Happy day, db!

Under Pressure, Modern Love, Let's Dance, Heroes, Rebel Rebel, Absolute Beginners, Changes....just to name a few songs! Really ANYTHING Bowie related is absolutely fine with me because...........IT'S BOWIE RELATED!!!

Red Sails from off of 'Lodger'...the 'the hinterland..' bit always gets me laughing ans shouting out loud. Another of the myriad Bowie album tracks that are truly astonishing

This is a hard one but Id love it if you played Dodo (Diamond Dogs outtake) or It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City (Springsteen cover) or A New Career In A New Town. Would be a welcome addition to the usual (albeit brilliant) stuff that usually gets played



x

Hard to choose just a few, but if pushed: Heroes (blasts heart and soul on every listen - truly epic in scope), Thursday's Child (sweet, romantic, sincere and moving), Rebel Rebel (dirtysweet), Rock'n'Roll with Me (from David Live), Word on a Wing (spiritual, dramatic/traumatic and sad), The Rays (deep and mature), Sweet Thing (from David Live), Remembering Marie-A (from TV production of Bertolt Brecht's Baal - stunning), All the Young Dudes (soaring).

Favourite cover: The Pixies' Cactus (sex)

Favourite collaborator: Tony Visconti

Favourite concert: Glasgow SECC, Reality Tour, 2004

David Bowie has been my most loved and cherished artist since I was captivated by the advert for Changes in my brother's NME when I was nine. His work has made my life richer. Many thanks go out to him from my heart.

Please, dare play The Laughing Gnome. It's proof that David is flesh and blood, after all ;-)

Subterraneans, Joe the Lion, A New Career in a New Town, Stay (Live Nassau Colliseum '76), Win, Beauty and the Beast, V-2 Schneider, Nightclubbing, Art Decade (Stage), The Secret Life of Arabia, Jump They Say, Golden Years, Untitled No. 1, The Mysteries, South Horizon, Bring Me the Disco King, There Is a Happy Land, Can't Help Thinking About Me (60s original), I Can't Read (Tin Machine version), Modern Love

When you Rock n Roll with me, After All, As the world falls down, Slip Away, Strangers when we meet, Buddah of Suburbia....so many that I love and that have been the soundtrack to my life. He was my education in the seventies and an inspiration ever since. He led me to a life in music and theatre. Best live shows I ever saw and I still get chills when I hear his wonderful singing voice.

Happy Birthday Mr B. x

the best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be ♥♥♥

Play Heroe and Dodo!! I'm having A BLAST!!! Thank you BBC!!

Station To Station. Have seen a show of every tour since 1971 at Wrestling Stadium in Liverpool. Kind of impossible to choose but whenever looking for something to hum or sing to myself this is the one....I must have sang the phrase "The return of the Thin Whit Duke....." a thousand times. Plus 1976 at Wembley - Chien Andalou eyeball clip - ten minute intro by band - atmosphere - gitanes - best give EVER

simply start with....

Stateside (10 min oh Vey Baby Live version), Sorry, Baby Universal, You Belong in Rock n Roll (anything from Tin machine basically)



Followed by...

Tumble an Twirl, I Keep Forgettin' and Dancing with the Big Boys



Finish off with...

Glass Spider and Segue - Nathan Alder

Any track from Station to Station, this his masterpiece.

Teenage Wildlife for an underated track.

Would say Lou Reed as fav collaberator.

Suede were great Bowie imitators, 3 class albums.

And a big up for The Man Who Fell To Earth, not a box office smash, but now a cult classic

Typo - best GIG ever obviously. But hen not been to abad Bowie show.

I'd love to hear anything from Station to Station. I also quite like David and Moby covering the Pixies' Cactus. Can I post a link here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itiTmGq7aco

I would love to hear the dulcet tones of david bowie david bowie recite the peter rabbit storybringing a new dimension to the term silver tongued.

