Every David Bowie Song From Lowest to Highest Rated

Рет қаралды 14,103

Жыл бұрын

Only including songs released on official David Bowie studio albums.
On the internet, I shared a survey I created where a person can go through and rate every David Bowie song that exists on a 1-10 scale. I received hundreds of responses, and went through all the data averaging together the ratings for every song, and then put them into ascending order. The result is what I believe to be perhaps the most accurate ranking of every David Bowie song according to the fanbase’s opinions.
This video took a lot of work, and if you’re interested in more big videos like this, consider leaving a like on the video and letting me know in the comments you want more stuff like this. Thanks for watching as always!

Am I the only one who really likes David Bowie 1969 album? Songs like "Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Daze" and "Memory of a Free Festival" really showcases Bowie folk rock take inspired by Bob Dylan.

Im glad this is a pretty good ranking! Though personally I think Space Oddity is within top 10 and not just for the title track but for the folk songs too

Thanks for this awesome collection! As always with Bowie, the situation is very interesting. Many original and unusual works (particularly from "1.Outside", "Earthing", "Buddha of Suburbia", "Lodger" and early ones) are extremely underestimated and unfamiliar to a large audience. And at the same time, among the best songs are both famous, cult and classic, such as "The Rise and The Fall of Ziggy Stardust ...", and with them in the top are some of his most experimental and complex works, from the Berlin trilogy to "Blackstar" I'm glad that Bowie is in such an unusual position, and I'm glad that the audience perceives and appreciates the different types of his work. 🔥⚡

I didn't expect to agree as much as I ended up doing! Bowie has such a plethora of utterly perfect tracks and such a clean record overall I'd understand any order of the top 20 to some extent or another. Seeing Life on Mars be the top 1 though was beautiful, I've always considered it his best and one of the greatest songs ever written. Good picks!

@@elchasseur9927 Yeah, that's fair. I guess for me, it's a bit rough, though -- considering the brilliance of the albums that followed. Bowie wasn't nearly in "full form," as it were, on the debut. But sure, I suppose there are some nuggets to like, for what they are.

This list is ludicrous! Who compiled it? There is a Happy Land was/is one of the best things he did. 😮 Please Mr Gravedigger broke all conventions and boundaries; much more than his claiming to be bisexual. I've never heard anything like it. 😮😮😮 Anyone releasing it today would probably be arrested.
