No. 4: Speed Your Love to Me
"Just my imagination..."
The second single from 1984's "Sparkle in the Rain" hit No. 20 in the UK. Here's where it gets difficult. These last four songs are all deserving of being No. 1.

No. 4: Suffragette City
The B side to "Starman" from 1972's "Ziggy Stardust" album is lots of fun. I have a good memory of Bowie dancing to this one when I saw the Sound + Vision Tour in Cleveland.

No. 5: Mandela Day
From the first notes I start tearing up. Part of 1989's "Street Fighting Years," it was included in the "Ballad of the Streets" EP. The official video is an edited version of the song, so I went with this one.
