What was your favourite David Bowie Single of the eighties. I find his songs tend to ggrow on you, he has such a great singing voice that they just tend to stay in your head and become great songs.

I think this is going to be a difficult poll.

Bowie is definitely an aquired taste I think. I never really liked him at first and all though I am no where near a fan, I do enjoy some of his music.

My all time favourite of his would be "Sorrow".

i like under pressure (with queen) the best

"This is not America", maybe because of the special touch that the Pat Metheny Group gives to this song. Another "best one" for me: "Blue Jean".

I really like that song "Absolute Beginners". I love all of Bowie's music. He is one of my favorite singers of all time.

I voted for "Modern Love"... I always liked the opening sequence to this song. Another Bowie song from the 80s that I always liked was "Blue Jean"!!!

"Blue Jean... I just met a girl named Blue Jean..."

I voted for "China Girl", this video is definitely one of Bowie's best and controversial videos! :thumb:

I was more into 70s Bowie. I would go with "Never Let Me Down" from 1987.

I voted for Let's Dance.

Not that big of a David Bowie fan but I voted for "Let's Dance".

I agree with Recker. Bowie is an acquired taste. I am not really a fan of his but do like some of his songs. I voted for "Lets dance"

Absolute beginners...This was a toughie tho'. Bowie's made some great tunes over the years :)

This poll got me to think about the flik "Kristiane F" I know it's not 80s, but it's till a very good movie indeed...and Bowie or actually Ziggy Stardust is in it :)

I went with "Under pressure" although I consider that more of a Queen single but it was on the poll, so I picked it :p

I voted for Modern Love too. And like you, Blue Jean was my other favorite. I'm glad you brought that one up!:)

And like you, Blue Jean was my other favorite. I'm glad you brought that one up!:) :( In fact, I brought that one up before... I was wondering why nobody had mentioned this wonderful song before me...

I went with Ashes To Ashes. It's the closest to my fave Bowie sounds of the Heroes, Low, Lodger period.

He lost me a little in the mid 80s. I still liked his stuff but it wasn't quite as interesting and unique as some of his other work. He picked it up again though with stuff like Time Will Crawl.

Smurfy's right about Christiane F. :) But then he already knew that. lol

Brilliant soundtrack. Look Back in Anger is probably still my absolute fave Bowie Song. Or maybe it's Heroes. Actually, it could be Station to Station. Ah, bugger. Most of them. :D

I'm with 80s hair and have to say that I loved "Never Let Me Down" and I also loved the Video. Reminds me of the film "They Shoot Horses Dont They?"

I chose 'Under Pressure' though I also like 'Never Let Me Down'

This one was tough. I could have voted for anyone of them, since I pretty much like everything Bowie ever did. I voted for This Is Not America.

I voted for Modern Love. I like the intro and David Bowie sounds so cool in this song.

I like all of the songs from the Let's Dance cd and China Girl is my second favorite.

I love this guy (well his music anyway) but my vote goes to Let's Dance :)

I voted "Others" but Im not sure if it's an 80s song or even a single. The song I think of is "Heroes" - I really love that song :D If it's not correct in this poll, then I would go for "Ashes To Ashes" :)

I voted for "Let's Dance" :)
It still Irks me :irked: how Puff the magick Daddy or whatever the heck his name is now took this song and BUTCHERED it!:dammit:

What??? How could anyone attempt to remake that song! It was unique! Nobody could do it like Bowie!

Absolute beginners with Ashes to Ashes as close second.

MODERN LOVE is what I have to go with. I love the sax solo in it!

Modern Love was my choice....

Definitely 'Modern Love'...'Let's Dance' a close second :verycool:

tough choice, ill vote for china girl!

Without a doubt, "China Girl" and it's also one of my favorite videos too! :)

I vote for Let's Dance- But China Girl is a close Second

Under Pressure on this list.

I would have to give my vote to the song, Let's Dance.

Oops! I screwed up and clicked on Other! I meant "Ashes To Ashes" (1980)! THAT is his best single of the 80s. It's a classic intro and a classic 80s song, period!

I missed this poll somehow earlier...I bought Bowie's Greatest Hits last week and it has not left my stereo. Bowie has grown on me and recently I have been really getting into his music. My favorite from this list is "Other" Blue Jean is a great song.

I'm jazzin for Blue Jean :)

Under Pressure got my vote!!

"Under Pressure"

'ashes to ashes' is his best song (only slightly, but w/o hesitation), but the LP version is diminished by the added bits. the single version (can be found on changes II) is perfect.

regrets already, cuz it seems criminal to single out 1 bowie tune over the scores of other possibilities. i get a huge rise out of what would probably be 40th on the list.

obviously a huge bowie fan; the only VH1 Top 100 list that i ever saluted was when they named him highly on Most Influential. what an artist.

I voted for Other.....

Never Let Me Down gets my vote.

Modern Love

"Under Pressure" - awesome song!!!

Modern Love- (Anybody remember when the WWF used to use it as the closing music on thier weekly saturday morning TV show?)

'Modern Love' is my choice :thumb: I also like 'Major Tom', not sure if it was 80's though
