The 111 Best Songs By David Bowie

I am not the definitive voice on David Bowie.  I am one voice.  Basically, this list encompasses the majority of Bowie’s solo career.  I did not include Tin Machine or his guest spot/team-ups.  I also avoided the live albums.  This list was hard enough with just his main releases.  This should be a good start…especially if you’re only getting into Bowie now.  Just remember, I told you about him first.
