My favorite David Bowie song was the cover of Walk This Way that he did with Public Enemy because it was the first rap metal song.

Andy Wahol - It just sounds so freaking cool.

My wife's is "Is there life on Mars"?

We listen to a lot bowie around here. its hard to say what our favorite song is.

ThisGuy: I just listened to Outside today very loud for the first time in a while. I loved it. Heart's Filthy Lesson is one of his best.

Possibly "Secret Life Of Arabia", although most of the Eno/Bowie songs really turn my crank in the right direction.

Am I the only one that likes "Little wonder"?

He's been known to whore himself for cash, though.

WD should check out his christmas duet with Bing Crosby...

No, he didn't. I was mocking John F. Smith's post where he wrote that Alexander Hamilton was his favorite President because he got the country through tough times.

There were a few jokes in my post. Run-DMC's cover of Walk This Way (with Aerosmith) is often credited as the first rap metal song. Anthrax's cover of Bring the Noise (with Public Enemy) is also often credited as the first rap metal song.

Neither one was. That credit goes to Anthrax's - it was supposed to be Anthrax and the then punk band Beastie Boys but the guys in Anthrax took all the lines for themselves - I'm the Man.

In other words, I put a few pieces of rap metal minutiae together and replaced a punk band with a different punk star.

It was funny to me...

"DJ" - I dig the bridge.
"Panic in Detroit" - see Location <-
"Suffragette City" - Wham, bam, thank you ma'am!

Anthrax and Bowie in the same genre?

The Beastie Boys... when it was a punk band.

Though Anthrax has plenty of punk songs to its credit.

Oh yeah, sorry but still... That's like calling the Beatles a blues cover band...

Ground control to major Tom is my favorite, although i will admit I only know a few of his songs!.
I love the lyrics in it though, "And the Papers want to know who's shirts you wear"

Cat People. Not the version included on the Let's Dance album but the version on the Cat People soundtrack (with music by Georgio Morodor). It is pretty cool.

I believe I mentioned the entire "Earthling" album up above.

He also did "Little Wonder" with Tin Machine earlier, though, didn't he?

Oh, and for interested parties:

Bowie recovers from heart surgery

Music legend David Bowie is recovering at home in New York after undergoing emergency heart surgery.

Bowie, 57, underwent surgery last month in Germany - where he was on tour - to treat "an acutely blocked artery", his spokesman said.

He left hospital earlier this week and is convalescing at home in New York, the spokesman added.

The star's cancellation last month of 11 European dates was originally attributed to a shoulder injury.

The spokesman said Bowie sought treatment for what was thought to a be a pinched nerve in his shoulder after performing at a festival in the north-western German town of Scheessel. [Continues...]

Beaten! I was just about to post the heart story.

#49 Fri, 9 Jul 2004 - 08:41

Friends of mine were at the show in Schee�el (where he was whisked off stage and straight into hospital immediately after the show), but this was the first article I'd seen with a follow-up.

I'm amazed anyone can even name a song from the Tin Machine years. I thought those traumatic memories had been collectively suppressed long ago.

For me: Ziggy Stardust and Lady Stardust (though Hunky Dory is favourite album).
