Can't say i have one. At a pinch, Space Oddity is memorable. So i suppose Starman will suffice too. |

"Rock n roll suicide - heralded the end of ziggy and the Dawn of alladin sane"
Yep, I never got into Aladdin Sane as much....went back to his early stuff then from late 60's - Rubber Band, Uncle Arthur...but then Pinups, and Diamond Dogs bought me back into the 70s.... |

"china girl"
I had that album but never really got into that era Bowie....to be honest, I was a snotty New Romantic teen thought Bowie had sold down the river for commercial success with those early 80's songs....oh the arrogance of youth! |

Cunnilinguists brother actually changed his name to Aladdin Sane back in the 70's...another of Bowies 'alter ego's'.
Bowie is a genius to me...one bad song that he openly admits to...Lets dance...the rest...superb from all decades! |

Ziggy Stardust is on of THE greatest musical/theatrical creations to ever grace a stage in my oppinion.
I can't choose a favourite track because there are so many. |

"No-one seams to have mentioned The Jean Genie... up there amongst my fave Bowie tracks and rock tracks come to think about it."
If I had to choose that would be my fave. Always gets me up and shaking my thang wildly! |

Of course it is and it took me 3 attempts to get it so wrong I was that pissed.
What about the World of David Bowie with tracks like The Laughing Gnome etc I wonder if he cringes at that album now
