Here's my answer, but I feel like almost every answer in this thread is valid. The Width of a Circle and Rock 'n' Roll Suicide are also contenders

died just after his bday, from cancer

Fuck this gay earth

I'll just post my favorite from each album cause god damn it's hard to choose one.

Silly Boy Blue, Memory of a Free Festival, Man Who Sold the World, Oh! You Pretty Things, Rock N' Roll Suicide, Aladdin Sane, Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing[reprise], Fascination, Golden Years, Subterraneans, "Heroes", Look Back in Anger, Teenage Wildlife, Criminal World, Don't Look Down, Time Will Crawl, Looking for Lester, Buddah of Suburbia, Strangers When We Meet, Dead Man Walking, New Angels of Promise, Sunday, Bring Me the Disco King, The Stars (are out Tonight), and Lazarus.

IMO, Station to Station has his best songwriting. That bridge kills me every time:

"Once there were mountains on mountains
And once there were sun birds to soar with
And once I could never be down

Got to keep searching and searching
Oh, what will I be believing and who will connect me with love?
Wonderful, wonderful, wonder when

Have you sought fortune, evasive and shy?
Drink to the men who protect you and I
Drink, drink, drain your glass, raise your glass high"

Plus, I love cocaine side effects line.

My personal favorite is Sound and Vision, but there are plenty of other good choices like Ashes to Ashes or just a lot of the other stuff people have suggested in this thread.

Station To Station and Beauty And The Beast are my personal favorites, not sure if they're his best, though.

Win is objectively the best bowie song. Lost my virginity to moonage daydream, it's pretty great as well