I'm a polish fan of DB so I'm sorry for my english. "Please mr Gravedigger" is a must for me, next: "The gospel according to tony day" / "John, I'm only dancing" / "Rebel Rebel" / "Dancing in the street" and HELLO SPACEBOY ---> pleeeeease play those songs!!! David Bowie is my very private star and the most important art - personality for me (I'm painting a bit and he influenced me very strongly) I can just say: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID, AND KEEP DANCING...." PS: how can I listen this audition afterward? Greetings (for/to) Your Team. Please Please Please play even one!:D

Also.... Loving The Alien - stripped down live version from 'A Reality Tour 2004'



Bowie himself, says "perhaps this is the way it should always have been done".



Amazing!

To my Hero Happy Birthday and Happy Land :)

moonage day dream , sweet thing candidate sweet thing reprise , width of a circle word on a wing , alladin sane , stay , win , warzawa , beauty and the beast ,quicksand ,unwashed and somewhat slightly dazed,teenage wildlife ,african night flight , the motel ,

brilliant show, been a fan since I was 11. First album was diamond dogs but his music has taken me in so many directions. My favourite has to be Sorrow. Love it all

a great cover version of bowie track is , seal ( quicksand)

June 19th 1973 Southampton guildhall. David Bowie, my first ever gig. Absolutely unforgettable. For me, his best ever track has to be Cygnet Comittee. Angry, desperate, slaying lyrics juxtaposed with a beautifully melodic backing track, this is pure Bowie at his insane best. Please play!!

With thanks

David Faid, [Personal details removed by Moderator], Cornwall.

Velvet Goldmine. Slick and sexy, unbelievable it didn't make 'Ziggy'.

Also, 'Time' from Aladdin Sane, just for THAT line about falling w***ing to the floor.

play David Bowie & Marc Bolan The Prettiest Star Studio Original version ,,if you can

Lady Grinning Soul, Letter To Hermione...............I'll just write some love to you, Happy Birthday DB

Happy birthday!

For me..in no particular order... video crime(tin machine),looking for lester,cat people,87 and cry,D.J,always crashing in the same car,warszawa,art decade,betty wrong(Tin machine 2)boys keep swinging,Queen Bitch,Diamond Dogs,watch that man,win,station to staion....& a song that means so much to me i cant even attempt to put it into words, as words are not worthy of the sheer genius of this track....all i can say is it changed my life upon hearing it... from the motion picture Labyrinth (Within You)....Happy Birthday Sir David.

Loving the programme - Bowie's in Space good call!!

Would love the BBC to do something visual to celebrate his birthday too!

Joe the lion.

Where to start? Always start my workouts to "Beauty & the Beast" form "Heroes"; the magic Eno touch always works!

No... to Laughing Gnome, too many other good things to sqeeze in! One of a few rare duds from the main man

The Horrors doing Suffragette City please - it's awesome

Happy birthday your royal gorgeousness xxxxx

Excellent show so far Mr Robinson. Thank you.

Happy Birthday for Sunday! To compile a list of top 10 is really difficult, but here goes: Golden Years, Wild is the Wind, Scary Monsters and Super Creeps, Modern Love, God Only Knows, Five Years, Drive In Saturday, Queen Bitch, Boys Keep Swinging, Sound and Vision. There are loads more though!

Sound & Vision was the very 1st vinyl I bought from my pocket money when I was 14. Now after 34 years I happily reflect: Picasso could distinguish millions of colour shades, but was absolutely tone-deaf. Bowie his holistically brilliant artistic work makes him my genius of choice. I would love to hear the emotionally fuelled "Rock 'N' Roll Suicide" from the 1974 Live album at the Tower, Philadelphia. Long may you continue, Mr.Jones!!

Very difficult, but at least: the whole Honky Dory album, Ziggy Stardust as well and Aladdin Sane...

Songs: Rock and roll suicide, Lady grinning soul, Oh you pretty things, Queen bitch, Suffragette city, John I'm only dancing, Drive-in saturday. And The laughing gnome, of course!

All the young dudes with Mott the Hoople, Dancing in the street with Mick Jagger.

Anyway, anything from the love of my life will do!

Happy birthday!

David Bowie has been the soundtrack to my life. Happy birthday and thank you for all the songs. I think my absolute favourite is Young Americans - it is funky, sexy, soulful and gorgeous!
