Low is very much worth checking out for it's first side. The straightforward, snappy, super focused instrumentals with minimal vocals works unbelievably well, and I'm only disappointed that it doesn't continue the whole way through. The instrumentals on the second side are fine, but they just kinda wash over me compared to the first side. Same goes for "Heroes". There are absolutely low points of Bowie's career, but the dude put out so many absolutely phenomenal albums and songs that hes worth taking a serious look at. Like even on his worst albums you still get at least one song that goes down as one of his best.

The second side instrumentals are actually my favorite part of "Low".
>>74338253
why not Earthling?
>>74338253
>6. Young Americans
>9. Young Americans
The album so nice he named it twice.
>>74338253
The fuck?
Low Side 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Low Side 1
>>74338313
It's really good to be quite honest.
>>74338328
This.
this is his best album.
>>74337541
Is 'Heroes' one of those rare things that it's his best song just because it transcends the artist themselves? I can't think of the right word for it but 'Heroes' is one of the best songs of all time, Bowie or not. Like the pleb answer is also the correct answer here.
>>74338271
They're pretty good, I could just never jive with them like the first side. Maybe on a different album i would have liked them more.
>>74338300
The frantic drum beats are cool, but I feel like they get just a little repetitive on some of the tracks. Still like a 7-8/10 for me.
>>74338313
I go back and listen to it every now and then and I keep getting blown away by how much I still love every song on the album.
Also thought about it some more and I'm 99% sure Scary Monsters is my favorite.
>>74338400
you'll love Heathen then. give that a try.
>>74338395
Heroes is a very important song, it will go down in history, but let me make something clear. If you think Heroes is David Bowie's 'best song' (if that's something that could even be known?) then you're just being an ignorant asshat. Don't get me wrong, it's a m a s t e r p i e c e, but it's not the only one in David's arsenal and it's only excusable to hold it in the highest regards if you're new to his work.
Is real best song, well, my personal choice, can be hinted at with just these lines.
I know you think you're awful square
But you made everyone, and you've been everywhere
Lord, I'd take an overdose, if you knew what's going down.

We seem to have opposite tastes. Low is pretty much the only Bowie album I like a lot and it's mostly because of Side 2.
Station To Station is his best album and song
My answer changes on mood, I tend to think either Low, Station to Station or Blackstar are his best albums.
I don't think I could limit it to 5 best Bowie songs let alone 1.
