 Hi,
Here is the 2nd of 2 David Bowie rankdowns I'm hosting. This one contains singles from 1980's Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) to 2016's Blackstar.
This period was not full of consistent acclaim like the 1970s output, but there are several classic Bowie songs and a lot of musical variety.
Here are the songs:
Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)
Ashes to Ashes
Fashion
Under Pressure
Cat People (Putting Out Fire)
Modern Love
China Girl
Let's Dance
Loving the Alien
Tonight
Blue Jean
This Is Not America
Dancing in the Street
Absolute Beginners
Underground
Day-In Day-Out
Time Will Crawl
Jump They Say
Hallo Spaceboy
Strangers When We Meet
Little Wonder
I'm Afraid of Americans
Thursday's Child
Slow Burn
New Killer Star
The Stars (Are Out Tonight)
Where Are We Now?
Blackstar
Lazarus
I Can't Give Everything Away
To participate:
- PM me your rankings of these songs, with #1 being your favourite and #30 being your least favourite
- Do so by the deadline, which is currently September 17th

List sent
I have to say that I really enjoyed all the songs. There is not a single song I dislike, but ... My top 10 is really made up of songs that stood out for me.
Thanks for making me have my Bowie friday afternoon. Kylie will wait.

This was significantly harder than part 1 as I had zero points of reference (okay, one but still). Comparing the quality between the two sets of songs is pointless. I think my list is very random and the eras are pretty mixed.
The one thing I'm gonna say is: being an absolute Bowie newbie, it's almost jarring to hear the 1980s effect on his music and how... regular it sounded. Especially after part 1 of this series, which showcased how ahead of his time and unique he was.
(Im)patiently waiting for the results!

I did not decide on making a list for this but I could listen to the playlist Monday afternoon (after doing my session of hosting Summertime Madness).

I hate to just repost an old meme video, but nothing is more appropriate for this cover, and I never get tired of it

Says a lot that, even with some of the worst of Bowie's weakest years here, this still was an easy choice for last place. This entire concept was a mistake, let alone the execution.
