So what's the most underrated song of his career?

My personal vote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avJt0SQec0I
>>
>>61763104

Jump They Say is up there, but for me it's either Strangers When We Meet or Untitled No 1.
>>
Be My Wife. It's the best song on Low but nobody ever mentions it.
>>
Let's Dance, or Dance, Magic Dance

OR China Girl

No, the one he did with John Lennon, Fame
>>
>>61763571
Everyone likes Fame.
>>
>>61763104
Never Let Me Down
>>
>>61763543
Sometimes you get so lonely...
>>
African Night Flight
>>
>>61763104
Has to be something he did in the 90s... Maybe A Small Plot of Land, Strangers When We Meet or anything from Hours...
>>
>>61763616
Lodger as a whole is underrated
Red Money is in my top 5 Bowie songs of all time.

>>61763594
The best song from one of his worst records. I agree, it's a great song.

>>61763543
It's not my favorite on Low, and I find it hard to call anything on Low underrated,

>>61763509
Strangers When We Meet is gorgeous too.

Not super familiar with Bowie, did he regularly use polyrhythms? This is the only time I've heard it.
>>
>>61764633
I always felt like after the amazing opening track "Sunday", Cactus undos everything it accomplishes and ruins the album slightly. There are definitely some other great songs on there though
>>
>>61763104
it's this, Under Pressure because people always think of it more as a Queen song, I'm Deranged or Thru' These Architects Eyes for me
>>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jdtMIpF56s
>>
Life on Mars?
>>
>>61764764
Cactus is a very good cover though. It fits Heathen perfectly.

Anything from Lodger

fuck, Bowie in his 40s looked so good.

that's his 50s m8

Who do you like more, high pitched Bowie or baritone Bowie?

Fantastic Voyage, y'all are crazy if you don't think that's in his top 10

Bowie shitting all over any and every pretender to the throne.

It's straight-up about hot young pop stars asking Bowie for career advice. They're buckling under the pressure and losing their luster and they need to know how he dealt with it all.

But Bowie can't offer any advice: he never buckled under the pressure; he never was in jeopardy of losing his luster; unlike them, he's not just some piece of teenage wildlife.

Loving the alien ,one of his best songs on one of his worst albums.

The desperation in his voice on the beginning of the final chorus always gets me.

i never see this song get mentioned at all and it's one of his best vocal performances.

The shit he pulls with his voice on this one:

Genuinely sounds like he's having a full-on breakdown in the booth.

Pretty much all the pop songs off BTWN don't get their due recognition.

You've Been Around, Miracle goodnight....

>>61763571
Let's Dance and Fame are his two biggest hits. Not sure if bait.
>>

I like this song, even if they lyrics are pretty fedora-core.

He should have done more sci-fi concept songs.
