What are your favorite Bowie songs? (But I repeat myself.)

Here are the rules for this thread:

1. Don’t number the songs you list. F--k that s--t! I want this to be just an off-the-cuff, spontaneous, spur-of-the-moment, impromptu response, not some kind of scientific methodology. I’m serious! Spastic, I am hereby instructing you that, if anybody defies this rule, please remove their numbers forthwith! Wait, is that a word? Never mind, you know exactly what I mean, young man. Now get busy.

Suffragette City
Changes
Space Oddity
Fame
Heroes
Golden Years
Beauty and the Beast
African Night Flight
DJ
Red Sails
It’s No Game
Ashes to Ashes
China Girl
Ricochet
Criminal World

I am in agreement, as well. "Station to Station" is my favorite Bowie song of all. I'll have to think about the rest, there are quite a few great ones.
