Under pressure is a good one. He sings with queen

[@cherylwaite3255]

absolutely agree!!!! amazing song!

[@marierosemary3768]

Absolutely!!! The song resonates even in today's world!! Great song!!!

[@Shrykespeare]

I highly recommend "Heroes", "China Girl", "Rebel Rebel", "Young Americans", and "Blue Jean". His first BIG hit was "Space Oddity", which is a trip. And then of course, there was "Under Pressure", which he did with Queen!

[@altaclipper]

You left out the period including the albums Ziggy Stardust, The Man Who Sold The World, Hunky Dory and Aladdin Sane (only the most iconic look in history, and I don't use that word ever). That's my favorite Bowie material. Oh, he also did drag and was famously bisexual.

[@kelliedee]

Cat People is a brilliant song, no one seems to recommend that one!

[@breebree9319]

Well they should definitely react to this DB & Queen

[@neilmartin99]

Dude, wtf, go back a few years. C'mon man!

[@altaclipper]

Either version of "Cat People" would be worth hearing. I also loved that song and I forgot about it.

[@michaelschaefer1904]

This is one of the FEW songs that I could listen to more than once in a short period of time. It just gets you to think in a fun way. It's one of the best dance songs out there IMO. The original song had 3 sax players and one with the trumpet. The Live Aid version had two drummers. It's so musically fun that it's hard to tell the difference.

[@Kokeshiflower]

I wholeheartedly agree! It's in my top 10 songs ever.

[@yonnieproby3778]

This is the song that introduced me to David Bowie. Love this song

[@BrindleChase]

I had the honor of working security for his Glass Spider tour when he came to town and met him. He was an amazingly humble and kind person. Add that to all his talent and its easy to see why he was considered such a remarkable human being.

[@KristinKanan]

I went to this concert in August 1983 at The Forum in Los Angeles for my 14th birthday. The following year, I saw Prince (twice) on the Purple Rain tour, also at The Forum. So good! :)

[@denisejohnson281]

Fame, Dancing in the streets are two fun songs by David Bowie. For the Christmas season a duet with Bing Crosby the Little drummer boy is amazing.

[@stephenbirch566]

There's so much Bowie stuff to choose from - this is his most commercial, Radio-friendly material from the early 80s. For more on this era you HAVE to do 'Let's Dance'. Personally, my favourite era is his glam rock Ziggy Stardust era. Songs like 'Hang On To Yourself', 'Suffragette City' and 'Rebel Rebel' are the ones to go for.

[@wendyeverett4768]

This was Bowie’s contribution in the early MTV 1980s era. So danceable and also so cool. I remember seeing him on Saturday Night Live in the 70s and being entranced.

BOWIE PRODUCED HIS ALBUMS AND MANY OTHERS. HIS FINGERPRINTS ARE ONTONS OFMUSIC!!!

[@brockbaby]

Nile Rodgers wrote and produced this album for Bowie. Bowie's top selling album! Next up Nile Rodgers worked with Madonna and a tiny little album called LIK A VIRGIN!

[@glennfinley1219]

Try “Let’s Dance”. It was one of his big hits. The jacket he is wearing was a unconstructed blazer. No tapering , big shoulder pads . It was a style in the 80s based on the Zoot Suits of the 40s. The style was perfect for dancing, lots of room to move. Thanks guys! Oh by the way, check out Kim Carnes “Bette Davis Eyes” from her 1981 Album “ Mistaken Identity “ I think you will love it!

[@wendeclare]

David Bowie's greatest swoon-worthy asset was his mystique. He reinvented his look and his sound often, but not because he needed to, because he felt like it. He was a great person and a great, progressive champion for equity. Just for fun, check out Jagger and Bowie singing a remake of "Dancing in the Streets"

[@paulapeake333]

Bowie is the best...so different. My favourite song by far...

