Persistent (but slow) Parkrunner.
6. Station To Station
from the album of the same name. 1976
I wonder what people made of this when it was first released, as it was so different to anything that he'd done up to that point.

7. Where Are We Now?
from The Next Day. 2013
The track that emerged seemingly out of nowhere, ending his long hiatus.
A meditation on aging and nostalgia, which is incredibly moving.

10. Young Americans
from the album of the same name. 1975
Bowie does Philly soul, because why not.
Strange to think that barely two years later he was releasing Low.

Bowie does big pop.
Taken from Let's Dance which, counterintuitively, is his best selling album.

A monumental piece of music. Still sounds otherworldly and ahead of it's time; even today.
Also gives me an excuse to post this hilarious skit from Bowie superfan Adam Buxton.

29. I'm Afraid Of Americans (V1)

My only pick from 1984-2001, which let's be honest wasn't his best period.
This track has one of his best videos too.
