It's dawned on me just how good music can sound through decent kit............. just been listening to Bowies hits and I've got to say things sound real cool through my new speakers (although one speaker doesn't bloomin work)

But anyway, what's Bowies best ????

My top 3

Life on Mars - Golden Years - Ashes to Ashes 

Picking one tune.............it has to be ..................................

ASHES TO ASHES

What say you?

I agree with Ashes to Ashes as my favorite Bowie song. However, I believe that sonically "Bring Me The Disco King" is the most impressive thing to play on BeoLab 5s. Queen *** is also pretty good.

Well, my top 3:

1. This Is Not America (Live: BBC Radio Theatre);

2. Young American;

3. Golden Years.

And it is quite difficult to make this decision =)

1. Hero's

2. All The Young Dudes

3. Life On Mars.

I'll probably change my mind by the end of the day though, there are just too many classics to choose from.

I prefer the Mott the Hoople version of All the Young Dudes. David Bowie wrote it for them, then later performed the song in his own live shows.
