"Station To Station" is probably the 70s Bowie 'signature song' I took the longest to come around to. It relies heavily on that 2 1/2-bar vamp so you have to really like that vamp for it to work for you. Yea this top 5 is pretty much what I expected completely

Not surprised to see what songs made this top 5.
Also I was thinking that Changes would have been in my bottom 10 ranks.

Since "Changes" was the only song in this top ten that I don't love to pieces (and even then, I might be getting to that point ever so slowly with "Changes" right now), I can't say that I have any complaints about how things have shaken out so far.
This is just about the top five I expected, though I thought "Changes" would be here instead of "Ziggy".

"Moonage Daydream" was never among my favorites on Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (I still like it), I'm not sure why.
What this RD made clear for me is that I need to listen to Station to Station (the album) in full soon. I enjoyed all three songs from that album in this RD a lot.

Of course Jugg's first place is the Guitar Hero 1 song heh
Though I can't lie and say that association didn't influence my appreciation for it as well

It always holds a special place in my heart

Jesus, that's a clean sweep for "Mars", not a single weak point in any of its stats

I would have guessed Life On Mars? would be the top song, an undeniable classic, although I would have ranked Space Oddity above it.

Sent. I thought I knew my #1 going in but my (predicted) #2 sort of blew me away these past few days. Neither of them is anywhere close to niche, and I suspect they will finish top 5 lol. They ended up being the top 2 lol. I thought "Heroes" would scrape through. Thank you for hosting Will!

Life On Mars is easily one of the most beautiful songs ever written and recorded. Could've been my #1 on a different day.
Thanks for hosting Will!