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

"BUT I NEVER WAVE BYE BYE, BUT I'VE TRIED" REFERS TO HIM TRYING TO RETIRE!!! COULDN'T DO IT!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💋💋💋💋🎷🎷🎷🎷🎤🎤🎤🎸🎸🎸

[@odonnelly46]

Also: Let's Dance, and Young American were huge hits.

[@sunnybearbuds]

This may sound weird, but so many 80s pop songs had a sax solo that we pretty much expected it. We loved it.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

This song came out in 1983. Bowie created characters for albums. This was the entire album's character he based his look around. David also played the Saxophone.. but not on this song. Artist.. Steve Elson played Sax on this track.

[@firecub02141]

Amen to young americans. That was actually luther vandross' first recording gig. the backing vocals

[@Quantarum]

Bowie was always reinventing himself and his sound, he had his finger on the pulse of music and could see where it was going.

[@mori1bund]

Not only music. He was also an internet pioneer. And there's an interview with him from the late 90s where he predicted to an incredulous interviewer exactly how the internet will change the world and how it would look like today., with downloading, streaming, social media, etc

[@theresabranford3527]

So blessed to have seen the Serious Moonlight and Sound and Vision tours. Phenomenal concerts. Great talent. Planet earth is blue since he's gone. 💙

[@James-hd6ez]

He changed with the drugs in his earlier to mid 1970s period, but still one of the all time greats! RIP Starman.

[@janejohnstone5795]

He wrote ,..some really fantastic, original songs,..very unique...very clever and exciting 😀.

[@citysin67]

Cool Fact... In the "Justice League" movie, (after the real Deaths of Prince And Davis Bowie) the opening sequence shows a quick view of a news paper - The Metropolis Post, with the headline "Did they return to their planet?", "Mysterious wave of disappearing heroes". The three photos under the headline are of David Bowie, Superman and Prince. Tribute!

[@kimberlygabaldon3260]

Bowie has an ENDLESS catalog to explore. The Diamond Dogs album was a masterpiece. Or listen to Cygnet Committee, from Space Oddity. Then hop over to Alladin Sane, if you want to REALLY hear keyboards. It's all completely different. The Man Who Sold The World, is one of his early albums.

[@deanmaynard8256]

If you have heard one Bowie song you have only heard one Bowie song. His music styles were always ahead of their time and highly varied - From folk to glam to funk to soul to avant guard to new wave etc......

[@grandmafaye7643]

He was also in the movie "Labyrinth" with lots of great music.Yeah, a David Bowie musical. What more could you want.

[@donnabrockable]

The movie Labyrinth is on Netflix this month and the main character is David Bowie and most are his songs.

[@Koningsegg]

From my youth, it was near 30 years ago, I saw first time his song "Blue Jean". I have recommended to you to watch this clip

[@neilsmith9066]

The Man!!!! The true best!!! Absolute Love This Song! Try Blue Jean and Let's Dance

[@kylemcampbellii]

Bowie was amazing! His music style changed with the times which made appeal to the younger crowd of each decade. but whatever he did you knew you were getting something special. For your next Bowie song try Ziggy Stardust, Space Oddity, Changes, or Starman.

[@kenglasson2920]

The thin white duke.....an icon

[@sharonkame471]

Check “Lazarus” from his last album. He knew he was dying but still put out some of the best music there is. Also, Freddie Mercury’s last song with Queen, “These are the Days of our Life”

[@TimothyBrannan]

The album this is from "Let's Dance" is just amazing. It was one of the first Bowie albums I bought. You want to REALLY see Bowie the chameleon? Do "Ashes to Ashes" and "Blue Jean."

[@sudzbuddy6]

By the way - He also performed under an alter ego - Ziggy Stardust Check it out...

[@Canine77]

As a huge Bowie fan and music in general, if you love the sax, may I encourage you to take a musical venture into the wonderful world of Steely Dan. Jazz rock fusion at its best.

[@CrayCruz]

Bowie always kept his fans on their toes and changed as often, and more than, Madonna...react please to Ziggy Stardust...it's a classic. So is Space Oddity and Life on Mars...for something completely different Amber. But yeah, other rockers include Suffragette City, Young Americans, Rebel Rebel. The list goes on.

