Station to Station is one of the best albums of all time. TVC15 is my favorite off of that album.

This is a weird one.....

It starts out as "Young Americans" but turns into Bowie and Cher (yes, that one) singing a medley of 50'S & 60's hits.

Favorite Bowie tune barnone is heroes, What a grate song, almost brings a tear to your eye for some reason. my favorite version for some reason though, is the Wallflowers cover of it. Bowie is one of the great songwriter he's like The New Wave version of Bob Dylan or something.

There's a great version of "All The Young Dudes" with Ian Hunter before that.

"Heroes" was ruined by Bowie doing The Lord's Prayer afterwards.
