Favorite song?

I gotta go with "Heroes" or "Modern Love"

"Suffragette City" is a dark-horse.

There is baseball, and occasionally there are other things of note

Love suffragette city. I always find myself playing drums on my steering wheel when it comes on.

Young Americans

He didn't originally record it, but he wrote All the Young Dudes, which would probably be my favorite of his if he had just done the song himself.

Love "Heroes". One of those rare songs I can listen to on repeat for an hour and not bat an eye. One of my all-time favorites for sure.

I know he has a ton of popularity, but he never seems to quite get the respect he deserves.

When it comes to 70s artists, I would venture that only Bruce Springsteen, the Stones and Van Morrison were decidedly better. The Who are probably better. He's on par with Dylan (Dylan had just one great 70s release, but it happened to be the best album of the 70s) and Fleetwood Mac.

A really great artist.

I'm sure everyone has heard this, but I love this dude from Life Aquatic playing all Bowie songs in Portugeese.

I've been listening to this song a ton lately, and it now will always remind me of the 2014 Orioles.

In a similar vein, when the Lakers won the 2010 title I was listening "The Warrior" by Scandal (don't ask) pretty much every day -- now, whenever that song comes on Sirius I think of Ron Artest hitting that absurd 3 in game 7 vs. Boston and I get chills.

Hoping "Heroes" has a similar effect, because it's a better song for one haha.