[@danielmchenry1000]

I suggest do a listen of the entire Ziggy Stardust record. That record was refuge for an entire generation of young people who felt alone and afraid.

[@hampyonce]

"China Girl" is a beauty.

[@rodhubbard6320]

"Ashes to Ashes", "Fashion", "DJ" you guys should do reactions to those.

[@kimquinten5298]

You haven't even touched the surface with Bowie the man is a legend !

[@almoors1]

This song is on the album “Let’s Dance” and your next Bowie song should be the single “Let’s Dance”. Stevie Ray Vaughan was the session guitarist on the entire record, but you can really identify SRV on that particular song.

[@roberttruhn5067]

And on China Girl, for my money.

[@danalyntuthill1538]

I' m thinking they'd be less confused if they reacted to songs from one album until moving onto another one and yet another style. I already recommended Let's Dance then China Girl should follow

[@Gokke888]

and do not forget the producer of the Let's Dance album is old disco king Nile Rodgers from Chic, whose song Le Freak is a must.

[@janosfernandez945]

[@chrisf.7980]

I prefer the term shape shifter to describe Bowie over the word chameleon because a chameleon blends into its environment & Bowie did anything BUT blend in. When you look at images of him in his different personas & styles you get completely different energies / vibes from him that makes you feel like you are looking at completely different people (his distinctive eyes give him away). Rob & Amber, you have to delve more into his lengthy catalog to see this better for yourselves, and I do hope you do! 👍✌😁❤

[@CorrineSunQueen]

Amen! And go BACK if you want to witness the birth of an entirely different, ummm not only genre (Glam Rock) but also the paving stones for the various persona to follow - Allad Insane, Halloween Jack, White Plastic Soul with Luther Vandross & Ava Cherry, The Thin White Duke, The DJ. He created and gave away so many styles or genres of music for generations and was completely profound and influential. Bowie was not a chameleon. He was a shy songwriter who acted out as other personas in order to sing in front of people. Much later in his career when he became himself, David Robert Jones. Yea, yes Space Oddity, but the next one should be Starman - Top of the Pops, 1972. The World had NEVER seen anything like it before. You really will have your mouths open. Bowie made it okay to be different. Men and women alike still weep over his loss. I was blessed and highly favored. I saw him 11 times starting in '74.

[@XCaliKev]

👍😎 Very Well Said

[@Markhypnosis1]

Well he did change styles to fit the era......his 60s hippy stage, his 70s glam stage, late 70s early 80s New Romantic stage etc. So chameleon is quite apt really.

[@sexysadie2901]

@@Markhypnosis1 He didn't change styles to fit the era, his "glam" style has nothing to do with the style other glam artists wore, and of course, his looks in late 70s and early 80s have nothing to do with the new romantics, who wore a totally different kind of style. So again, chameleon is no appropriate because he never blended in.

[@chrisf.7980]

The New Romantic style was created by Bowie devotees who were directly influenced by him. London's Blitz Club was at the start of it, from what I understand. He used people from the club in his "Ashes to Ashes" video.

David Bowie was doing what Prince does 20 years before Prince.

Chameleon describes Bowie pretty well. He had a long career and went through many different sounds and looks. Heroes, rebel rebel, suffragette city, space oddity and the Jean genie are just a few I would recommend listening to. The guy had a lot of good songs. While I’m thinking about Bowie I’ll relay this info. Although he might have had more popular songs, my favorite is “Heroes” because of the rebellious tone it strikes. My favorite rendition is the half English, half German version.

"Can't compare Bowie and Prince," and yet you (we) immediately DO. I think we absolutely compare them, not as rivals-- it's not about "who's better"-- but as similar types of artists.

This is one of my faves from Bowie. So much variety to choose from with his catalog. If you haven't already reacted, you must check out *Under Pressure* duet with Freddy Mercury.

