 Hi all, here's something I believe is quite overdue on here ~ a David Bowie rankdown.
This first part will feature 30 songs from the beginning of Bowie's career to the end of the 1970s. The second part will focus on his output from the 1980s to the 2010s.
This list includes a variety of singles and significant non-singles Bowie made during this time.
Here are the songs we'll be ranking:
Space Oddity
The Man Who Sold the World
Changes
Oh! You Pretty Things
Life On Mars?
All the Young Dudes
Five Years
Moonage Daydream
Starman
Ziggy Stardust
Suffragette City
Rock 'n' Roll Suicide
John, I'm Only Dancing
Drive-In Saturday
Time
The Jean Genie
Sorrow
Diamond Dogs
Rebel Rebel
Young Americans
Fame
Station to Station
Golden Years
Stay
Sound and Vision
Be My Wife
Warszawa
Beauty and the Beast
Heroes
Boys Keep Swinging
To participate:
- PM me your ranking of these songs, with #30 being your least favourite and #1 being your favourite
- Do so within the deadline, which is currently July 16th

#1-7: 5/5
#8-15: 4.5/5
#16-24: 4/5
#25-29: 3.5/5
#30: 3/5
David Bowie's 1970s work has a great argument for being the single best decade that any artist/group ever pulled off. Dude was chugging the Genius Juice like 24/7

I like what I've heard of David Bowie's songs and have listened to a few of his albums in full so I decided to try this, I've been listening to the songs today and it's a headache to rank. Probably will be submitting tomorrow!

Top 2: 5/5
3-14: 4.5/5
15-25: 4/5
26-30: 3.5/5
On one hand, this RD makes me want to see a Beatles RD finally happen. On the other hand, with how much I struggled to rank this, maybe I don't want a Beatles RD.
