them are up online like Moonage Daydream and Rock n' Roll Suicide, all excellent. :)

For lesser known albums, I think Lodger deserves a fair shake as the most underappreciated of the Berlin Trilogy (the other two being Low and "Heroes"), any song from that would be interesting but I love the second half in particular - anything after and including DJ -  and the opener Fantastic Voyage.

In terms of individual songs, Time from Aladdin Sane is severly overlooked and I consider it one of Bowie's best lyrically and tonally speaking, it's very cabaret style and the production is fantastic for bringing that concept to life. Similarly "Teenage Wildlife" from Scary Monsters & Super Creeps, honestly has some of Bowie's best vocals in terms of pure emotion.

My favourite artist of all time hunkydory is my favourite album of his and have them all

i have seen bowie 8 times live over the  years  from 78 to 2003 never disappointed  i cannot pick just one song  but Hunky Dory  was the album that got me into him as a kid back in 73  in England at that time we had never seen anything like him before .

I think another reason for the key change here is that, by this point, Bowie was entering his "crooning years" in which the focus was very much on deep notes and smooth vibrato.
He could still sing his old songs in their original key if he used his falsetto voice, but he preferred to belt out the high notes with all his power, and that's not easy to do!
So he had to lower the key in order to sound more macho or whatever he was going for at the time.

Hi Shelby, It's great to see your generation still tuning into David Bowie's early stuff, When you have 10 minutes to spare check out,   David Bowie - The Old Grey Whistle Test - 8 February 1972 - BEST QUALITY  It is uploaded by Tanaferry, The first song (Oh You Pretty Things) David plays the piano so i think you will enjoy it.

He was the most mesmerizing human

Look for the official vids for Life on Mars? (Mick Rock, 1973) and Starman from Top of the Pops, both available on YouTube. Mind. Blowing.

David Bowie, was a 🌟 Starman he was designated to teach us that there is indeed aliens UFOs. He knew this 30 years ago. God 🙏 and goddess bless him for his inspiration.

If you really want to be amazed, watch the live version of starman from the bbc theater or Glastonbury 2000, or the live version of life on mars at Glastonbury 2000 / reality tour 2003 album ... he really kept his feel and soul in his voice, even in his later touring years. I honestly think he sounded best in 1999-2003.
