Anyway, I went with Fame. His performance on Soul Train for that song still makes me smile when I think of it.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

"Panic in Detroit," of course.  ;)

"Station to Station" is, in my opinion, his best work (though the album as a whole isn't one of his better ones.  It's obvious that the drugs were *really* starting to take over at that point.)  Of the ones on the list I'd pick "Heroes."
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

For me it would be "Alladin Sane."
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

How very odd.  This isn't like you at all.

It's totally like me.  I'm all about making the newbies feel welcome.

Well to be accepted you must kill one of our number.  I suggest Yi since he called you out.  Also he's probably smaller then the rest of us.
IIRC Yi is not small at all.

Okay, Cal instead.  He should be easy to spot.  He likes to dress up as a Roman soldier..
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I definitely do not see the appeal of that one.

No?  I like it.  It's apocalyptic.

Bowie gets credit for writing it, but Mott the Hoople made it famous. Bowie essentially covered it after that.

It's incredibly dull.

Oh! You Pretty Things is both apocalyptic and fun.

I don't see why that's relevant.
