It is a great song, but I have to go with Satellite of Love. There are many things I love about this song—the finger snaps and crescendoing horns in the vamp, the weird little recorder solo, the fact that there’s a tuba. But it’s the backing vocals that really do it for me. First, there’s the Thunder Thighs, the back up singers who did the “Do Do Do” part of “Walk on the Wild Side.” And then there’s David Bowie! And he kills it. The falsetto on the descending arpeggios — “Bom bom bom.” The soaring high notes at the end. Good stuff.

Are the Beatles or the Stones the best? Is Zeppelin in that pantheon? I don't know. That's all subjective. But I think I know who was most important... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWq7a8Tin8g
That movie is fantastic. It does the band as I think the band would've done the band.
And apropos, sadly... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgrSVSHTwHg
