5 David Bowie
Hunky Dory
"Quicksand"
Look, I love glam-era Bowie, but like I've said a billion times on this website, I prefer the 76-80 era Bowie. However "Quicksand" still manages to crush almost all of the 76-80 era songs. Almost. Religious allusions, a beautiful string section, and most importantly one of the best pickups I've ever heard, Quicksand has everything I want out of an early 70s Bowie track. It's an even more depressing listen now since he mentions death so bluntly of course.
4 David Bowie
Scary Monsters
"Scream Like a Baby"
Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) is my favorite David Bowie album, but oddly enough none of the tracks make my top 3. If that's not a testament to how great David Bowie is, I don't know what it is. I love the melody of "Scream Like a Baby" everything from the poppy chorus to the intense verses. The lyrics about how the government cracked down on alternative cultures and forced assimilation are not only powerful, but also upsetting. The guitar during the verses really creates some great suspense that leads to character Sam's demise. It's probably my 2nd favorite of Bowie's cohesive stories.
3 David Bowie
Station to Station
"Station to Station"
I can't imagine a better way to open a David Bowie album than with a lengthy multiple sectioned epic ("Blackstar" "The Width of a Circle" hell I wish "Cygnet Committee" opened up Space Oddity) and this is the best one of them all. It's a dancy, krautrock inspired, guitar heavy, song about one of his crazy characters. What else could a Bowie fan ask for? And with all of these great qualities, the harmonica and piano manage to steal the show. Nothing could possibly improve this song, it's perfect.
2 David Bowie
"Heroes"
""Heroes""
It's difficult to find a Bowie fan who doesn't think this is absolutely one of his great songs and for good reasons. Memorable, no scratch that, ICONIC guitar and piano lead the depressing and emotional vocals of David Bowie. As he tries to enjoy one more happy day in his marriage (to Angie Bowie?) Some say it was inspired by Bowie seeing two lovers (one on each side of the Berlin wall) who were making the best of the worst situation they could imagine. Yet again, I can't image doing anything to this song to make it any more perfect, hell except extending it heh.

All the Madmen is such a jam, overall this is a little rougher around the edges than some of his later works but there's enough to like here.
