nah, I'd go with Adam's list over twister's. maybe it has something do with him not restraining himself so much anymore?
actually...on more thought, I'd take twister's, too. let's make it a double disk, obviously not repeating any, 'cause that'd be truly horrific to repeat all of his shit songs.

I do. What's wrong with Neil Young?

In reply to:
even if you consider Hunky Dory as completly overrated, i doubt there is any track worse than on "david bowie".
IMO there is. Much like Tonight, David Bowie has some pathetic dignity, unlike Hunky Dory.
In reply to:
4. Soul Love (Stage..what show was that from?) 5. Blackout(Stage again..there may be a better version of these two songs, but I haven't heard it yet)
Soul Love is from Ziggy Stardust (as the five first tracks on Stage, they are much better on the album), and Blackout is from "Heroes". The album version is much better, though the song seems to divide people's opinions.
In reply to:

I've Been Waiting For You does not fit into the album, and Shake It is one of the worst things Bowie has ever committed to record.

That's an amazing list, Davidsloveslave, at least from a Bowie fan. Apart from "Song For Bob Dylan" and "I've been waiting for you" which I would put down in the "mediocre" book all other tracks are essential Bowie. Well, at least to quite a few Bowie fans in this tiny universe. Strange.