[@jonathanlocke6404]

Essential Bowie to react to would include "Space Oddity" and "Heroes"...I would like to see "Ashes to Ashes" and "Rebel Rebel"...The next one if you really liked this one should be "Let's Dance"...

When Bowie was making the movie, "The Man Who Fell to Earth", they filmed at Fenton Lake, north of Jemez Springs, NM. I was living in a travel trailer (my husband was working on a geothermal rig there) and he had heard of the filming. We drove up to the lake and hubby got out to ask/see what was going on. We were parked next to a van and as I was sitting there waiting the door opened up and I had eye contact with what looked like an alien with white skin (paint) all over him. I think he was naked. But he smiled at me and the door quickly shut. My husband came back and told me Bowie was in the van! The movie was interesting.

The spot where he fell to Earth is on my friend’s property in Madrid, NM.

If you want to hear one of his best personas, turn "Suffragette City" up to 11. It's one of the all time great rockers.

[@randygibson318]

How about 20!

'To Be Played at Maximum Volume'

[@lylewicks4112]

@@MrUndersolo As Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap says (google him kids), 10 is maximum volume on amps but his goes to 11 which is "1more".

Definitely! It defines David Bowie for me. Saw him in concert 3 or 4 times. I miss him!!!!!!

[@elainemarsh5170]

Bowie was such a daring artist, willing to dabble in so many different styles. Changes, Young Americans and Heroes are three of my favorites.

[@heathcornbeef]

Hell yeah I'd like to add GOLDEN YEARS AND SPACE ODDITY

[@heathcornbeef]

Have you heard MOTORHEADs version of HEROES... LORD LEMMY KILMISTER NAILS IT

[@lena-mariag.louis-charles3579]

Check out "YOUNG AMERICANS", "CHINA GIRL", "SUFFRAGETTE CITY", "LET'S DANCE", "CHANGES" and "DANCING IN THE STREET" by this ICONIC LEGEND - the late, great David Bowie was way ahead of his time... and to watch him perform live was an incredible experience.

[@mokumboi19]

More Bowie classics for ya: Rebel Rebel, Suffragette City, Changes, Young Americans (killer sax in that one) and Ziggy Stardust.

[@ProfHillyard4796]

Definitely Let's Dance, because as an added bonus, you get a Stevie Ray Vaughan solo at the end. Rebel Rebel is another great one.

"Not the thing that floats..." HILARIOUS! David Bowie was so influential in ways we take for granted now. For instance: You recognized some Prince vibes, and that's one of the things about Bowie: He introduced androgyny to pop music. The New York Dolls, Kiss, and Twisted Sister all were okay with wearing makeup; Bowie was first. He made it fashionable. (And I'd say Bowie was influenced by Lou Reed there...and of course Bowie produced Lou Reed's earliest solo records.) To say Bowie was chameleon-like is also spot-on. He changed personas the way most of us change clothes. For a long time in the early 1970s, many thought his name was Ziggy Stardust, a character he played on his breakthrough album. (React to ANY song on that album.) It's a very deep dive to fully appreciate David Bowie, because his influence was that deep and profound. The thing is: he would break new ground and others would enter that realm and make it popular... all after Bowie had already moved on to "the next thing." His album "Low" is nowhere near as "fun" as any of his other albums. And yet, it's so perfect. I would have to describe Bowie like this: "In order to understand 'D', you have to understand 'A,' B,' and 'C.' And you'll never understand 'E' until you know 'A, B, C, and D.' The catch is...you'll never fully appreciate 'A' until you've learned all about 'E'." Does that make any sense? You can appreciate any of Bowie, but wow, you cant get the big picture right away. Bowie's roots extend so far out you have to circle back to him to understand what you thought you already knew. As I say, he's a deep dive. But very much worth it.

Was nice to mention Kiss, Twisted Sister, which I loved growing up with also...but also Elton John Alice Cooper did the face paint thing...but David Bowie U can't beat... The song Labyrinth awesome
